Arrested Development

Tambor basically sounds like Hank Kingsley, only talented.

Didnā€™t do himself many favours in that interview.

Michael Ceraā€™s probably really relieved he wasnā€™t at that interview

ā€œIā€™ve made a huge mistakeā€¦ā€

Thatā€™s a pretty grim read. Feels like none of the men are backing up Walter and just want to jump to Tamborā€™s defence, despite Walter literally being in tears. Good on Alia Shawkat for standing her ground though.

I expect this sort of crap from David Cross, less so from Tony Hale though :frowning:

Iā€™m still watching season 5, mind you.

That ā€œshe didnā€™t give it up for anybody elseā€ line looked bad written down, I thought it might make more sense as audio.

Narrator: he was wrong

So much of that is terrible, but this took the cake

BATEMAN: Not to say that you know, you [Walter] had it coming. Butā€¦

What a fucking shitty way to start any part of that dialogue. Thereā€™s a very distinct sense that AD is pretty much all the legacy that Bateman has and heā€™s determined to keep it clean. Fuck him very much in particular.

Listened to a really in-depth interview with Bateman at the weekend tracing back his whole career, it was the first time Iā€™d really seen/heard him out of character and he came across as someone very, very calculated and very self-preserving. I guess the child-actor to adult-actor transition can mess people up but I got the sense that he has learned how to PR himself so well that he appears very callous. Didnā€™t seem to be anything even remotely genuine about him from the interview and this seems a lot like someone trying desperately to maintain a veneer of respectability about himself and the show in a really, really badly misjudged way.

Good point. His niche is being an everyman, a bit like Martin Freeman, and to be accepted playing that character he has to come across as just a lovable, average guy. But the more you look into his background, the more you realiseā€¦ thatā€™s not really him at all.

Urgh.

So heā€™s essentially Michael Bluth

eurgh, thatā€™s pretty fucking grim. shame on all the men, fucking cowardly and pathetic.

I saw someone on Twitter pointing out that even on a season 3 episode DVD commentary the guys are pretty dickish towards Jessica Walter

Hmmmm
