Arrested Development

Hey everyone who liked this show:

The third season comes out on Tuesday.

I don't know who has been following the news of the show post cancellation, but it's running something like this: Showtime made them an offer to continue, and the creator of the show said he wasn't willing to do it. He did say, at the time, that he would be interested in doing a feature film. Tony Hale (Buster) and whatever-her-name-is (Maebe) have both said, recently, that the feature is still a possibility.

I'm strongly urging fans of the show to get out there on Tuesday and by the new season right on release day. High sales might cause Showtime to come back with a higher offer (which, rumours say, was a factor); high sales might also make the film more likely.

And it's bloody worth it. I really think the show is the funniest thing ever.

Get out there and buy it on Tuesday.

Best. Show. EVAR.

If i were rich, the first thing i would do would be to order 2 more seasons of episodes be created.

The characters are insanely good. The whole second season with the dad upstairs in the attic, when he's going crazy talking to the dolls and shit...and I can't get over George Michael. That kid's comic timing/delivery is amazing. Plus his girlfriend "Yam" rules. "She puts a hard boiled egg in her mouth and then squirts a package of mayonnaise in there! She calls it a Mayonnegg!"

But, yes, as Tom said, "Gob is everything a man should aspire to be."

Has the second season come out in Oz yet?

Yeah, But I downloaded it a long time before it did. Absolutely wonderful.

HERE HERE!

This would be on my list if I were someone like Paul Allen who restored this amazing theater in downtown seattle and saved it from the wrecking ball.

www.cinerama.com

That theater is incredible. I was able to see 2001:A Space Odyssey twice there in November 01 as part of it's very limited 70MM rerelease. The place is cathedral like.

Also included on my list would be to allow Terry Gilliam to make films, but this one is some what questionable after recent viewing of Tideland.

Co-financing another season of A.D. would be a worthy cause to throw GOBS of money at.

Oh, and hiring Rick and Karl to play at my apt. or a local club, mainly selected ambient and recent RiverRun pieces.

I'd say sales are going pretty good. I was in HMV today and season 1 is still #11 in their top DVD TV sales! Season 1 has been out for ages so that must be good.

why settle for the best, when you can have the rest... of.. me.
