Veronica Mars

This made LOL v hard last night

Kendall: Doesn't this mean anything to you?

Logan: It does. It means I'm getting laid. And I owe your village a goat.

xps i just started the novel too, good light reading so far

you guys are going to make me read the novel, aren't you?

it's not a difficult read!

I don't think that was the supposed qualm :)

It would be amazing if the Veronica Mars novel was dense and impenetrable, secretly written by DFW before his death.

or his semi-lookalike from season 3

it should be like House of Leaves

HOUSE OF NEPTUNE

sorry guys it is breezy and fun! well I mean people get murdered, but there are also quips

1000-page meditation on class, violence and gender in contemporary suburban America.

with quips

The Sun Also Quips

mmm, sun quips

our local indie theater got the vmars movie last week, so I saw it a second time and enjoyed it a LOT more than the first time. I was so wound up about identifying callbacks and returning characters that I couldn't enjoy all the jokes and character chemistry.

Did you ever wonder what Veronica Mars would be like, with a different actress, and she is a zombie who helps solve crimes by learning about crimes by eating the brains of the murdered and murderers? From the same producer, even?

You now have iZombie!

sold!

IT's not that great (yet) unfortunately, much more procedural and stock-character-friendly than VMars. And I do not enjoy the big bad.

I avoided this because zombies are stupid, but Rob Thomas did do Veronica Mars, and this is only one zombie... I will check it out.

idk if they have actually introduced a bad guy, per se, but I know what you mean

It's kind of charming, I think. Yeah, baddie sucks, and I hate zombies, but the concept of her taking on attributes of dead folks provides a lot of space.

did anyone see the feature film? was it just completely indifferent? after all the hype about its fundraising model, it seemed to die with a whimper.

yeah i liked it. Some discussion upthread.
We put in a new bathroom window in kind of frosted glass and there's a streetlight outside and every night it reminds me of the lighting in Keith Mars's office

afaik people liked it and watched it? it was a good movie-length episode

It was basically a long episode of the TV show.

in a good way...?

i feel like i'd feel a little cheated by that in the theater, but it was released simultaneously to theaters and streaming, right?

anyway, I guess I should catch up w/ it.

yeah, it was in both, and is worth watching if you're wondering what those kids from Neptune have been up to

It was basically a long episode of the TV show.

With swearing, right?

not much

maybe it's just a sign of me getting old but the weirdest thing about the movie was that it made me root for Piz over Logan. Like come on girl, it's time you picked the nice, clean, stable one over that reckless fireball of repressed rage.

You weren't the only one!

Veronica/Logan otp tho

well no really Mac/Veronica otp but failing that

NO DICK NO CREDIBILITY

wait

DUNCAN KANE IS BACK AND HE'S STILL EXPRESSIONLESS

At least Piz is going to be in it!

(jk jk)

This is exciting

yeah the movie was fun but this really needs to be a 12-15 episode season with a nice mystery arc and lots of casual exchanges with mac and wallace and her dad

hell yes im in

MY MAC/VERONICA SHIP LIVES I mean neato

yay!

S4 out today (a week early)

hell yeah

Does this mean I'm finally going to buy a Hulu subscription??

just do a free trial lol

exactly, free trial lasts a month, only need 24 hours

Wait, what? Had no idea they're rebooting this thing.

Movie wasn't that great though.

Kirby Howell-Baptiste! Patton Oswalt!
