Arrested Development (or The Aesthetic Joys of Breakin’ The Law)
I can’t stop watching this shit. I downloaded the first season from SuprNova, then I got BSPlayer, then a bit of the old Xvid codec. Then I watched 12 –oh, wait, make that 13 - episodes in a row. Everything great you’ve heard and read is true. My new, comfortable chair isn’t making it any easier . . . but got damn. David Cross as a disbarred psychiatrist turned aspiring actor who wears cutoff jeans in the shower. Jeffrey Tambor as a white-collar inmate who converts to Judaism and releases a series of “Caged Wisdom” inspirational videos. It’s absurd and meaningful at the same time – not unlike, you know, The Simpsons. And after the Emmy’s, it looks like they’re actually getting renewed. Hoo-Ray!
Update(10:30pm): Make that 14 episodes.
Update(11pm): Make that 15. FUCK, I have reading to do.
Update(1am): Shit, I watched them all. And being unprepared in class tomorrow will be totally worth it.
