Incredible when you consider the conspiracy theory that Lam was a bio-weapon, & her decaying body literally tainted the water supply of the Cecil Hotel. #elisalam
From the 19th birthday of "the Toxic Lady" to her death: 4422 days
From the 19th birthday of Jennifer Connelly to the premiere of the original (Japanese) film DARK WATER: 4422 days
From the 19th birthday of "the Toxic Lady" to the mid-point of Elisa Lam's life: 1053 weeks
I finished watching the Netflix series CRIME SCENE: THE VANISHING AT THE CECIL HOTEL exactly 420 weeks after they found Lam's body.

nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/… Yet another film director—New Zealand's unsung B-movie king Geoff Murphy—has died in the 237th month after Kubrick's death. Films like the underrated THE QUIET EARTH and the enjoyable FREEJACK have been on my radar for a while. RIP! @CryptoLoren
In FULL METAL JACKET, Kubrick provided the voice for an off-screen character named 'Murphy.' In UNDER SIEGE 2, directed by Geoff Murphy, Kurtwood Smith plays 'Stanley Cooper,' seen here in the final shot of the opening credit sequence, with Murphy's credit floating above Cooper.
UNDER SIEGE 2 released in theaters July 14, 1995, while FULL METAL JACKET first received limited release on June 26, 1987—there were exactly 420 weeks between the two.
He was born on the 42nd day of 1936, & died an inclusive 999 weeks after EYES WIDE SHUT released, which was 666+666+666 weeks after THE SHINING released.
We can now calculate the exact mid-point of his life, which arrived on May 25, 1977 - the day a little movie called STAR WARS premiered.
Smokey and the Bandit—one of his most iconic roles—released two days later, 5/27/77, directed by HAL Needham.
Reynolds died 42 days after Kubrick's 90th birthday—another way of saying 90 is 10+50+30.
THE SHINING released 1053 + 42 days after STAR WARS released on Reynolds' mid-life day.
Now see this scene in the real Hot Tub Time Machine for stone-cold confirmation of The Trope (linking BEARS with TIME TRAVEL):
Note that The Bear appears exactly when Chuck D raps about 'the CIA,' (0:56) right in the middle of a homoerotic booze-guzzling debauch ritual that sends Rosemary's Baby / Malkovich Puppeteer (John Cusack) back in Time. Also note the MASKS of prominent USA Presidential Actors.
