Maple Leaf The Bluths are back! If you’ve been reading this site for a while, now in its third look!, you know how I feel about Arrested Development. Am still angry that people were too dumb to appreciate its brilliance. For years now, they’ve been teasing us about an Arrested Development reunion/movie/whatever. By Lainey • Oct 03, 2011 10:18 am
Maple Leaf What could this possibly be about? Michael Cera and Tony Danza were filmed going for frozen yoghurt today. …the f-ck? What could this possibly be about? Random sh-t, right?

Maple Leaf Michael Cera sucks And there is no pleasure in saying this. Because he’s supposed to be a sweet kid…when he’s not flailing his ego about and pissing on the movie version of the tv show that made him. But it’s true. Michael Cera’s Paper Heart ate it at By Lainey • Jan 26, 2009 06:59 am
