FX

No particular reason for this, other than it’s cool. I love movies, and have seen a bunch of the films in this. But not all.

I have several of the early Georges Méliès shorts. Some of his effects still hold up well. Some don’t. But it’s all fun.

Come to think of it, I need to post some of his works. You might not care about it, but I’d enjoy it.

Random Thoughts: Ryu, Buzzwords, and the Flash

I hate writing. I like coming up with clever ideas and then sharing those ideas. Writing is the annoying thing in between.

I fully support the Skittles changing green to be apple flavored. Having both lemon and lime flavors is just lazy.

Lemon and lime are the Ken and Ryu of candy flavors.

It’s been more than 20 years since I first played Street Fighter 2, and I still have no idea how to pronounce “Ryu.”

I always pronounced it “Rye-u”, but I suspect that’s wrong.

This stream of consciousness was brought to you by Skittles… now with green apple flavor!

According to this article, the answer on how to pronounce Ryu is don’t if you’re not native Japanese.

Apparently it’s ree-Yoo, but one syllable and the ree is so faint that all the sound clips of pronunciations sound like someone just saying “you.”

Never got the Flash as a superhero. Running fast is a superpower so lame it rivals the powers of Aquaman.

Running fast would be a great superpower for a French superhero.
