"WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY HARD-BOILED EGGS?????!!!!!"

This is the best news I've heard in awhile. This has already been confirmed, but to continue to hear more and more about it just makes me smile. As reported in the NY Post this morning...
'ARRESTED' MOVIE IN 'DEVELOPMENT'
By MICHAEL STARR

June 25, 2008

A big-screen version of cult favorite "Arrested Development" is on the fast track.

Jason Bateman, who starred as Michael Bluth in the Fox sitcom, says an "Arrested" movie is being planned for next year.

"When it was on TV, if you missed one word, the whole third act could be blown for you," Bateman told the London Times.

"And TV is a different experience," he said. "You come home and you've got to finish a call so you miss the first ten minutes or you get snacky and you go to the fridge and you miss another two minutes.

"So it's a different experience to film."

"Arrested Development," which aired on Fox from 2003-2006, revolved around the quirky Bluth family and was narrated by Ron Howard (who co-produced the series).

It was never a ratings hit, but was a critical darling and developed a cult following.

The show also starred Portia de Rossi, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Will Arnett and Michael Cera ("Juno").

If the movie comes to fruition, it would be the latest in a long line of hit-or-miss big-screen versions of TV shows, including the just-released "Get Smart," a box-office smash with Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway in the roles originated by Don Adams and Barbara Feldon in the classic '60s series.

Other TV shows, including "The Wild Wild West," "The Mod Squad" and "Miami Vice," had a rocky transition to the big screen.

This is one of my all-time favorite shows. For a gauge my others are The Simpsons (though in the past 6 or 7 years it's been fairly lackluster considering what it used to be), The Sopranos, Seinfeld and quite possibly Dexter. If you have never seen this show, I can't stress to you enough how brilliant it is. Yes I know brilliant gets thrown around alot but this show deserves the title. There are only 3 seasons so go out and buy the DVDs. There are clever jokes twisted into other clever jokes which revolve around clever plotlines. The characters are about as sharply drawn as you can get. Ron Howard executive produces the show and he also narrates. Guess what? He's fucking perfect! The lore has it that he read a temp track for the pilot and everyone loved it. The rest is history. At least it is to the 53 people who actually watched the show. What other show on TV has roofies, the blue man group, christians, magicians, pot smoking, incest, afternoon delight, and the aforementioned hard-boiled eggs? If that doesn't sell you then check out the cast.By the way this show also wisely put Jason Bateman back on TV and cast Michael Cera before Superbad and Juno came out. Plus they hired David Cross.
