During his nearly 30 years at the firm, he managed to inflame associates who couldn't bear his brutal capacity for work ("Would you rather sleep," he would ask, "or win?") and offend partners who resented his freelancing ways. Late in his career with Cravath, Boies was virtually a separate firm within the firm, using outside lawyers rather than Cravath's own soldiers to assist him on big cases...
...Good conquers evil. That's a nice message. There are jokes in there that - it depends on how you look at it - but it will be offensive to some. We don't mean to offend anybody. But ultimately if I went to the movie with my neice, who's eight, I'd like to be there with her and tell her about it. I'm sure you're not literally against hearing the word hell.

...more than a figure created with a computer drawing program (as it is in the short "Stinky Monkey"), the animal abuse is nothing less than hilarious. Spike and Mike have capitalized on this tendency to dismiss animation as frivolous to show cartoons that, if seriously considered, would deeply offend. For instance, the masturbation scene in "Rick and Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in the World" contains a shot that an audience might find funny in a live action movie if it weren't so completely politically incorrect. But due to the fact that the protagonist is no more than...
