Yup, I'm slipping

So I promised to try to do a post like every Monday. It's Thursday now and how long has it been since my last post? Yeah, this post is basically to apologize for that. Oh, also, if you look up "insect" on Wikipedia, you can see a GIF of a bee taking a leak. For reals.

Recovering from Heroes

Heroes was a pretty cool show. It got me watching tv that wasn't cartoons. The idea of a live action series involving people with super powers was sweet. It was cool that the people with powers all came from different walks of life. There was an artist, a teenage cheerleader, a nurse, a police officer, and a woman who made web cam videos. Like, adult videos. Ever hear that song that's like, "What would you do if your son was at home, crying all alone on the bedroom floor cause he's hungry, and the only way to feed him is to, sleep with a man for a little bit of money..."? I'm getting off topic. That show was pretty sweet because it had all of the super powers that are standard in comics. You know, super speed, mind reading, flight, ect. Even though it certainly was "inspired" a lot by X-men and the story in Watchmen, it was entertaining. Here's what was sweet:

Hiro Nakamura - Japanese geek who gets control over space and time. Seriously, who would enjoy powers more?

The Company - An organization made to keep people with powers from running amok. They have pairs of a regular and a super powered agent. Best team is Noah and a man known as The Haitian.

It was on Mondays - No one really looks forward to Monday. This show helped you start off the week.

Any downsides to the show? Nothing is perfect. The character Angela Petrelli was so annoying and completely worthless to the show. Claire Bennet takes the same route. I don't want to go into these characters further because it will just make me upset.

Heroes lasted four seasons but I only watched the first three (see above for why). I still like the idea of a live action series concerning super powers. Where was I to go? I eventually started watching Tower Prep.
Tower Prep is about a school where kids with powers are a taught how to use them. They are trapped at the school and it's all mysterious and junk. I watched it for to long just hoping that it would get better. It didn't. Super power high school is not cool. All of the powers seemed less combat-friendly. There is a girl who has an extreme sense of taste. Glad I'm not her. Seriously, that power is lame. Very rarely will I opt not to have a super power. I don't really feel like going too much into this show because, overall, it's not that impressive.

Heroes made a void that in the end, even itself couldn't fill. I've given up on live actions super power series. Good thing they came out with that new Avengers cartoon.

The next post

When will the next post happen? What will it be about? You don't know and neither do I. I have such big plans for the site and yet such a small budget. Not to mention I also don't have the most time on my hands. You've all heard this before. All I ask is that you be patient. You're probably better off forgetting about the site for a really long time. That way, when you remember, there will be a lot of stuff to look at.

Back to business. I need to actually have some content in this post. I don't know what to say. I'm just gonna wing it. If I have a thought I'll type it.

Chili powder on potatoes is never a bad idea.

When is the world going to realize how awesome Steve Zahn is?

I wonder if there is a correlation between how smart your dad is and how bad you are at sports. I figure my dad would be smarter.

I feel like the "@" symbol isn't all that much faster than writing "at."


Ok, enough of that crap. I'm gonna try, you've heard this before, to do a post a week. I can't guarantee a post, but I'll work to give you something. Look for them on Mondays. Peace out.

Strange AOL ad

After No-Post-August and half way through September I thought I would grace the blog again. I can't stress enough, big things are going to happen for this blog. What's holding it back? Money. I have other things that require the money I make so the advancements to the blog have been taking a backseat. Be patient. If you're still viewing.



On to the post. I came across this ad when I was checking my AOL e-mail. I have multiple e-mail addresses. I'm not bragging, I'm just stating a fact. So this is what I saw. If you want a bigger image just click the pic. AOL's safety toolbar makes it safe for the little ones to surf the web. That must be why that little girl is so happy to browse the internet. Maybe she's looking at The World of RC4. Probably not. She's probably on Facebook. She is a girl after all. There is something wrong with this ad though. Look at the mom. She seems real pissed off about something. Why is she upset? Is it because the girl can now hog the laptop all the time? What reason does she have to be upset in this ad? Was it intentional? I know in my twisted mind the dad was asking if it was ok to invite someone extra into the bedroom. That would give her plenty of reason to be mad. Look at him. His posture and look on his face just screams, "Come on, baby." Whatever it is, a love triangle or content filtering, she ain't interested.

No Pic Post

If anyone is still following "The World of RC4," I have an announcement: I'm shutting it down. Nah, I'm just kidding. On a more serious note, posts are going to be few. I got big plans for the blog but they are going to take some time. Now on to the post.

Just a small thing here. I had a chicken cutlet sub. Later I had a cookie dough twisted frosty at Wendy's. Now I'm burping and the taste is so weird. A little gross for a little post. Bye.

My Shorts!

Yeah, this is a post about my shorts. Not all of them mind you, just one pair. They are brown. At first I was like, "Brown shorts? Whatever." But I've grown to like them. I swear this post gets more interesting.

My shorts are by the company Ezekiel. They like to use numbers and backwards numbers to look like letters because they are cool. Not really, but I digress. Above is their current logo. Lameness of their font aside I think it's pretty cool. A bear and a star. Not too bad. Below you can see their old logo.
This picture is from the actual pair of shorts I mentioned earlier. Instead of a bear, the logo has an eagle. Still cool I guess. I'm gonna take a break for a second to give a shout out to my sister. She shall be called JC3. So JC3 gave me her camera and now I can fill the blog with exciting pictures of shorts and things that aren't shorts too. So yeah, back to the logo. It's an eagle but I always thought about vikings when wearing the shorts. Why is that? You'd have to see the logo from my perspective, as if you were wearing them.
Looking down at the symbol you can't tell me that doesn't look like a viking. Crazy! Was that intentional?

A post

It's been almost a month since my last post. I said I would be trying to do a post a week. Do you feel neglected? Have I been neglecting you? Yeah. I have. Too bad for you. I don't need you. Who puts in all the work on this blog? Me. Who comes up with unique points of view and interesting topics to discuss? Me. I'm doing everything here and you have the audacity to feel neglected? I don't have to impress you.




I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Come back, I didn't mean it. Without you there is no RC4. It's all about you. That's why I do this. Don't leave me!

Now that that's over with, let's do a movie review. From the 80's!

Coming out in 1984, The Last Starfighter's premise is simple. A video game is made to simulate piloting a real ship. A guy named Alex who beats the high score gets brought by an alien to a space station so he can pilot the real thing. All the other pilots die and therefore he becomes "the
title." I mean, "The Last Starfighter."

I would assume that a movie like this would be something I could really get into but I found it to be sub-par. The acting is acceptable from an 80's perspective. The concept is so good that at this point in time it would be considered cliche. I also thought the music was great.

When it comes to sci fi movies, arguably the most important aspect is special effects. I'll sit through a movie with a story I don't feel like even following (Chronicles of Riddick), with characters I don't care about (Chronicles of Riddick), played by actors that don't impress me (Chronicles of Riddick). If it looks as good as say, I don't know, Chronicles of Riddick, then I can overlook everything else. But RC4, this movie was made in the 80's. My response is that Star Wars was made in the 70's. Star Wars looked way better and it was made before. No excuses.

A really cool aspect of sci fi movies is the aliens in them. The Last Starfighter fails completely. It's got these cool octopus guys that love to fight. Sounds awesome, right? There are only two and they both die. Not so awesome. The bad guys have some cool aliens that look like brown rock reptile guys. They also have interstellar hitmen that look kinda cool. The good guys, post-cool octopus guys, get the short end of the stick. They got Centauri who looks like a human unless he takes his face off which only happens twice, Grig who looks somewhat like a humanoid anklyosaurus who has a cooky personality, and a whole mess of people who have receding hairlines. Even the women. Lame. Just Lame.

There are typical 80's attempts at humor. Some are really funny. Some are not. The concept of an old lady with a shotgun never made me laugh. The little kid who has a bunch of Playboys got me think more of "how did he get those?" and "what is his mom doing about this situation?" Oh, By the way. The kid sees his brother and his brothers girlfriend kiss and then says "diarrhea" in disgust. In a later scene he is looking at a Playboy. Either he is an innocent little kid who still thinks girls are icky or he is a perverted little kid with a stash of porno mags. Pick one or the other.

All in all, I'm glad I did not ask for the movie on DVD. I really want to watch Chronicles of Riddick for some reason.
