I found this brilliant 'paper' by kenda Creasy Dean entitled, Somebody Save me: Passion, Salvation, and the Smallville effect .... It's along the lines of the talks she gave in the UK last year but if you didn't see her then I highly recommend this reflection on Smallville, Thirteen and the ensuing theological reflection on the search for a saviour. Awesome!
BTW, I still haven't managed to see the film, Thirteen! Should I?
er... I'm not sure it's quite your cup of tea! It's an 18! Someone I know wasn't sure _I_ should watch it and you're more delicate than me in these matters!!!!
great paper, actually she lectured some of this in australia about a year and a half ago... i still have the mp3s somewhere.
