Arrested is Back and we're as happy as Tobias in a Roman Centurion Costume. Oh Arrested Development isn't quite as tight, the pacing is a bit off, there's too much dialogue and comedic bits run a bit too long, but it sure is great to see our Bluths back on TV.
Get your humidifiers ready to go by November 1st. Otherwise you'll endure several days of nearly sleepless nights in a row 2 weeks later before you figure out why you have insomnia. Yes, you're "really quick" at figuring this things out. Have fun at work today!
PS: Clean out your humidifiers in March next year. Seriously, that humidifier is gross.
PPS: Hopefully 4AM "impulse" purchases work well and you'll be sleeping well Tuesday night!
PPPS: To paraphrase Ron Howard, "You're really getting life lessons all over the place this week."
Sunday Sounds Aquarium Drunkard posted this clip of Dylan singing, "I can't leave her behind," in 1966 (Robbie Robertson is the other guy in the hotel room). This is the only known clip of this gorgeous song, I like to think of it as a companion piece to "I'm not There."
“Where she leads me I do not know, Well she leads me where she goes I can’t find her nowhere, Well, she needs me here,. All aware, I just can’t hear her walk, I just can’t hear her talk. Though sometimes you know you will. And when she comes my way, I’ll just be left any night or day, I will hear her say that I don’t wanna try, I tried also cried, But I can’t leave her behind.”

Michael Cera and Jack Black star in a Harold Ramis directed film (produced by Apatow) where they play two cavemen who stumble across Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel etc. Here's a clip with Cain and Abel (played by Paul Rudd and David Cross).
Development still Arrested??
Fox is entering cast negotiations for Arrested Development: The movie. The script isn't ready to go yet according to Ron Howard, and he continues to say, "Everybody is excited, but it’s not a ‘go’ movie When we really know what people’s schedules are, really know what the screenplay is, I’m sure Mitch will connect with everybody. Arrested may be my favorite television show ever, but well, I'm not sure if my expectations of this project will just leave me disappointed when the movie finally comes out.
Not to get anyone's hope up, but it sounds like talks are going forward for an Arrested Development movie. Jason Bateman told E,
"I can confirm that a round of sniffing has started," Bateman says. "Any talk is targeting a poststrike situation, of course. I think, as always, that it's a question of whether the people with the money are willing to give our leader, Mitch Hurwitz, what he deserves for his participation. And I can speak for the cast when I say our fingers are crossed."
Jason, I know my fingers are crossed too. E sources confirm the rest of the cast is on board and that the Creator of Arrested, Mitch Hurwitz, has been using his downtime during the Writer's Strike to come up with ideas for a script. So remember, Family First! and a little Chicken Dance while we wait in anticipation for hopefully good news about Arrested Development!
