Veronica Mars

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

haha havent seen the show since it came out but that's exactly how I remember it now.

the pilot looks less cheap than I remembered

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).

glad to hear the movie holds appeal for a neophyte. but dude! you have to catch up on the show now!

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.

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.

D:

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.

Which one is the vampire?

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.

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!

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.

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)

is piz EIC of p4k

is the plot "who killed mark richardson"

the mystery was pretty weak, but the dialogue, especially the essential back-and-forth between veronica + her dad and veronica + logan was exactly what I wanted to see. the theater I saw loved it, but it was a fan screening so unless it was a total bomb they would go nuts. but I didn't hear anyone complaining. also oh pizpaws delivered on a great aspect of the original show, where someone lowers the boom on veronica about her terrible behavior and leaves her speechless.
