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.
― some dude, Friday, 10 January 2014 02:25 (ten years ago) link
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.

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
― reddening, Sunday, 12 January 2014 00:18 (ten years ago) link
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Saw this last night in a mostly packed theater and I really enjoyed it, despite me not having watched much of the show (I remember watching an episode back then but it didn't do much for me).
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Friday, 14 March 2014 16:36 (ten years ago) link
glad to hear the movie holds appeal for a neophyte. but dude! you have to catch up on the show now!
― still alive, but charged with murder (some dude), Friday, 14 March 2014 16:40 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, I could see how the shuffling from one character to the next could be seen as fan service but since I wasn't technically a fan before the movie, it served as a nice introduction to the world and how expansive it got by the end of the show's run.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Friday, 14 March 2014 16:45 (ten years ago) link
seeing this tonight sort of against my will. i have fond memories of v mars but every time my wife rescreens an episode it feels stupider and stupider. assuming the movie will be roughly on the level of star trek: insurrection, the standard for post-show feature-length episodes.

No spoilers intended with this post, but I'm getting the impression that most fans prefer Logan over Piz as Veronica's love interest? Because based off this movie alone, I'm mostly for Piz over Logan. Sorry everyone.

Can't wait for this. O/h is walking around singing 'Veronica Mars' to the tune of 'One foot in the grave'.Stupid movie ticket says it's 68 min long but apparently it's proper movie length.
― kinder, Friday, 14 March 2014 18:16 (ten years ago) link
i think we're gonna watch online since i can't deal with packed movie theaters. just bought some old school popcorn maker and fancy sodas so looking forward to an at-home event!
― just1n3, Friday, 14 March 2014 18:35 (ten years ago) link
Just saw this today in a half empty theatre. I really think they nailed it, it was everything I wanted from the movie. Feel guilty for not giving money to the Kickstarter campaign now.

This was so poor :( Feels like they tried to edit a whole season down to movie length, lost all character and distinctive dialogue, and were left with clunky exposition.
― Stevie T, Saturday, 15 March 2014 13:51 (ten years ago) link
what! it was great. They had to wrap up what would be a season-long mystery into 1.5 episode-length so ... the end was a bit rushed. But otherwise I thought they got the pacing and playing to the fans about right. <3 (also multiple Freaks & Geeks actors, yay)
poor piz :(
my screening was totally full (with some younger kids, too) but it's showing like 6 times in total in a handful of theatres in the UK. It was a really good atmosphere!

also I'm pretty sure there is a Mitchell & Webb reference in there (for UK viewers)
