What Planet is Hollywood From?

Here's proof that Hollywood is so f'ing "out there" when it comes to the rest of civilization. This is the first paragraph of Variety's review of Superman Returns:

"What is it about the current climate that has produced three major releases within a month's time that hinge on the hitherto unsuspected offspring of legendarily childless figures -- Jesus in "The Da Vinci Code," Satan in "The Omen" and the title character here? It's an odd development, although it does provide a promising springboard for future series entries, something not enjoyed by the three increasingly dispiriting sequels to Richard DonnerRichard Donner's entertaining Christopher Reeve starrer."

Huh?

Can we just pass Variety (which of course is the "way too hip for anyone who hasn't actually worked in Hollywood" rag) the award for "longest stretch for cinematic comparion" in history? Yes, the Superman legend has its roots in Christian fare but trying to use that as a reason to mention The Da Vinci Code (they must get a royalty) and The Omen (a movie nobody is going to see) is a whopper.

They did like the movie, so I'm not berating them for that. I just think they sound like idiots.
