** Granny, too. One scene in ''Continental Drift has her have her "first bath in decades", where she releases enough oil to cause the water around her to develop a bright sheen and kill off several fish and a shark. It's easy to see where Sid gets his own slovenly tendencies from.

* ''Film/VenomLetThereBeCarnage'': Thanks to Venom's sloppy ways, Eddie's apartment is always filthy, as Venom uses a blender without the lid on, leaves candy wrappers all over the floor, and two live chickens are living there, defecating and shedding feathers.
