That's why it's awesome! I'm out of my comfort zone! Something is happening in my pajamas!

that pelvic thrust thing was SUPER CRINGE-WORTHY this week.

I had a strong but undefinable reaction to her Barenaked Ladies rock-out a couple weeks back. Like a whole jumble of embarrassment / repulsion / attraction / amazement / horror / desire / etc.

nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:39 (nineteen years ago)

okay, but Kristen Bell is lovely and amazing. this shit is not her fault. fucking CW.

horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:40 (nineteen years ago)

I think it was hilarious, and I'm a little frightened ONCE AGAIN at how bad everyone needs that character to stay in high school.

Haikunym (Haikunym), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

haha xpost

I mean, Bell can make a whole lot of stuff seem convincingly awesome, but then there are certain things that are just ... and then she hits them so valiantly and confidently anyway.

nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

In any other actress's hands Veronica Mars would probably be completely insufferable! She's, umm, particularly good at being punchably smug / clever / quippy in a way that does not inspire punching impulses -- like, quite the opposite.

nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:43 (nineteen years ago)

(okay, Haikunym I am fine with Veronica as a sexual being! remember during the second season when the fact that she had bought some boob-size-increasing serum came out, and she answered her phone "Chesty LaRue"? that was awesome. I miss her wry take on the sex stuff, I guess. also I have not seen this episode so maybe in context the pelvic thrust is not horribly embarrassing, but I have my doubts.) high school is a better setting for this kind of show, though. that's just science.

horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:46 (nineteen years ago)

your science, my fiction

Haikunym (Haikunym), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

what was disturbing about the pelvic thrust is that she was showing her dad stripper moves.

milo z (mlp), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:54 (nineteen years ago)

oh god

horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:54 (nineteen years ago)

I watched the whole of the Reefer Madness musical because of her.

Strangely, I don't think I've seen her much in any kind of non-acting setting: I think I only saw one half-minute interview clip when the show debuted, in which she seemed ... really hard-assed, actually.

nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:57 (nineteen years ago)

she has the same birthday as I do! and was born in the same city! I luv her.

horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 1 February 2007 18:59 (nineteen years ago)

Oh wait, I had a point, which was that she has a decent ability to do incredibly goony physical stuff, which I think is what comes out occasionally on Veronica Mars. Except that Veronica Mars isn't really supposed to be that goony, so it's this weird reined-in thing where you're not sure exactly what combination of goony/cool they're looking for.

Umm, goony:

nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:02 (nineteen years ago)

she was great as a teenage hooker in Deadwood.

milo z (mlp), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:03 (nineteen years ago)

i couldn't get into reefer madness at all.

cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:05 (nineteen years ago)

Nor could I. Nobody should camp up camp classics. Also WTF with Catholic stuff in the church scene. I foolishly thought Neve Campbell dancing and Bell being goony would make it worthwhile, but not really. (I was not expecting any perv-appeal from Bell in a latex devil suit, or whatever, and my expectations were correct, it just doesn't work that way.)

nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:10 (nineteen years ago)

Do I need to crow about how I made geeked freaked out in front of KB again?

c(,,c) (Leee), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:22 (nineteen years ago)

She's quite a different person than KB IRL.

c(,,c) (Leee), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:24 (nineteen years ago)

She doesn't solve crime in her spare time?

milo z (mlp), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:25 (nineteen years ago)

Never had a best friend sleep with Harry Hamlin?

milo z (mlp), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:26 (nineteen years ago)

KB is airier, more flighty. Strange, VM is to me a realer person to me, but then I see her more often than KB nowadays.

c(,,c) (Leee), Thursday, 1 February 2007 19:31 (nineteen years ago)

- Hi, Nabisco. Here's a video of Kristen Bell doing a song-and-dance number in a latex devil suit. Do you think it will be hot?
- No.
- Okay. Here's a video of Kristen Bell shotgunning beer and giving noogies to twelve-year-old nerds. Do you think it will be hot?
- YES.

nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 1 February 2007 20:54 (nineteen years ago)

Apparently Dick isn't going to be on the show anymore? He's living in Africa running an orphanage according to this.

milo z (mlp), Thursday, 1 February 2007 21:09 (nineteen years ago)

Considering it says that his work started in 2004, and the article is from November, that's gotta be a different Ryan Hansen.

clotpoll (Clotpoll), Thursday, 1 February 2007 21:36 (nineteen years ago)

No, that's the same one. He's just now made it permanent or something.

milo z (mlp), Thursday, 1 February 2007 21:46 (nineteen years ago)

this show pretty much sucks now

m@p (plosive), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 21:42 (nineteen years ago)

hahahahahahahaha great parody of 95% of all comments on this thread! brilliant satire!

Haikunym (Haikunym), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 21:49 (nineteen years ago)

i know, matt. it makes me sad too.

m@p (plosive), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 21:58 (nineteen years ago)

episode was fine, though if you watch this for the WHODUNIT aspect it was pretty EZ from the get-go. fortunately, that's not why i watch the show!

Haikunym (Haikunym), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 22:01 (nineteen years ago)

You watch for Logan emo?

N.i.c.o.l.e (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 22:50 (nineteen years ago)

i watch for bland, uninteresting secondary characters

i watch for criminal misuse of keith and wallace

i watch for piz's hair

cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 23:13 (nineteen years ago)

I watch for Keith : /

Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 23:15 (nineteen years ago)

Everyone but 'nym is emo on this thread.

c(,,c) (Leee), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 23:35 (nineteen years ago)

Cozeen Larry OTM

milo z (mlp), Wednesday, 7 February 2007 23:38 (nineteen years ago)

i thought it was fine.

The Ultimate Conclusion (lokar), Thursday, 8 February 2007 01:31 (nineteen years ago)

I watch for Kristen Bell, because she is a very good actress in a very good part. I watch because Neptune is a very interesting fictional town with a lot more layers to it than anything else on TV. I watch because there is funny dialogue. I watch because a lot of the secondary characters are better than lead characters on most other shows. I watch because the pop culture references amuse me, even (and especially) when they are gratuitous. I watch because I actually like the idea of a high school-based show becoming a college-based show, and because the version of college here is a lot closer to actual college since anything since "Undeclared." And I watch because Weevil kicks ass.

Haikunym (Haikunym), Thursday, 8 February 2007 01:39 (nineteen years ago)

omg NOW YOU MADE ME ALL EMO you bastards

Haikunym (Haikunym), Thursday, 8 February 2007 01:43 (nineteen years ago)

Just scroll up and look at the pelvic thrust for a few minutes.

Tuesdays With Morimoto (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 8 February 2007 01:44 (nineteen years ago)

Neptune was once interesting, now it's a non-factor. Out of college, class distinctions no longer seem to exist for Veronica.

milo z (mlp), Thursday, 8 February 2007 02:06 (nineteen years ago)

milo z you are wrong, neptune is still very much a factor. but you are trying so hard to be disappointed that I won't try any more.

i was trying the other day to remember what it was we agreed on that one time. do you remember?

Haikunym (Haikunym), Thursday, 8 February 2007 02:10 (nineteen years ago)

it's a very small factor

cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Thursday, 8 February 2007 02:12 (nineteen years ago)

hahaha YOUR AWESOME ARGUMENTS HAVE CONVINCED ME

Haikunym (Haikunym), Thursday, 8 February 2007 02:14 (nineteen years ago)

How is Neptune a factor? The show is now 99.9999% Hearst College (itself devoid of personality), the secondary characters caricatures (Piz, the feminists) with no relation to the town. What makes New Nepune different, how is it a factor (ie why couldn't it be set in any unnamed wealthy beachfront locale?)

milo z (mlp), Thursday, 8 February 2007 02:15 (nineteen years ago)

haikunym, there is another show that i think you would like. it is called studio 60 on the sunset strip.

cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Thursday, 8 February 2007 02:21 (nineteen years ago)

First of all, it's not New Neptune. it's still just Neptune. Secondly, the O'Dells and Logan and Dick and Madison still live in swanky places and get their kids out of jams with the law (and rape people like that one dude), and the Mars and Weevil and Wallace (the scholarship thing, which never would have happened but whatever) do not.

I actually think the "rich vs. poor" thing is an oversimplified way to see Neptune -- now we get all the college vs. town stuff, Lamb having to suck up to some college people but loving to bust college students, the way others look at Veronica for being a commuter student, etc.

Cousin Larry I think there is a show you would like, it is called Kiss My Ass.

Haikunym (Haikunym), Thursday, 8 February 2007 02:24 (nineteen years ago)

is that on BET?

cousin larry bundgee (bundgee), Thursday, 8 February 2007 02:25 (nineteen years ago)

wow you just went from something to something else
