Now who is the world’s Pre-eminent Evildoer? I’m looking at the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted” list where they now have a nice red DECEASED under Osama Bin Laden’s mugshot, and these other mugs up there, no offense, they just don’t have the candlepower OBL was packing in terms of being a Bad People.

Director Cao Hamburger's key achievement in this finely crafted, rich, visually appealing, and absorbing story of an extreme latchkey childhood is in the unvarnished behavior of the youngest cast members.

Mr. Wrong: Suggestion Box Lunchnew
I'm a positive person. I always have lots of helpful suggestions all the time for all kinds of people, places, and things, but I mostly just say them in my head, like when I'm at the supermarket in the aisle where they have all the canned macaroni.

Mr. Wrong: More Is Morenew
OK, before I start this week's column -- or before I start this every-other week's column, on account of even though the Mr. Wrong "column" has been in this paper (and www-dot-pixels) for almost 10 fucking years and still is only every-other week -- I announce to you, Gentle Reader, that the Mr. Wrong column is now every week, huzzah.

Mr. Wrong: Missile Attacknew
Wowee, I sure am glad they (as in Us) shot down that top-secret military spy satellite. I kept driving around town all last week waiting for chunks of hot satellite to bonk me on the head, or to get rained on with some nuclear-atomic carcinogenic-chemical Death-Plus satellite-juice or whatever that "hydrazine" shit was inside the thing that made it so Bad.
