The face Bateman makes after Tom Jan says "I just want my kids back" is the best moment in television history.

Classic.

anita Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 02:49 PM EST

i just want my kids back.

bob Mon, Mar 3, 2008 at 03:50 PM EST

sooo excited!!! this is great news!!! i blue myself before dinner so i could calm down!

colbea Wed, Feb 27, 2008 at 05:47 PM EST

I just started watching AD on Netflix. LOVE IT!!!! Can't wait for the movie!!!!

renton Wed, Feb 13, 2008 at 09:11 PM EST

wow this made my day!! it should take place after the final episode. Micheal will come back to the family because everyone knows how much he "needs" them, and now he can visit Lucille in prison and try to get the company back from Sitwell.

"Arrested Development" movie...Marry me!

Seriously, I'm not sure whether I should stand in line in my "Daddy Likes Leather" outfit now or wait a while to purchase tickets. I guess you can say i'm buy-curious.

Lynny Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 04:12 PM EST

Totally agree AA- the bleeps are classic and hearing the actual words would be so much less funny. I can't explain how happy this makes me!

AA Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 03:10 PM EST

But Martha, half the fun of AD are the bleeps!

Martha Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 11:25 AM EST

Whoo hoo! That tapping sound you hear is me dancing a little jig around my office. And the awesome thing about an A.D. movie is, unlike TV (and George Sr.) they don't have to worry about getting past the censors...sensors? ;-)

K Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 10:07 AM EST

I think that the PTB finally realized that... there is always money in the banana stand.

Chris G Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 09:19 AM EST

Like anyone would want to R her...

Amy Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 09:14 AM EST

Her?

Verity Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 08:40 AM EST

Screw the Emmy's! Arrested Development the Movie will go on to win the Oscar, and I'm not referring to Buster's uncle father ;-) Annie, this truly is the best news I've heard all week.

Liz M. Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 07:38 AM EST

Everybody's FAVORITE son!

Hunter Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 02:26 AM EST

Michael: "Get rid of the c-word..."
Lucille: "I'll leave when I'm good and ready!"

Little red Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 02:04 AM EST

Good gods but I miss this show. Best news ever!!

V.M.L. Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 01:48 AM EST

I WANT MY ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT BACK!!!!!

Sam Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 12:58 AM EST

Sorry would have written this comment earlier but was in my banana suit doing wheelies in the street on my Segway while shouting like a banshee! This is the best news I've heard in forever. This also makes up for cheating me a half a season of 30 Rock and The Office. Whoo-hoo!

And it goes without saying that along with the Bluths and the Funkes, the world's best attorney, Barry Zuckercorn had better be there. Just warning you now, Fox, I need my Barry!

ted Wed, Feb 6, 2008 at 12:58 AM EST

OMG! That would make me happier than lucille at a mother-boy convention. Such a great show and how in the world did Jessica Walter not win an Emmy for that?

e4ia Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 11:07 PM EST

I can't believe that Jessica Walter didn't win an Emmy for this role. All of the Academy members should have to watch this clip so they can be as tortured with their gross over-sight as I was when Fox cancelled AD. But boy would an AD movie help ease my pain... (heavy, face-lift struggling wink)

Burgernoodle Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 09:57 PM EST

this is the best news i've heard all year.

Cranky Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 09:35 PM EST

So glad that sweet old thing might get to the silver screen. So many favorite quotes...MB: What have we always said is the most important thing? GMB:Breakfast?

pai Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 09:30 PM EST

Wooooobleepin'hoooooo!

Rebekah Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 08:27 PM EST

Please, please, please let there be an Arrested Development movie. That show was the best. I was so mad when they canceled it, but a movie would be awesome.

Bella Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 08:26 PM EST

Reading this was so thrilling I nearly choked on my delicious english muffin!

PJ Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 08:17 PM EST

Hey, it was also Portia di Rossi's birthday--on the very same day as Jessica Walter. Give the gal some love.

Em Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 08:13 PM EST

Annie, I love this post. I really need this movie to happen now. Any word on who would be playing "Frightened Inmate #2"?

Cory Clay Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 07:51 PM EST

I'm not ashamed to go see this movie with you, I like seeing movies with you. I'm ashamed to be seen seing a movie with you!

TB Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 07:42 PM EST

Allow me to take off my analrapist pants for a second and say this news makes me feel all warm inside.

Steve Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 06:35 PM EST

I'm so happy I just blue myself!

Emily Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 06:24 PM EST

Finally!!!!! Didn't think this was ever actually gonna happen, but now you've got my hopes up! I definatley think AD has a bigger audience now that the DVDs have come out. And of course Michael Cera's current stardom won't hurt. Let's hope this movie actually happens!

MaebeTonight Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 06:19 PM EST

THIS WINS. WHY did they ever cancel this show. It makes no sense... (It's kind of like on a boat with "Women and children first." I mean, why should they...)

Sarah C Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 05:37 PM EST

My god, there are dozens of us! I'll heat up the Cornballer and make some cold bananas in delicious brown taste for the premiere.

Lauren Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 05:07 PM EST

I was just on Bob Loblaw's Law Blog, then I came onto Popwatch and saw this!

Does this bode well? I don't understand the question, and I won't respond to it!

(P.S. I'm still pissed at the Emmys for snubbing Jessica Walter in favor of Doris Roberts. WTF?)

Long Live The Bluths!!!!! Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 05:03 PM EST

BEST NEWS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ep Sato Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 05:01 PM EST

So long as they film a few scenes in Burger King and invite the Blue Man group to cameo, I'll be there in my nevernude shorts ready to party.

COME ON!

Raven_Moon Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 05:00 PM EST

I dreamed about this happening, but I didn't think that it ever would. I'm so excited!

I LOVE YOU ANNIE

J from VA Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:44 PM EST

Thanks for the clips. I think I'll be fired for laughing so hard in the office. I'll hire Maggie Lizer or Barry to sue for my job back.

Lisa Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:39 PM EST

Steve Holt!!!

Mrs. Featherbottom Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:30 PM EST

This post is better than a banger in the mouth. Oh right, I forgot, here in the states you call it a sausage in the mouth.
Annie has written the best post in popwatch history. GOOD FOR HER!

Emilee Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:28 PM EST

I can not wait.

h Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:23 PM EST

This is such a wonderful entry with wonderful news. That video brought back THE BEST BLUTH MEMORIES!!!

Carli Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:20 PM EST

God, I miss AD! What an awesome cast...but Jessica Walter was my favorite, so thanks for the vid!

Ceballos Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:16 PM EST

Maeby if they get this off the ground, they can concurrently film a low-budget, feature-length version of "Les Cousins Dangeroux" to snag the foreign film Oscar. I like the way they think.

RightNextToMars.Com Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:16 PM EST

ohmygodohmygodohmygod...this is the best news I've heard since I found out "The Man Inside Me" was available in paperback.

Stan Sitwell Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:06 PM EST

Yes, this blog entry was amazing, and yes, bring on the AD movie!!! And can we also start a petition for Annie to be allowed to write one AD popwatch a week regardless of whether it's in the news?

Rahul Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 04:03 PM EST

I really hope they make this movie. I hate Fox for canceling the series.

AA Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 03:44 PM EST

I'll start lining up at the theatre now. Please let there be a chicken dance in the movie!

Joan Tue, Feb 5, 2008 at 03:31 PM EST

THIS IS THE BEST ENTRY EVER WRITTEN ON THE POPWATCH BLOG. So many references!

What a fun sexy time for us!
