Two years ago, I made a rule that I wasn’t going to read anything or care about rumors about the always up-in-the-air Arrested Development movie until principal photography actually starts, yet somehow I still manage to read some new little non-committal tidbit about it every day. (My life is really hard.) Anyway, this one is actually worth watching: Michael Cera expertly avoids the subject with an either distracted or totally humorless MTV reporter, and denies that the AD movie even has a script yet:

The shredder line, especially his face at the end, totally reminds me of Gabe. (Also, my apologies if you get the CK One ad in front of this video. But haha: CK One still exists!)

    I don’t get why MTV (which is offensive enough as is) feels the need to be the public face of incessant reporting of non-news and badger the hell out of poor, poor Hollywood people. They’ve been annoyingly non-stop in their efforts to get info. on the “Dark Knight” follow-up.

  2. Worse, Lindsay. I got the Electro-Clash lite Christina Aguilera Target ad.

    where did you guys get that video of my boyfriend?

  4. Was anyone else distracted by the person in the background talking about Gilligan’s underwear?

  5. I really hope that Michael Cera is doing some Kaufman-esque level work where he is just totally messing with us because we are all so uber obsessed with Arrested Development and he thinks its funny to and knows that we’ll find it funny too upon finding out he’s ultimately just fucking with us. If he is doing this 1) its good press for the movie and A) I hope he commits throughout the process until the movie comes out and he’s in it and when we see him in it, we’re all like ‘awww, he got us’… yeah that

    • Or scenario B: Kaufman-esque humor backfires and they hire someone new or write him out of the movie, and when the movie premieres, he shows up to the red carpet looking disheveled and distraught, when interviewed, he looks directly into the camera and says “I’ve made a terrible mistake.”
      (You know, like the from show… –eh, I agree, that Cera is just messing with the fans).

  6. hahaha he said he loved doing it hahaha

  7. I’m surprised that more people aren’t worried about the possibility that an Arrested Development movie could be terrible. Personally, I think it’s totally unnecessary and I’d rather not see one. And good on Michael Cera if he’s the one who holds it up. I sense that he feels the same way.

      I’m not suggesting that you’re saying the movie will be like the horrible remakes of decades-old shows (“Bewitched”, et al.), but I think there are a handful of TV shows that have been canceled that immediately were talked about being continued/concluded in a film that could turn out to be really good films (“Veronica Mars” being another that comes to mind).

      I’d definitely want to see A.D. on screen before hearing that another Mike Meyers or Eddie Murphy “comedy” got greenlit.

  8. fuck this one note hack. i loved him on AD, but all his films roles have been self-conscious riffs on george michael. his career is going to go down the toilet pretty quickly if he thinks he can pull it off for much longer.

  9. Does anyone remember when George Michael tells Maeby he needs to buy leather motorcycle pants in case he needs to go into a “controlled slide?”

    God, my dick is so wet.

  10. Oh, hey Lindsay. No, no CK One ad here.
    Just NO VIDEO AT ALL. probably because I’m FROM CANADA.
    end the hate.

  11. Jackpot! CK One Ad! I felt like such a winner until the missus suggested we find a bottle.

    “So we can smell the same.”

    Does anyone know if they still make High Karate? Maybe if beat her olfactory receptors enough, I can drive her away.

  12. I lost- I got Herbal Essence.
    I don’t like it when my Michael is forced to hang around with all these insufferable tools. It sounded like Brody Jenner’s less charismatic clone interviewed him. I swear i heard a “homie” or “bro” in there somewhere.
