Two-thum^H^H^H^Hfingers-up Sigil


Using the standard alpha-bravo-charlie alphabet, find movies with names with
the word corresponding to the letter (preferably hilariously bad movies).
Note the release dates of the films; ensure they are all unique.  Cheating is
acceptable, as long as it's blatantly nauseating!  Then, subtract the earliest
release year and add one.


A sample is given below.

A Alpha		1972 #29 (Curse of the Alpha Stone)
B Bravo		1998 #55
C Charlie	2004 #61
D Delta		1997 #54
E Echo		2001 #58
F Foxtrot	1976 #33
G Golf		1987 #44 (Dorf on Golf)
H Hotel		1967 #24
I India		1984 #41 (A Passage to India)
J Juliet	1968 #25 (Romeo and Juliet)
K Kilo		2000 #57 (Kilometer Zero)
L Lima		1944 # 1 (The Climax)
M Mike		1952 # 9 (Pat and Mike)
N November	1995 #52 (The November Men)
O Oscar		1991 #48
P Papa		1999 #56 (Luna Papa)
Q Quebec	1951 # 8
R Romeo		1992 #49 (Cafe Romeo)
S Sierra	1948 # 5 (The Treasure of Sierra Madre)
T Tango		2002 #59 (Assassination Tango)
U Uniform	1993 #50 (I Love a Man in Uniform)
V Victor	1977 #34 (Victor Frankenstein)
W Whiskey	1949 # 6 (Whiskey Galore!)
X Xray		1963 #20 (X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes)
Y Yankee	1950 # 7 (The Magnificent Yankee)
Z Zulu		1964 #21


Then, arrange numerically into a 5x5 grid (the last element joins the center
of the grid):

+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| L 1 | S 5 | W 6 | Y 7 | Q 8 |
+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| M 9 | X20 | Z21 | H24 | J25 |
+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| A29 | F33 | V/C | I41 | G44 |
+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| O48 | R49 | U50 | N52 | D54 |
+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| B55 | P56 | K57 | E58 | T59 |
+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+


Using this to symbolize ERIS and DISCORDIA, we get these two symbols:

             ERIS:
+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
|       +++-\                 |
+     +  |  +=\   +     +     +
|        |     \              |
+     +  |  +   \=+     +     +
|        |        \-+++       |
+     +  |  +     +     +     +
|       +++\                  |
+     +     \=====\     +     +
|                  \***       |
+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+


          DISCORDIA:
+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
|       +++-\                 |
+     +    \+=\   +     +     +
|           \  \              |
+     +     +\  \=+     +     +
| +++========/+++==\+++\      |
+     +=====+     +     \     +
| +++/==+++==============\*** |
+     +     +     +     +     +
|                             |
+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+

Notice how this Discordia symbol could be triplicated, flipped, inverted,
and flipped and inverted to yield:
  _       _
   \_   _/
 ----- -----
 ---=- -=---
  _/     \_


Let's now overlap the edges.

  _     _
   \_ _/
 ---=*=---
  _/   \_

A sudden surprise---the double-arrow of Discord!  This was, actually, not
planned at all.  (An Erisian miracle?)
