    Shrek: A Meme and a Masterpiece

    I have seen so many damn memes of this movie over the years that it’s hard to take this movie seriously anymore. It’s kind of twisted my childhood nostalgia for it into something bizarre that I can’t really describe. But I’m going to put all of that aside as best as I can and look…
