You know, Gob 2 just reminds me of how much better idiot asshole Ben Stiller is than straight man Ben Stiller. We need more idiot asshole Stiller.

Buster's Episode feels the weakest to me, but maybe I'm still just bitter they changed Buster's character so much from the pilot. I would have enjoyed the "Forever student with no real life experience" character over the mother's boy we got.
Also, what happened to Nellie?

Really hope Fantastic Four shows up.
I went back and rewatched the "on the next" part with the song a few times. But Shwartz hasn't put up the F4 song, ill send him an email and ask.

Cooool. We can't be the only ones that want it either. Hell, if these were full versions, even 90 seconds, they'd be so bought on iTunes or wherever if they went up. Sadly I don't think they'll do that.
Seeing how they are original tracks they should be able to get put up on iTunes without too much hassle thankfully.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I finished it up over the weekend, doing one episode per day. I loved it. I'm going to start a re-watch of the entire series (which I sort of just did, but fuck it) before going through it again.
I thought the first few episodes were kind of rough, and I didn't really care for GOB's first, but the rest were excellent. Watching them again will give me more of an appreciation for the rest, I think.

I keep not posting the link out of laziness, but you guys haven't discussed David Schwartz's AMA that really clears up the Getaway and soundtrack stuff. Getaway is going to be posted on the Netflix blog soon, according to Schwartz and of course the soundtrack is going to be nuts. The entire thing is worth a read:

Was watching the Fantastic Four (2005) movie yesterday, and all I could think to myself is "I'd sure like to get my rocks off with Jessica Alba"...Best part though, they showed AD S4 commercials a few times.
Six episodes in and I still feel largely the same as before.
Few of these characters, if any, are able to carry episodes by themselves. S1-3 thrived on a short scenes with rapid interplay among a few characters. In S4 scenes are longer and more drawn out. It's just not as entertaining.
Again, I like S4 but functionally I think tighter editing would have done well. But having more AD than less AD isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I've watched the first 11 episodes and I have to say this is awful. While there's maybe 1 or 2 chuckles per episode, overall it's not any good. The new episode structure is garbage, and there's too much focus on awful new characters or awful old minor characters. Here's hoping the George-Michael and Bustet episodes blow me away.

Holy crap that link was awesome. I love mentions to the Hermano song, as well as the Gothic Remix of Final Countdown. haha So good.
If Gob's 2 didn't those two won't

Sounds like Netflix could be on board with bringing more episodes instead of a movie. Not sure about this source though.
Heh finally found a pic of this, it was one fine egg:

Yeah, "Andale Hermano" is a standout song from the show. I don't think I ever realized how much original stuff they do.

Great interview thanks.
She does look better there. Gentlemen start your engines.
I like David Cross' "MAKE THE MOVIEEEE. MORE. MORE."
Its sort of like it ended on a perpetual state, you know, arrested development

Just finished the season and while the first half of it was kind of a drag, the last half was greattttt. That cliffhanger though...not sure how I feel about it. Next season/movie can't come soon enough!

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Wtf?
Netflix just uploaded a shit ton of videos of Ron Howard narrating random tweets.

Edit: He looks so tired in these, though.

Buster! Something's different about you.
Yes. I've been with a black woman.

Just started my first rewatch of Season 4 yesterday, and it's IMMEDIATELY so much better. Knowing who it is coming from upstairs when Michael says to GOB "I KNEW IT I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN IT!" was fucking hysterical.

Haha, brilliant. Ron narrated so much more this time around with the 32 minute episodes. Poor guy has to be still recovering.
After having watched both these episodes thrice, I love the Buster episode more each time, while Maeby, I like, but she's still on the bottom half of my favorites from this season. Although, Love her F bombs as Lindsey and Michael and Gob come into the penthouse and Model House. haha.
Oh my sweet Jesus what happened to Lindsay's face? Why did Ellen let Portia do that to her face?
It's also so jarring to see the characters look so much older (except funnily enough Lucille and George Sr.) while not that much time passed in the show. Although I guess Tony Hale and Will Arnett haven't aged that much, but the others sure have.

Get ready. People are going to tell you that nothing changed and that she was just wearing a wig in the earlier episodes and that it's throwing you off. She does look better in the later episodes, but maybe her early stuff was filmed later on after having her face hacked to shreds by a wood chipper.
I don't factually know what was going on there, but she looks inhuman at the beginning of the season.
I just now caught up on the show (only started watching about a month ago).
And at the end of her episode when she
cuts her hair
Really? I don't even think you need to be observant to notice how different she looked in episode 3. Perhaps it's because I just finished S3 today, but it's a huge difference nonetheless.

Yep that's how I feel. It would be so awesome if they could get the whole cast together (like REALLY together) for a final season. In the end I felt like the new format worked pretty well, but only for one season. I don't want to see that happen for the next season. It was great to see all the storylines come together, but it's time for a regular season.
I would of course take a movie over nothing, but I think it would feel disappointing.
