Curio: Film Devotionals

Alexa here.  This Easter/Passover time of year is always replete with biblical references; for me, most are tied to film.  For instance, my main understanding of the significance of Passover is through my repeated childhood viewings of The Ten Commandments.  As one of the heathen mob, I am more likely to light a candle to mourn the loss of Ryan Gosling from the screen than ask saints for intercession. Religious or not, I thought TFE readers would enjoy some curios that aid in the practice of film idolatry, like these devotional candles from this etsy shop.

Who would you light a candle for this year?

More false idols including Tim Burton, Steve Buscemi and The Avengers after the jump... 

For the Tim Burton follower, this window designed by Paul Sedgwick.

Saint Buscemi print, available here.

V for Vendetta stained glass window by Robie Lawlace.

Imperial saints prints, available here.

Avengers window print, available here..

Which film god or goddess are you most likely to worship?

The candle on the far left is *TERRIFYING.* Oh wait, it's Nicolas Cage. Of course it is.

I would love to see a stained glass window of "Nomi Malone" (Elizabeth Berekley) licking the pole for Showgirls! HA

LUCY -- omg. what a brilliant idea. i could go for that too. The room it's in would really have to deserve it though.

Lordy, where's the Barbra stained glass window? Talk about missing out on a potential market!

Ellen Ripley obviously.
