David Cross on ‘Arrested Development’ Movie

"It's not going to happen".
"I mean, there's so many people involved. Everyone's doing their own thing, you know. And everybody's aged. It's just not going to happen. I'm sure I speak for everybody when I say we'd love for it to happen, we'd love to work on it, but just I don't think... not going to happen."


Next year, after the movie has a release date, we'll all look back at the last 3 years of on again / off again movie rumors and realize that was the marketing plan all along. The way to keep the movie in the news every 2-4 months is for one of the cast members to be quoted saying something which contradicts completely the last cast member on record. Or else, the movie really won't get made and we'll all be sad.

I don't know how I missed this WWF ad campaign from the summer, but I also don't know how it took so long for someone to think of it.

Marshmallow Peeps Links

This article about a new Peeps related lawsuit, and this post on how to make Peepshi are as good a reason as any to repost my Peeps related research from last year: Marshmallow Peeps On the Internet – A Study. Follow that link to find 155+ different information sources about Marshmallow Peeps. An excerpt:



From Boing Boing, the (Masters of Internet Peepness), Mike Leavitt’s Anna Nicole Smith Rest in Peeps. Mike also did Barack Obama in Peeps. Other Peeps art can be found at David Ottogalli’s PeepsShow. It gets a little wackier at Skoozot Gallery and Fanpop Peeps, but Painting Each Day plays it a little straighter. And we mustn't forget Peeps photography. Pink Pickled Peep is one of the weirder Peep art pieces I saw, and if you’re in Milwaukee, you might remember Peep Show which hasn’t happened for years, but is apparently happening again this year? I just don't know what to do with these Motorbot Dunneeps, but they're so cute, as are these Peepachus.

I would call marshmallow Peeps 'the Bacon of the nineties' for the way they captured the hearts and minds of internet users everywhere. Both bacon and Peeps are bad for you and delicious, and for some reason, that makes the crazy things you do with them so viral. Much Traditional Media ink has been spilled attempting to chronicle the Peep phenomenon and none of it has gotten any closer to figuring it out than any of the more recent coverage of the bacon meme. You can view some of the attempts in Salon , The Phoenix, Slate, More Intelligent Life, and the New York Times. Here's a Brand Study of Peeps upon the brand's 50th anniversary, which was in 2003.

Nicolas Sparks Reimagines Well Known Movies

These are not movies you want to watch, these Nicolas Sparks books made into movies. And yet, they keep getting made. NPR imagined what would happen if 10 popular movies were written by Nicolas Sparks.

1. The Karate Kid: At the tournament, Daniel admits to Mr. Miyagi that he has been concealing the kneecap cancer that makes the crane kick so useful to him. Daniel wins the tournament, but then collapses on the mat dead. "Get him a body bag," says a Cobra Kai sadly. Daniel is carried out of the arena by a processional of Cobra Kai on one side and repeatedly bullied weaklings on the other. As he exits, Johnny says wistfully to his corpse, "You're all right, LaRusso. You're all right." The movie ends with a slow piano cover of "Cruel Summer."

Giant Plastic Island In The Atlantic, Too

Awesome. Just fucking awesome. As if the giant fucking plastic island in the Pacific wasn't enough, there's also a giant fucking patch of plastic in the Atlantic, too. For someone who hates sharks as much as I do, you'd think I wouldn't care. But I do, because these giant fucking islands of plastic and trash don't go away and we have no idea what they're going to do to ecosystem of the ocean, let alone the world.
The newly described garbage patch sits hundreds of miles off the North American coast. Although its east-west span is unknown, the patch covers a region between 22 and 38 degrees north latitude—roughly the distance from Cuba to Virginia (see a U.S. map).
