Movie Award Shows and Cryptokubrology

The movie awards season begins on January 6, 2019, with the Golden Globes. I wonder how Stanley Kubrick will be involved. At the British Academy Film Awards on February 10, 2019, the link is quite clear: The Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film is bestowed.

Do you recall the Overlook Hotel ad during the 90th Academy Awards, in 2018?

"Creepy scenes play off plot points from [The Shining], including a hotel manager inspecting a door that’s been shattered to smithereens (from an axe by the looks of it). The faux spot faux-wraps with the number (833) 888-0237....The true advertiser [was] the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, a new museum dedicated to the art and science of movies that will be opened in Los Angeles in 2019 by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (which runs the Oscars)." Source.

Will Stanley Kubrick be remembered overtly or covertly at the movie award shows, such as the Golden Globes, British Academy Film Awards, the Independent Spirit Awards, and the Academy Awards?

This is the 20th anniversary year of the release of Eyes Wide Shut and the death of Kubrick (1999).

#Cryptokubrology is alive and well, and people are thinking about the "twilight language" that Kubrick left behind for us to ponder...all the time.

If you haven't seen the following YouTube selection, take a moment to watch it (with the sound on, as the music is beautiful):

Will Cryptokubrology haunt the memorials?

The Golden Globes usually do a memorial reel to recall those who died during the last 12 months. Will R. Lee Ermey be included?

The first major cast member of Full Metal Jacket (Stanley Kubrick, 1987) who died was R. Lee Ermey. He was nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Supporting Actor for his role in that movie. Born March 24, 1944, Ermey passed away on April 15, 2018.

Will you be watching? With your eyes wide open?

Top Synchromystics of the Year 2018: Jim Brandon and Alex Fulton

Joe Turkel in 2019

Three Nicknamed Celebrities Die on January 2nd...and Joe Turkel in 2019

Will 2019 make people lose their minds in the sync world? It is starting off fast and furious.

On January 2, 2019, the death of three Caucasian male celebrities - each of whom used "nicknames" - each of who died at the age of 76, all occurred on the same day.

"Fans notice 'spooky pattern' of celebrity deaths," writes Yahoo Australia, and a tweet alert about the story flashed across sites like The Anomalist.

"Super Dave" (Bob Einstein), "Mean Gene" (Okerlund), and "Captain" of "Captain and Tennille" (Daryl Dragon) died on Wednesday, the second day of the year.

Einstein was born Stewart Robert Einstein in Los Angeles, on November 20, 1942. He is the older brother of actor and comedian Albert Brooks (born Albert Lawrence Einstein), and the younger brother of Cliff Einstein, a retired advertising executive. Einstein created the goofy stuntman Super Dave Osborne character.

Okerlund was born Eugene Arthur Okerlund in Sisseton, South Dakota, on December 19, 1942. Okerlund was given the nickname "Mean Gene" by Jesse "The Body" Ventura.

Dragon was born Daryl Frank Dragon in Los Angeles, on August 27, 1942. Dragon's familiar image and stage name came from his time as a keyboard player with The Beach Boys from 1967 to 1972. Beach Boys lead singer Mike Love gave him the nickname "Captain Keyboard," and it stuck; Dragon began wearing a nautical captain's hat to go along with the name.

All were born in '42 and, all were thus 76: 7 x 6 = 42. Daryl Dragon died 237 days before his 77th birthday. H/T #AlexFulton (@Cryptokubrology on Twitter) and Ronald Christopher Walker.

Some cryptokubrology notes...

Was the last #Cryptokubrology death of 2018, the passing of Herb Ellis (1/17/1921-12/26/2018)? Herbert Ellis, born on January 17, 1921. He was in Kubrick’s The Killing (1956) and in Paths of Glory (1957).

Joe Turkel, who is still alive, was also in Paths of Glory. Turkel, it may be recalled, was "Lloyd" in The Shining (1980). 

Will 2019 be a key year for Joe Turkel (born 7/15/1927)? 

Turkel played "Tiny" (The Killing, Stanley Kubrick, 1956), the doomed "Private Arnaud" (Paths of Glory, Kubrick, 1957), "Lloyd" (The Shining, Kubrick, 1980), & Eldon Tyrell (Blade Runner, Ridley Scott, 1982).

December 7, 2018 is here. 

I be on the lookout, my droogs, for heavy bezoomny #cryptokubrology action going down on the last day in the 237th month since Kubrick snuffed it. Have the #KubrickStare set with a lacty-free Moloko toast (sans Vellocet) at ready.

For some earlier background, see "Crytokubrology: Syncing Deaths." (h/t Alex Fulton)

Followup: Alex Fulton (@Crypto-kubrology on Twitter) posted late on 12.7.2018, these items (I am @CryptoLoren on Twitter):

"The Final Stand Against Thanos Begins in the First Trailer for Avengers 4"This is it @CryptoLoren—the long-awaited trailer for AVENGERS: ENDGAME released exactly 237 months after Kubrick's death—"ending" a month which saw the death of (among many others) Marvel mastermind Stan Lee, born exactly 2307 days before Stanley Kubrick.

"I don't know why it works, I just know it works. #cryptokubrology #midpoint #zenosparadox"

 

"Compare to INFINITY WAR, which released 4/27/18 or 999 weeks after Kubrick died (in 1999). If you check out these graphics I did last year, you see several incredible Crypto-K alignments regarding other Marvel films & crucial historical moments."

"The movie will in all likelihood involve the use of 'time-travel' to defeat the 'ultimate nemesis' Thanos. It will close the first chapter of the wildly successful Marvel Cinematic Universe masterminded by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby."

I posted this: "Endgame is the Beginning. Ant-Man is the key to open the door. Eemya Eegra = Name Game. Now the interim 12.8.2018-4.26.2019. @cryptokubrology #Cryptokubrology @MrPeytonReed ~ @CryptoLoren"

Forthcoming The Crow Producer Samuel Hadida Dies

Samuel Hadida, with over 70 producing credits, including the Resident Evil franchise, dies unexpectedly at 64, in Santa Monica, on November 27, 2018.

Who is in the background of this photo? Ridley Scott?

Born in Morocco, Hadida and his brother Victor have been credited with bringing popular American movies such as Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, David Fincher’s Seven and martial-arts pics starring Jean-Claude Van Damme to French theaters in the 1990s. Hadida was also well-known for his collaboration with Tony Scott (died August 19, 2012) on True Romance and Domino, with Constantin Film on the Resident Evil franchise, and with Christophe Gans on Silent Hill.

Hadida, his brother & father are cofounders/coowners of Metropolitan FilmExport (American indie distributor).

Please note Samuel Hadida was the lead producer of the reboot of The Crow, allegedly starrring Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones, Aquaman) - although rumors are Momoa has withdrawn from the project. Sony announced on 11/18/18 that they’ve set the new Crow movie release for 10/11/19. Hadida died suddenly on 11/27/18. 

Hadida's death continues the die-off of major directors, writers, and producers during the 237th month since Stanley Kubrick's death. See Cryptokubrology: Syncing Deaths.

Cryptokubrology: Syncing Deaths

Cryptokubrology can sometimes overtake events. It appears obituaries are doing just that in recent days.

As I have noted before...

Cryptokubrology has been defined as "digging through the works of Stanley Kubrick on the premise that its body is a muted mass of coded cabalistic ministrations comparable (in scope) to the works of William Shakespeare, but incomparable (in complexity) to anything in recorded history. In fact, Cryptokubrology has led to an entirely different view of so-called 'history' itself." Source.

Cryptokubrology: "A useful methodology for deconstructing cinema, history, and synchronicity." ~ says Alex Fulton, January 31, 2017.

In November 2018, I and others, including Alex Fulton and Media Monarchy, began to notice the deaths of individuals linked to Stanley Kubrick and/or his films.

The first big obituary we all started exchanging notes about was of Douglas Rain. He died at the age of 90, on November 11, 2018.

Rain, who was a founding member of the Stratford (Shakespearan) Festival of Canada in 1953 and was a stage actor until 1998, will be remembered for his association with Kubrick. Rain provided the voice of the HAL 9000 computer for the film 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and its sequel, 2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984).

Then the death of Stan Lee happened the next day. Stan Lee (born Stanley Martin Lieber, December 28, 1922), the iconic cofounder (with Jack Kirby) of the Marvel Universe, died at the age of 95, on November 12, 2018.

Alex Fulton passed along a graph of the relationship of dates between Lee and Kubrick.

Fulton pointed out that Stan Lee was born exactly 2037 days before Stanley Kubrick was born and died in the 237th month after Kubrick died, the day after Douglas Rain who voiced HAL died. Cryptokubrology was visiting the dying.

Within four days, word came that another "Kubrick alumni has passed in the 237th month since Kubrick's death — RIP Pablo Ferro (1/15/35 - 11/16/18)," shared Alex Fulton on social media. Ferro was 83.

Pablo Ferro was an American graphic designer, film titles designer, and founder of Pablo Ferro Films, who had been born January 15, 1935, in Antilla, Cuba. He had created the powerful and influential title designs in Kubrick films Dr. Strangelove and A Clockwork Orange, as well as others, such as Being There, Bullit, and The Thomas Crown Affair.

The same day that Ferro died, another prominent figure in films passed away. William Goldman, born in Chicago on August 12, 1931, died at the age of 87, November 16, 2018.

Goldman was an American novelist, playwright, and screenwriter, and won two Oscars for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) and again for All the President's Men (1976). He is also recalled for Marathon Man, Wild Card, and The Princess Bride.

Goldman's book Which Lie Did I Tell? mentions:

I once met Stanley Kubrick and we got to talking about what he hoped he would do next (alas). Napoleon, he said. I asked what part and this was his reply: "Everything. I want to do the whole sweep of a man's life."
Problem: movies don't do that well.
I would love to know how Kubrick would have attacked the problem.

Stanley Kubrick, the revolutionary, uncompromising movie director, died in his home outside London early Sunday morning, March 7, 1999. He was 70. He only made 13 films in his life. He delivered Eyes Wide Shut right before he died suddenly.

Alex Fulton shares another tidbit:

Eyes Wide Shut released on the 30th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing and the same day JFK Jr. died—this was exactly 15300 + 153 + 153 days after the Burning Secret script date. What was Kubrick's burning secret?

This all brings me to nearly 11.22.18. Who might be the next "Kubrick" alumni to make a big sad impact on Hollywood?

It could be anyone. But this name came to mind. As well as another.

Douglas Huntley Trumbull (born April 8, 1942) is an American film director, special effects supervisor, and inventor. He contributed to, or was responsible for, the special photographic effects of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Blade Runner and The Tree of Life, and directed the movies Silent Running and Brainstorm. He is the son of Donald Trumbull (May 27, 1909 – June 7, 2004) who created visual effects for the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz as well as later movies including Silent Running and Star Wars.

Producer James B. Harris, who turned 90, on August 3, 2018, produced the early major Kubrick films - The Killing, Paths of Glory, and Lolita.

Bernardo Bertolucci

Another great director, writer, filmmaker has left us in the 237th month since Stanley Kubrick's death—Bernardo Bertolucci (March 16, 1941 – November 26, 2018). The Last Emperor, The Dreamers, The Conformist, more. R.I.P.
