Waiting for the economy to get even more Gothic

Jim Kunstler is wondering what the next phase of the economic crisis will look like, and sees Gothic.  He starts with the new movie, Zombieland:

If a zombie virus is on the loose in America, the first infections showed up in the zombie banks, among the zombie bankers. Watch out, Lloyd Blankfein!  Woody is on his way....

Then its on to a riff on terrorism:

The kind of heinous acts that we have feared emanating from foreign "evildoers" since the awful stunt of 9/11/01 are now most likely to come from among our own "people" - a few pounds of Semtex in the lobby of Goldman Sachs's New York headquarters... a few men with market-grade small arms converted to full-automatic outside on the Wall Street sidewalk one evening at holiday time when the suits are leaving work for the day.... It won't take much.

I haven't seen Zombieland myself.  Any recommendations, Infocult hordes?

Reading Kunstler's article I don't see him successfully drawing a connection from "people are pissed off" at wall Street to Zombieland.
I saw Zombieland last night. It is one of the funniest films I have seen in a long time, and has a genuinely romantic component to the plot that makes it, in all seriousness, a "date movie". A very, very fun movie. Review forthcoming.

Sounds good, Steve. Definitely the sort of date movie for Ceredwyn and I.
