The decadent Diablo Cody recently stated, “I, too, loved Arrested Development! Aren’t we a pretty pair of cultural mavericks? Hey, let’s go bitch about how Black Kids are overrated!” Let’s do just that, but I was thinking more along the lines of, well, everything is overrated. When “Arrested Development” went off the air, that was pretty much the end of me attempting (and usually failing) to catch a television program. Hell, I cannot even muster up the willpower to truly become addicted to The Summer Glau Sarah Connor Chronicles. Why bother if something is just gonna get yanked away eventually? Still, I do pine for “Arrested Development,” and it’s all about the G.O.B., baby. Will Arnett was so damn devastatingly lucid in that role, and, indeed, the character of George Oscar Bluth II really hits home: “He has no significant real world experience–despite being over thirty years old–so he uses magic and trickery as an outlet.” The key difference between G.O.B. and myself (just a writer, bitches) is that I have the experience and just choose not to use it. That’s not much difference at all, really. Sigh… one day, I shall learn. In the meantime, I found a video clip of (Will Arnett as) G.O.B. visiting “Sesame Street” to perform a few “magic” tricks. Whee! Worship at the altar below the cut:

[...] Diablo Cody gets with Will Arnett [...]
pretty much over diablo cody and her “I’m justifiably bitchy” act but G.O.B. will never go out of style.
“They’re pills that create a sort of temporary forgettingness. So if somebody finds out how you do a trick, you just give ‘em one of these, and they forget the whole thing. It’s a mainstay of the magician’s toolkit, like how clowns always have a rag soaked in ether.”
