Today
is the 4th of May which means you will be forced to cope with this crap all day:
“MAY
THE 4TH BE WITH YOU!”
Yes,
the Star Wars fans and the wannabe Star Wars fans who are trying to show they
are clever will be out in force.
Out
in… force?
No,
I was not going for a Star Wars pun.
May
4th is also Cinco de Cuatro. In the 4th
season of Arrested Development, it was revealed that Cinco de Cuatro is a Newport Beach holiday started by
Lucille and George Bluth in 1982 as a way to destroy all Cinco de Mayo food and decorations so Lucille's Hispanic
staff wouldn't take May 5 off.
Also May 4th is the day that the 4th
season of Arrested Development drops on Netflix. Again.
OK, the 4th season of Arrested Development originally
debuted on Netflix May 26, 2013. The show’s
format was different with each of the
fifteen episodes focuses on one individual character. After I finally finished
my re-watch for seasons 1 through 3, I recently started on season 4. And it has
been challenging.
Two nights ago, I made it to episode 7 which was a spotlight on Gob. I gave up about 10 minutes in. Gob was my least favorite character in seasons
1 through 3 so the idea of spending a half hour focusing on him was not very
appealing. And 10 minutes in, I saw
little to change my mind.
Now I’m wondering if I should continue with this
experiment. Today, May 4th, Cinco de Cuatro, show creator and producer Mitchell Hurwitz
is releasing his re-edit of season 4 with
the story in chronological order. Ron
Howard recorded new voice-over material for the recut. The recut is titled Arrested Development
Season 4 Remix: Fateful Consequences which will re-shuffle the content from
15 individualized stories into 22 interwoven stories the length of the original
series .
In recognition that it is Star Wars Day, let me say, “I
have a bad feeling about this.”
Well, be it Star Wars or Cinco de
Cuatro, I hope you have a good May 4th.
Tomorrow is the first Saturday of May and you know what that means:
FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!!!!
