Almost as revealing as that thing with the waterwheel or whatever

One of life's great mysteries - at least for upper-middlebrow cinephiles who spend their days lurking on the web and exaggerating minor film-related questions into Life's Great Mysteries - has been the absence of a photograph of New York Times film critic Manohla Dargis on the Times' Movies page. What on Earth could possibly keep her mugshot from public display? A simple desire for privacy, perhaps, or possibly something more insidious. Was she diseased - leperous maybe? Or was it something something far stranger; indeed it left open the question, was she even human?

But like all life's enigmas, a resolution will eventually present itself.* Weird.
