Veronica Mars

I remember watching an episode of the show back when it was on the air and it did nothing for me but the trailer is making me excited for the movie and maybe I should try watching the show again?

Yeah!

my hope is that the movie will work as a standalone piece and that people who've never seen an episode will enjoy it, but it's hard to tell if's going to rely heavily on familiarity with the characters or if the trailer is just playing up things that will get the fans excited.

WHERE IS KEN MARINO

was veronica's dad the only Old Person they showed?

I'm hoping this sparks a series revival so that I can forget House of Lies exists.

arghhh i actually HAD forgotten House of Lies exists, now i am sharing in your pain

never watched! hard earned showtime skepticism paying off again.

wait, so Veronica and Piz have been together for 10 years and she's never met his parents?

my wife said she read something that implied that they only linked back up a year or two before the storyline in the movie, so they haven't been together the whole time or anything

hoping for awesome Logan zingers in this movie

happy that Duncan still seems non-existent, while (former) Deputy Leo is back. :D

Ugh, Leo, he's such a douchebag now.

JAR.

and now we can finally get everyone's reaction to KONY 2012!

oh shit is the plot of the movie that veronica mars manages to find kony?

zach: thank you for finding the silver lining here

woo hoo, 'free' streaming

i was actually pretty excited to hear that news today -- we have amazon prime hooked up to the TV, and recently rewatched the first season of VM but don't have the other two seasons on DVD.

we just started the first season last weekend -- i totally dig it

also I think it's the first thing I've ever enjoyed Amanda Seyfried in. I always thought she looked like a goldfish before this.

nah man them boobs is magical, they can tell the weather

time for a 'murders at hearst college' re-eval i think

xpost omg her boobs are a+

ok will re-eval boobs too

Probably the last place to which I expected a VM thread to go.

sorry :(

lol not sure if I was complaining...

guys

The first book in an original mystery series featuring twenty-eight-year-old Veronica Mars, back in action after the events of Veronica Mars: The Movie. With the help of old friends—Logan Echolls, Mac Mackenzie, Wallace Fennel, and even Dick Casablancas—Veronica is ready to take on Neptune’s darkest cases with her trademark sass and smarts. - seems to be a name missing here

a shame, I wanted to see if piz sparkles on the page the same way he does the screen

unless he's there and they thought it would be too spoilery to refer to him by his new name, Piz Mars.

o shit Piz is totally the criminal mastermind in the movie isn't he

maybe he just gets killed in an unfortunate accident

I wd piz my pants!

First two minutes is basically a series recap:

still lol @ the complete and total absence of Duncan.

i am torn... loved the first few eps and now I'm midway through s1 and the noirish nancy drew thing, esp the narration is reaaaaaally getting on my nerves

kinda find myself waiting for it to be great again

logan looks like one of those floppy inflatable things they put out the front of tire stores

why is weevil/vm not a thing he's sooo cute

duncan can diaf he's like jared padelicki with a frontal lobotomy

the weevil bike gang is the single most ridiculous thing about this ridiculous (and often v good) show. a gang of soft-spoken helmet-wearing pranksters whose criminal activities are... framing each other for credit card fraud? so lame.

they're teenagers!

i've been doing a rewatch and just finished s1. i went into it thinking "i was probably too hard on duncan the first time around" but no. he is dreadful. that scene early on where he and troy sit in a car and joke about "gettin' jiggy wit' it" and "raising the roof"? mortifying.

otm

the worst duncan line has to be, "you've been listening to radiohead again, haven't you? that's it, i'm putting you on a strict nelly diet!" i don't know if there's an actor who could make those words sound anywhere approaching normal, but duncan somehow manages the singular feat of making them sound even stupider.

he sounds like a weird out of touch uncle

it's endearing how dated the music references seem, jessica chastain shows up as a guest star and her first line is like "oh, sorry i haven't returned your Snow Patrol CD yet!"

speaking of dated, the girl fashions in this show are something else. i just got to the episode where steve guttenberg's daughter claims she wore this outfit to "blend in":

my main impression of this show from the episodes i saw was that the colors were rad and the girl fashions were part of that. the like cool noir approach it (sometimes?) took to filming loud pastels.

whoa, I forgot Krysten Ritter was ever on VM

the "sunset lighting" & every room having blinds half drawn is starting to grate on me
