This might not be super interesting, but I came across a guy who noticed that "Sandy Hook" is mentioned in the movie Pontypool, and believes that it's an illuminati in-joke referencing the incident that happened recently.

He could have taken the time to check that the real village of Pontypool has a real road called Sandy Hook, (and then he might have argued that the book - Pontypool Changes Everything - was purposefully set there when it was written 18 years ago as some kind of long running joke,) but what is ironic, is that the movie is about the law of fives, mind viruses, and making nonsensical links with language:

QuoteWhat does it mean? Well, Norman Mailer, he had an interesting theory that he used to explain the strange coincidences in the aftermath of the JFK assassination. In the wake of huge events, after them and before them, physical details they spasm for a moment; they sort of unlock and when they come back into focus they suddenly coincide in a weird way. Street names and birth dates and middle names, all kind of superfluous things appear related to each other. It's a ripple effect. So, what does it mean? Well... it means something's going to happen. Something big. But then, something's always about to happen.

I watched that movie twice trying to get something that, I think, was not actually there to be gotten. Interesting idea, though, even if the attempt to translate it to cinema fell a little flat.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"
