I am not an otaku. However, growing up watching Japanese animation and actually working at an anime magazine for a while has given me a strong appreciation for anime and manga, and I still try to keep up with what's going on in that world. So when I found out they were making a live-action adaptation of the popular anime Dragon Ball, which comes out this weekend, I paid close attention to what anime fans -- meaning my bitter, frequently drunk otaku friends -- were saying about this movie. Now that it's here, I figured I'd run down some of the biggest complaints from fans of the original cartoon and comics, just so non-fans can see why they should hate this movie so much. ...Although I'm sure the non-fans will have their own reasons to hate it.

It's official: the Arrested Development movie is happening! After months of hemming and hawing from one Michael Cera (aka George Michael Bluth), the lone player refusing to sign on to the film, homeboy has finally agreed to do the damn thing. (Mitchell Hurwitz said he wouldn't move forward on a script unless he had all of the original cast members on board.) Over the course of these last tortured months, I found myself asking what the hell was going on with young Mr. Cera. Since when do retiring milquetoast hipsters turn into demanding divas that hold up production of a movie fans have been campaigning for since the beloved show got canceled? Why would Cera, whose public persona has always been affably awkward, essentially bad-mouth the show that made him a star? And you think you know a person. I've pieced together the hellishly demanding terms of his contract in the hopes of revealing MC's true nature.

We've been watching the commercials and trailers for the movie Push for a while now, and we're pretty psyched to see it in theaters. In fact, we're more psyched to see the psychic shenanigans of Push than we are to see every single remaining episode of Heroes Volume 4, a.k.a. "Fugitives." After the disappointment of "Generations" and the further disappointment of "Villains," we'd prefer to see super-powers in the hands of people who will actually do interesting things with them, and not just act stupid, visit the future and let themselves get tricked all the time. Here are our reasons Push is the best Heroes episode ever, and why Friday night is our new Monday night.

Last night, millions of fans gathered around the TV to watch the Super Bowl, but not all of them were watching for the sport of it. Some were watching purely for the commercials, because so many new ones get rolled out during the broadcast. (And at $3 million a pop, they'd better be good.) The movie studios were not excluded from that, airing 11 different movie trailers during the game, including some brand-new ones (Angels and Demons, Fast & Furious) and a few slightly rehashed oldies (Star Trek, Up). While they only had 30 seconds to make their cases, there were five new trailers that did a bang-up job. Here are our faves from last night.

Fox is getting together a team. Specifically, they're getting together The A-Team. The studio hopes to launch a movie franchise based on the '80s TV action series. So far, Ridley and Tony Scott are set to produce and Joe Carnahan of Smokin' Aces will direct what he promises to be a "real and accessible" movie that's not overly cheesy. Although... a little cheese would be okay, right? Right. Other '80s shows have made the jump to the big screen, like Miami Vice, even though it bore little resemblance to the original. A movie version of The Greatest American Hero also appears to be in the works. (My Will Ferrell-dar pings every time I read something about that project.) So I got to wondering: What other shows from the decade of parachute pants, frosty blue eyeshadow and popped collars could be turned into movies? Who would star in them? Who would direct? Here are just a few possibilities.

Now that that great TV show Pushing Daisies, is, well, pushing daisies with no new episodes on the schedule and no resolution for the characters or story, what are fans of the show to do? Well, if show regular Kristin Chenoweth is right, all they might have to do is walk down to the video store and rent the movie. In an interview with TV Guide, Chenoweth claims that series runner Bryan Fuller is aiming to make a direct-to-DVD movie that would wrap up the series' various storylines.

Have you ever bit into a Jelly Belly jellybean, expecting it to be something tasty, like Toasted Marshmallow, but instead it's something nasty, like Buttered Popcorn? I totally got ready for marshmallows when I saw a news story that announced that there was a trailer out for the movie G-Force. I was like, "Awesome! Finally, a full trailer for the sure-to-be-excellent computer-animated movie about a team of five crime fighters in bird suits, based on the Japanese cartoon of the same name that I grew up watching!" Then I clicked the link, and the taste of Buttered Popcorn jellybeans filled my mouth. G-Force the movie is something totally, totally different, and totally, totally nauseating.

Which canceled TV series would you most expect to be getting theatrical movie buzz? (Other than Arrested Development, obviously.) Buffy, maybe? Or Angel? How about Veronica Mars? Nope, nope and nope. Um, Firefly again? Not even close. Friends? Try harder.

You know how there are those TV shows, where it seems like everywhere you turn, someone is talking about how brilliant it is and how if you don't watch it you should, and you think to yourself "Geez, I should really watch that," but you don't, because even though you have a DVR that you could program to start watching it, it's one of the crappy ones where you can only tape one thing at a time and you got sucked into The Biggest Loser again somehow, and then you think you should Netflix it but your boyfriend has finally agreed to watch Buffy, and your queue is totally full of that and you finally get fed up with it and say "God! Okay! I'll watch it eventually. Just, not right now." You know, shows like that? Well, Arrested Development was one of those shows for me. I'm sure it was brilliant. And I long ago determined that someday I will watch it, that I'll rent the whole damn series, and I know I'll probably love it. Turns out I'd better get my ass in gear, because according to series star Jeffrey Tambor, they're ready to go on the Arrested Development movie.
