...little bit Fagin, a little bit Stromboli from the Disney Pinocchio, and a whole lot rotten; but, thanks to Lane's vocalizing, he has enough vaudeville swank and showmanship to make him an irresistible cartoon villain. (The same can't be said for Sutherland's mayor, a one-note sociopath who risks Metro City's very existence in order to get re-elected. Why doesn't he just rig the ballot boxes like any normal despot...

...People were very surprised that you stayed with Joey after it happened. Are you surprised, looking back? No. Reliving my life and realizing now that I was married to a very, very good sociopath, I can see why I stayed. We had been married for 15 years up to that point. And I believed him. It's as simple as that. I believed him when he said he had nothing to do with her. (See pictures of crime in Middle America...

...rebel James Kirk becomes a man by chasing down Nero, the renegade Romulan who killed his father at the very moment James was born. (In the inevitable sequel, will Kirk find out that Nero is his real father?) For the first third of the movie, James is a budding sociopath; as a kid he steals a car and, when pursued by a cop, nearly drives it over a cliff; later he picks bar brawls with packs of space studs. Anger management was not a major issue with Shatner's Kirk, but that was a different century. Pike's Kirk...

...will fess up entirely to SEC investigators digging for the remaining $49.15 billion in vanished loot. Maybe the money total is as inflated and false as his victims' accounts; maybe large chunks were taken out by depositors. Either way, outside experts say it stretches credulity to think a clever sociopath and long-term bandit would not take special, even basic steps to protect his extended family from the ugly shame of poverty, particularly since this alleged bandit knew he was headed for the brig...
