So so so-la-la,
I recently wrote one of these for Rob Lowe, and now I have decided to try this for Jason Bateman.
QATFYG:
Simply, which Jason Bateman role is the best?
In your eyes and in your truth?
Of course, I haven’t posted every single Jason Bateman role here, but you can pick yours if it is not on the list.

Is it weird that I want to say “Up in the Air?”
It was not the most dramatic, and it was the most powerful. In many ways, it felt like a wallflower role.
But in so many of his works, I feel I am sitting in front of the screen watching Jason Bateman in the movie. In UITA, I didn’t think for a second that it was him at all, and I will make that cheers.
Jason Bateman is probably my most favorite actor ever of all time of anyone. I completely head-over-heels adored him in Arrested Development, the greatest show that ever was. The End.
ReplyDelete@Really? I was convinced you would have picked Silver Spoons.
ReplyDeletei've never seen it!
ReplyDeletenah just messing.
ReplyDeleteI know you are an "Arrested Development" fan ...respect.
did you forget his amazing turn in DODGEBALL?!
ReplyDeleteJUNO JUNO JUNO

I love him too, but I need to watch more Arrested Development.
I definitely think Arrested Development. It is one of my all time favorite sitcoms, and watching Bateman get more and more frustrated with his family, but feel trapped and unable to abandon them, brings me much pleasure.
ReplyDelete@Jerome Thanks for the comment.
ReplyDelete@the rest of the world.
Read Jerome Wetzel's blog. He is pretty good at this stuff :)
WILL DO
ReplyDeleteArrested Development of course and "The Switch" actually was pretty good
