I have no problem with that.

I have reached s2 on my marathon! Arrested Development really does reward multiple viewings. The first episode of s2, "The One Where Michael Leaves", has a random "seal attack" reference in it. <3<3<3. Plus, you can totally see Oscar!George stealing the briefcase.


Also, in the special features for season 1, Jason Bateman and Will Arnett are kind of really gay for each other.

Freeze frame on newspaper article from "The One Where They Build a House": article starts off "Michael Bluth, whose stairs to his private jet are always at hand, doesn't care who he hurts. He's a two face womanizer who lives" and then it becomes unreadable, and laters turns to a bnch of boring repeating stuff about morticians.

"Nothing Creates the Illusion of Success like a Boat!"

Ahahahaha. "No, that's my brother! Brother-o! Brother-o!" See, it's funny, because he doesn't know the Spanish word for brother. Hee.

Eee, and the end with the "next time", there's a total trickiness where the camera goes from Lindsay to this blue portapotty when it mentions Tobias, and then goes to him in the diamond dust and black instead.

Other things: uh, the dialogue dubbing is seriously way obvious most of the time. And on second viewing, Michael is really kind of a big jerk.

Edited to add: You quaff the potion marked 'F/F'. It tastes like aeryn sun.

Arrested Development is the best show ever. The end.

SERIOUSLY.

I love how the most random plot developments are actually set up like six episodes in advance.

Oh, I can hardly wait for S3! August! CHARLIZE!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Oh, season 3! So close and yet so far!

I've always been of the opinion that Michael and Gob were pretty gay for each other, too.

Man, I love that show.

There is so much to love!

Hahahahaha, omg, dude, for serious. Is that the one that has the outtake where Will Arnett says his line and then it cuts to Jason Bateman, there's a beat, and Bateman whispers, "I am so in love with you"? Because that one KILLS me.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahaha NO I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT! I was thinking more of all the hugging and squeezing and innuendo how they do the thing where they almost kiss and then say they don't do that on camera, just in the trailers. Heeeeeee.

[annakovsky.livejournal.com]

Heeee, maybe that one is on the s2 extras, then! But dude, yeah, they are super gay! Arnett does the creepy hug and stuff too, with the neck cradling? Hahahahahaha. I like how the show makes Gob SUPER gay for Michael, too. Like the time when he hugs Michael and says, "If you feeling any movement, uh, down there, it's because of the dove in my pants." But then the dove is out walking around on the counter? SO DIRTY.

I just watched the s2 blooper reel and didn't see it -- I will have to watch all the features VERY CAREFULLY. Hee.

Also, I love how everything dirty and sick on the show is totally intentional. They talk on the commentary about how it's all even super dirtier to begin with, and they have to clean it down. <3<3.

Bateman says the "I'm so in love with you" thing REALLY quietly - like, I had to watch it about 5 times to figure out what he was saying. Which kind of makes it even gayer! Good work, Bateman.

Man, I heart the commentaries! They're so dirty, and they're all so cute and have so much fun with each other, and every time Will Arnett's onscreen, Jessica Walter says, "Oh, no one's handsomer than our Will" or something to that effect and I die of love.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha, Jessica Walter is like all sweet in the commentaries, talking about how handsome everyone is, and everyone else is like "yes, and Bateman was totally drunk during this scene, and Portia stole that dress from wardrobe." It's so awesome.

The TWoP interview with Arnett is really funny; Arnett talks about how much Bateman hates having his hair messed with. I said in my LJ several eons ago that whenever I see Bateman on a talk show or whatever, he's just arch (or something) enough that he pings my gaydar, just a little bit. And no, I'm not trying to start a rumor. *g*
