AAAAAAH! YOU GOT ME AGAAAAAAIN!
“This is the story of a wealthy family and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together.”
It’s Arrested Development. THE MOVIE.
And it sounds like it’s really going to happen—back in December, Keith Olbermann practically peed his pants when Jason Bateman mentioned the possibility of a post-writers’-strike Arrested Development movie, and suddenly it’s up on IMDB, with a cast and directors and all those things that point to movies being made. And since, you know, IMDB is the source of all things true and just in the universe, I think we’re safe to assume. The Bluths certainly would (only to have it blow up spectacularly in their faces, but we’ll ignore that part of the story and just practice our Mexican chicken dance instead).
Where the movie will pick up is unclear, and troubling only for those of us who love George Michael (though, really, does anybody not love George Michael?). Michael Cera isn’t eighteen going on puberty anymore. Do we now have George Michael Bluth, College Man? And what about Maeby Funke? Now she can go around saying “Marry me!” and mean it. We at CH aren’t too worried. Have the AD writers steered us wrong yet? Mrs. Featherbottom says, “No, dearies!”
So, readers, let’s hear it: What’s your favorite Arrested Development moment? Feed us the lines that make you shake with helpless laughter in the middle of meetings at work (just me?). Let’s see the videos of your GOB magician dance (again, just me?). Share the appallingly hilarious love.

“He threw what he thought was her favorite toy at what he thought was her car.”
“Come on!”
“I just blue myself!”
“Hey, brother.”
“Caw caw caw, caw caw, caw cawwww!”
Oh, AD. I love you. I hope this is true!!!
