Michael D. Ford (Me Too # Part 13)

The Deaths in 2018 site has recently added to its May 31st list:

Michael D. Ford, 90, English film art director and set decorator (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Titanic, The Empire Strikes Back), Oscar winner (1982, 1998)

The cryptic phrase found in his name, “Michael Ford(cross over)” and the film mentioned above, Raiders of the Lost Ark, have an interesting connection.  That “Raiders of the Lost Ark” is the first installment in the Indiana Jones film franchise , and this connects to Rob MacGregor, who I  reference frequently in this blog, including the very first one made on June 19, 2012.  And Rob is connected to Ford as the Adult Novels section of the  franchises wiki page explains in this excerpt:

Finally, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was published in May 1989, and was the first Indiana Jones book by Rob MacGregor.

If you venture to Rob’s web site, and to the section “My Indiana Jones Novels”, he talks about the 8 novels who wrote in the series.  And now note the following excerpts from my earlier post today, Tit 4 Tat (Me Too Part 11, note the following excerpts:

• William "Billy" Evans Midwinter (19 June 1851 – 3 December 1890) 

As for William’s birthday, the very first post in this blog was made on June 19!!  And THAT brings us back to the MacGregor’s.    

June 19... the day of the very first post to this blog had cropped up.  Now the “Michael” connection involves the contents of the post,  Censoring Around Michael Jackson's Death (RIIP), — namely the  death of “Michael” Jackson, and a “Michael” pattern-cluster that the MacGregor’s and I had been experiencing just before the “timely” death of Michael Jackson.

Note from Michael Ford’s wiki page:

• Michael Dickins Ford (1928 – 31 May 2018)

His middle name stands out... given that it breaks down into “dick ins”... and so an addition to the recent “Dick Theme” pattern-cluster.  Oh, and there’s a dick to be found among the cast/crew...

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Theatrical release poster by Richard Amsel

Richard Amstel designed the poster.  Note from his wiki page:

Richard Amsel (December 4, 1947 – November 17, 1985) 

His birthday is an addition to a cluster in my previous post, expanding it into a:

• “ December __, 3(x3), 4,__,  ..., __,13, 14, 15, 16,__, 18, ...,  21(x2), ..., __, 25(x3), 26/ Date Sequence” pattern-cluster.
