zombies kill god dead

Day of the Dead deposes The Passion of the Christ as king of the box office.

In a sense, this is like the end of Christianity destroying the beginning of Christianity, as the zombies of Armageddon de-throne the seminal event of Christ's death and resurrection. This points one towards Ouroboros, or the ancient symbol of a snake eating it's own tail, an iconic image used quite literally as well as structurally and thematically in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Coincidence? Two-twenty can practically hear the hoarse, centuries-old whisperings of Nostradamus, driven near-mad by the weight of the prophecy upon his tongue: "The dead shall rise from the earth to spit on the flayed corpse of the Son of God... The overall box office take for the top twelve will be $109.7 million, up 33% from the same weekend a year before... zombies will feast on the flesh of the Saviour... this will bring year to date box office revenues to $1.8 billion, up 3-4% over last year at this time." Must have been kind of confusing at the time, but thankfully it all makes sense now.

If you live in New York, and would like to show your support for the flesh-eating living dead in their final battle against all that is good, godly and wholesome in the world, consider showing up in Union Square on Wednesday evening for this event.
