“ii” As In Conjoined Dead Heads (Dead Heads Part 10)

Note the following in regards to a notable person recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site: 

Didier Decoin, 81, French writer and screenwriter (I as in Icarus, The Veiled Man, Out of Life)

• Didier Decoin (13 March 1945 – 5 August 2026) 

Note the “did die dire de/down coin” in his name, a cryptic  reminder of the recent “Dead Heads” series of posts— US President Heads on coins.  

And the first of his films mentioned above, “I as in Icarus”, stands out for two reasons.  First, last night I watched “The Devil Wears Prada”, where at one point in the movie, Icarus becomes the subject of a conversation between characters  (see below) , and secondly, the film stands out given the singling out of the letter “i” that connects to my previous August 2nd post: Hii Letter “ii”!!  I took artistic licensing with the films poster and added another “i”.

On venturing to the films wiki page, one of  the cast/crew stood out: 

Music by Ennio Morricone

He’s the only one whose first and last name are additions to the recent “Twin Letters in Name” pattern cluster.  Note from his wiki page: 

•  Ennio Morricone (10 November 1928 – 6 July 2020)

Note his date of death, and see my July 30th  post,Time Son, that includes the following: 

• Eugene Benson (July 6,1928 – July 29, 2026)  98, Canadian writer(death announced July 30, 2026)

July 6 surfaces again, expanding the cluster to a “July 6 (x11)” pattern cluster (see below excerpt from a recent post given background to the major cluster over the last couple weeks.

And so the cluster expands: “July 6 (x12)” pattern cluster. 

This excerpt from the films wiki page stands out: 

The film's plot is based on the Kennedy assassination

Since the word “coin” crops upp in the name “DeCoin”, I’m reminded of the three US Presidents who died on July 4th, and so I begin an investigation with that, and although each have a designated coin, I discovered that two share the same coin that is referred to as “conjoined heads” of Monroe and Adam’s: 

Conjoined heads of former presidents 
James Monroe and John Quincy Adams
 

Tail

The Monroe Doctrine Centennial half dollar was a fifty-cent piece struck by the United States Bureau of the Mint. Bearing portraits of former U.S. Presidents James Monroe and John Quincy Adams, the coin was issued in commemoration of the centennial of the Monroe Doctrine and was produced at the San Francisco Mint in 1923.0

For the record, note the following info: 

• Thomas Jefferson (April 13 [O.S. April 2], 1743 – July 4, 1826)
• John Adams (October 30, 1735 – July 4, 1826) 
• James Monroe  (April 28, 1758 – July 4, 1831)

On viewing their birthdays now, I see that Jefferson connects with Didier Decoin’s birthday 13 March 1945, generating a “__, March 13, April 13,__/ 13th Day, Month Sequence” pattern cluster. 

____________________________________________

In The Devil Wears Prada 2, the mythological reference to Icarus comes up during a comical and out-of-touch conversation involving the wealthy billionaire character Benji (played by Justin Theroux) while he is at a high-society gala on Emily's arm. [1]

The Icarus Reference Context

• The Sun vs. Mars Idea: Benji confidently shares an absurd grand vision that humanity should skip exploring Mars and instead send people to explore the sun. [1]
• The Spaceship Name: He casually mentions that he already has a name picked out for the vessel meant to fly to the sun: a spaceship he calls The Icarus. [1, 2]
• The Irony: When Emily tries to step in and remind him of the actual Greek myth—where Icarus flew too close to the sun and his wings melted—Benji completely misses the tragic irony and shuts her down
