Religion Has Its Uses

Is this the most blasphemous thing you've ever read? Here's how New York Times movie critic Manohla Dargis opens her review at the top of page 1 of today Arts section:

"Jesus of Nazareth spent 40 days in the desert. By comparison, Superman of Hollywood languished almost 20 years in development hell."

Lest you think I'm kidding, Dargis two sentences later notes that "the Man of Steel has been resurrected..." And there's more where that came from.
