The Arrested Development Movie and 5 Other Projects That We'd Pay to See Retired

James Burns really hates Weezer. "This is an abusive relationship, and it needs to stop now," Burns wrote on the petition website thepoint.com. "I am tired of my friends being disappointed year after year. I'm sick of hearing about whatever this terrible (and yes, even if you like the early stuff, you should be able to admit that they are wretched now) excuse for a band is up to these days." To remedy this issue, Burns is hoping to raise $10 million to give Weezer in an effort to get the band to "disappear." Good luck with that. Burns' crackpot idea isn't without merit, however! Ahead, find six projects Movieline would gladly pay $10 million to never have to hear from again.

· The Arrested Development Movie

Enough is enough. It's nice that Mitch Hurwitz and Will Arnett are keeping the flame alive for the Arrested Development movie, both in the press and on Running Wilde, but the fact remains that the time has passed. Even Hurwitz seems to realize that the movie will be a disappointment. As he recently told Vulture, "I was thinking of calling it at one point, Arrested Development: The Huge Disappointment. Because it will be, initially. But then some people will come around to it. I mean, if it's good. It might not be good!" It's that last part that rattles this AD die-hard to the core. When it comes to the Bluth Family, "might not be good" is a phrase that shouldn't be in Hurwitz's vocabulary.

· The Hobbit

Unlike Arrested Development, it seems doubtless that Peter Jackson would allow The Hobbit to fall flat on its miniature face. When Jackson makes the film, it will likely be a heartfelt Hosanna to the Lord of the Rings fan base. But that's the problem: Is a Peter Jackson-directed version of The Hobbit really necessary when he already made the three Lord of the Rings films? Jackson had the right idea when Guillermo del Toro was attached to direct; now that he's gone, perhaps it would be better to forget this even existed.

· The Hangover 2

In the last few years, we've all been able to dodge sequels for Anchorman and Wedding Crashers, but the game of audience Frogger has ended with The Hangover 2. God bless Todd Phillips, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, but everything about this film just sounds like a bad joke -- up to and including the venue change to Bangkok. If a sequel was necessary (and it was thanks to the massive gross of The Hangover), why not just recast with new characters? Here's the starting point: a bachelorette party led by Mindy Kaling and Natalie Portman.

· Retro 3-D Conversions

3-D might be cool, and the conversion process might not be Last Airbender-bad when done right, but going back and retrofitting classics feels akin to colorization. Titanic and Star Wars might be ideal for 3-D, but they weren't made with that in mind. Please stop this before His Girl Friday 3-D arrives in cinemas.

· Wolverine 2

If you're Darren Aronofsky and you've got serious Oscar buzz for Black Swan, what do you do next? Direct a sequel to a crappy spin-off prequel, that's what! Err. Just because Aronofsky lost out on Superman doesn't mean he needs to go slumming. (Though if Hugh Jackman and Aronofsky want to team up for a sequel to The Fountain, I'm totally there.)

· The Veronica Mars Movie

Apologies to Kristen Bell, but every time I read about the Veronica Mars movie, a little part of me dies.
