A Quick Shout Out...

To Enrico Colantoni, who was in Contagion, when I saw it the other night. The film was rubbish, but at least I got to say "he was in Veronica Mars!" so that cheered me up. Sadly, I still had to look at Jude Law.

Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice

I have an anniversary coming up, and it's an important one. Six years, people. Six. Years. *sigh*

Yes, that's right, it is just about six years since I discovered, and immediately fell in love with Veronica Mars. The traditional anniversary gift in the UK for six years is sugar. I may spend the evening watching season one again and crying into a box of chocolates about how unfair it all is. I don't think I ever got over the cancellation.

Veronica Mars has affected my life more than any other television show. It might not be the best one ever made, but there was just something about it that caught my imagination, and nothing has ever managed to replace it. My televisual existence is plagued by ex-Veronica guest stars. Every time I watch something, I see someone that used to be on the show. I know that everyone who was anyone seemed to be on it at some point, but still... My mantra these days is "He was in Veronica Mars." I can't seem to watch any sort of drama without someone popping up. I think it's why I'm still watching The New Girl.

So, Veronica, I want you to know that I still think of you. Six years may have passed, but I still remember you as if it were yesterday. *Wipes tear from my eye*

The Bitch is (Not) Back

 Now. I should point out that I am a massive Veronica Mars fan. I sometimes (when doing something thrilling, like washing up or vacuuming) ponder where a fourth season would have gone, where V would be now. I think about what Weevil is up to and why we didn't see the character development of Dick that I was hoping for........<nostalgic sigh>

So the news that Kristen Bell is leading a Twitter trend to get the VM film on the go should please me. But it doesn't. I don't think there's the market for a Veronica film. They couldn't make people watch it when it was free! I'm torn between feeling impressed that the star of a show feels so strongly about the project that she will go to these lengths....and suspicious that Bell trots this stuff out every time she has a (terrible - someone get that woman a new agent) new film to promote. Hell, I'm not sure if I would pay to see a Veronica film. A fourth season, yes, but what is a film going to offer? A happy ever after?

I think it's about time we put Veronica in the box labelled "Brilliant Shows That the Networks Loved to Hate" and be done with it. Dead Like Me needs some company, after all.......
