NY Times Hails New "Voodoo Pope", Zombies . . .

A new "voodoo pope", so to speak.

Time to stock up on sacramentals, I suppose.

And, for the record, is it me or is the New York Times speaking out in support of zombies here?

The movie industry is another focus of Mr. Beauvoir’s wrath. And he speaks as something of an insider, having helped the anthropologist Wade Davis with his investigation of voodoo, which first became a book, “The Serpent and the Rainbow,” and later a Hollywood movie. On the big screen, zombies are scary monsters, Mr. Beauvoir complained, and not the carefully controlled subjects of voodoo science that he believes them to be.

Zombies always get a bad rap . . .

“The voice of Hollywood has grown beyond the border of the United States,” he said. “It’s everywhere. The voice of Max Beauvoir is very small compared to that.”

Amen to that, Mr. Beauvoir. Amen to that.
