That Veronica Mars...she's pretty hot.

[mmilton80]

I really dig Veronica Mars. She's pretty hot, spunky, and oh so good looking; plus she's smart and witty. The ideal package.

[jsmeeker]

yup. She sure is all that. :)

[mmilton80]

yup. She sure is all that. :)

I'll raise that a bag of chips.

[getbak]

...and Kristen Bell is actually 25, so it's okay to think of her as "hot, spunky, and oh so good looking" without feeling like (too much of) a dirty old man.

Kristen Bell is stunning, there's no doubt about that. Wow (http://www.paper-flower.com/kristenbell/photos/kristen/scans/kristenbellgiant05.jpg).

But as a straight female, I love her more for her extraordinary talent more than her looks. She's an amazingly gifted actress. And she can sing, too! I love her in Veronica Mars, but she's got a huge career ahead of her. She was memorable in Deadwood, great in a small role in Spartan (which I otherwise hated) and she was fantastic in Gracie's Choice, a Lifetime movie that I never would have watched if it weren't for her, but it was actually pretty good if only because she elevates the material.

Have you rented the season one DVD and started from the beginning? The Pilot sets up a lot of complicated backstory and I think VM is hard to get into midstream, but it is well worth the effort. I think it's one of my favorite shows of all time. Seriously. I had a couple of friends who tried an episode here and there and couldn't get into it, but once I loaned them my DVDs and they saw the first few eps, they were totally hooked.

[Bob_Newhart]

Yeah, but what will she look like in a hundred years?


:cool:

[rkester]

I havent done that. I keep hearing peple talking aboot how good it is. Need to check it out. I have no way to rent anything, I owe all the rental places here locally money and I dont do netflicks or anything like that.

The S1 set is $45, a little more than id spend on a show i know llittle aboot and may not like. Any suggestions?

[Magnolia88]

The S1 set is $45, a little more than id spend on a show i know llittle aboot and may not like. Any suggestions?

I would suggest getting a trial membership at Netflix and renting the first Veronica Mars DVD asap during the trial period. But if you don't want to do that . . . I tried sending you a private message but it bounced back b/c your inbox is full.

If you like shows like Buffy, Alias, and Gilmore Girls, then VM is probably something you would enjoy. Maybe Twin Peaks, for the murder mystery and dark tone. If you hate all those shows, then VM may not be for you. But Kristen Bell is a superstar. She alone makes the show great.

And don't just take my word for it -- Veronica Mars made every Top 10 list this year: TV Guide, Entertainment Weekly, Time magazine, the American Film Institute, USA Today, MSNBC, the Chicago Tribune, the Phila. Inquirer, the Village Voice, the Boston Phoenix, and just about every other list I've seen b/c I lost count. VM and Lost seem to be the only consensus picks on every major critic's list, at least the ones I've seen.

[rkester]

I don't like alias, but I never got into it either because it was on when stuff I watched was on other channels. Dont like gilmore girls alot, dont like buffy.

I do however love Lost, Everwood, etc.

If Im not mistaken my brother has a sub to blockbuster mayeb they will have it and he will get the 1st disc for me to check out... need ot ask him i guess

[whoknows55]

It is an amazing show. You should watch it.

[rkester]

I was kinda hoping to get into it recently since I have an HDTV now and can watch in HD. but until Im caught up at least partly it doesnt make sense and i hvae no clue who is who.

I need to have a year to do nothing but watch older shows I missed and catch up!

I've been totally meaning to start watching but in the rerun last night they said who the killer was in season one :mad:. should I even bother ??

[mwhip]

I've been totally meaning to start watching but in the rerun last night they said who the killer was in season one :mad:. should I even bother ??

Definitely. There are alternate story lines in each episode with her working on other stuff. Plus the writing and acting are great.

[cmontyburns]

For anyone reading this thread (yeah, I only clicked into it for the discussion, too...) who is among those asking themselves whether they should be watching Veronica Mars, let me add another vote for yes, absolutely, starting yesterday. The series is not perfect, but it is astonishingly good: suspenseful, intelligent, emotional, funny -- it pushes almost every button, and pushes 'em good.

[Magnolia88]

I've been totally meaning to start watching but in the rerun last night they said who the killer was in season one :mad:. should I even bother ??

Another emphatic YES vote.

The problem with tuning into any episode from the current (second) season is that Lilly's killer is revealed in almost every episode. It's sort of an important plot point to everything that is going on now.

But even if you are spoiled for the "whodunit" aspect of season one, it's a wonderful show anyway and very much worth the effort. The writing and acting are top notch and I love rewatching my favorite S1 episodes even though I know how everything turns out in the end. I would get my hands on the S1 DVD asap and get caught up before I would watch season two.

Plus, I don't think you can appreciate what is going on very much in season two if you haven't seen season one. The plot and relationships are complicated and everything the characters went through in season one affects what is going on now.

[Attack]

I own two copies of the Veronica Mars Season 1 box set for just this reason. PM me if your interested in a box set loan.

[Magnolia88]

More praise for Veronica (http://www.ocweekly.com/component/content2/ondvd/) in a review of the season one DVD set.

Bell. The Best. Easily the best actress to come out of TV in, like, forever.

Yes. I don't think I've ever loved any actress on TV this much. I thought Jennifer Garner was good the first season of Alias, but Kristen Bell shows even more range as Veronica, because Sydney Bristow was never much with the comic timing. Then again, Veronica can't kick anyone's ass in the physical sense. She's more about the cutting remarks.

And apparently, you guys think she's cute. :D

[MattBeckwith]

She's able to deliver those snappy, rapid-fire, intelligent lines. I think she must be pretty smart to be able to do that. And intelligence is more stimulating than any physical quality, in my opinion. I wouldn't kick her out of... the library.

[Rob Helmerichs]

Maybe, but maybe not. I know that Amanda Tapping can rattle off the science-speak like she was born to it when it's scripted, but in interviews, she comes across as kind of a ditz.

[Magnolia88]

I don't know about Amanda Tapping, but there is no doubt that Kristen Bell is pretty darn smart. She brings so much nuance and depth to even the most inconsequential lines, and it's not just that she's good with the rapid fire comebacks and the comic timing, although she's superb at that too.

Plus, she did study drama at NYU's Tisch School of the Performing Arts and her first major role was in The Crucible on Broadway alongside Liam Neeson and Laura Linney (and taking that role is the reason she didn't actually graduate from NYU). KB is no dummy.

She can come across as a little "ditzy" in some talk show interviews, but that's what is expected of young actresses on talk shows. The producers want them to talk about stupid crap that makes them seem "fun and flirty" not serious and introspective. I saw KB on Punk'd and she gave the guy so much attitude she seemed very Veronicaish. She was hilarious.

hehehe Brian with a Y gets angry

[aadam101]

I met Kristen Bell and the rest of the cast too. They did an appearance last April. I was SOOOOO disappointed in her.

I already posted this story but I will repeat it.

They all showed up about half an hour late. I wasn't upset about that. However, they all walked in together and the rest of the cast was smiling and waving at the crowd. Kristen was talking on her cell phone with her down. Then they all got to the table and the rest of the cast was greeting people and hugging them and taking pictures etc. Kristen howver, was too busy text messaging someone and getting up and talking to some guy (bf?) and showing him the text messages.

I just felt that there was no reason why she couldn't have spent two hours of her time greeting fans since that is what she was there to do. The rest of the cast was awesome. I did get to talk to her and she was very nice. I wish I had a pic but I had a camera problem.

[murgatroyd]

Maybe, but maybe not. I know that Amanda Tapping can rattle off the science-speak like she was born to it when it's scripted, but in interviews, she comes across as kind of a ditz.

Amanda has said in interviews that she was something of a nerd in high school. So she can effortlessly flow from science geek to ditz and back again. ;)

[mwhip]

aadam101, sorry you had a bag experience mine could not have been better.

They all arrived on time and everyone was very nice and cordial. While Kristen Bell and Enrico were waiting on fans to come to them they seemed to be having a very good time making each other laugh. I ended up behind 5 girls that were very happy to see Percy Dags III and that made a stop down for me to chat with Jason Dohring for about 5 minutes. He was so cool and was asking a lot of questions about Dallas. He kept saying how he wanted to stay and see Styx play that night but he had to get back to LA. Kristen was very nice and had a big smile and was thanking everyone for taking time out to come see them and watching and supporting the show. I told her thanks and asked her to pass along the same to Rob Thomas.

[mwhip]

You can also watch trailer for her next movie over at MSN.

There is a scene in the trailer that makes me very excited to see the movie. ;)

[aadam101]

I still love Kristen and the show but I wish the experience had bee a little better.

I really wish this show would find a bigger audience. The whole time we standing in line (it was in a mall) people kept walking by and asking why we standing in line. When we said "Veronica Mars" about 90% of them responded with "Who's that?" They were still a few hundred people and I did get the entire casts autographs

[jasoncarr]

I like the show, but I don't know if it's strong enough for me to watch if that lovely creature wasn't on it.

Sorry, Magnolia! Fear not, you are under no danger of being unseated as la suprema VM expert here... just think of me as the blind squirrel. :)

[Magnolia88]

I meant "sniff" meaning that I'm upset about the word "went" in your answer . . . if that makes any sense. I'm upset about what happened with V/L on the show -- not that you answered the question.

And I'm not a VM expert, just a huge fan of Kristen Bell and the show (although making multiple DVDs to hook my friends probably has made me into somewhat of an "expert" as a side effect).

[etsolow]

...what would make you think that in the first place. I can't imagine what would lead someone to that conclusion.
I don't know if I need spoilers, but just in case...
Just because it happened so suddenly, with no warning -- and isn't he evil, 'n stuff?? Oh, and when she was confessing to her deputy-boyfriend she said something about making out with someone she "hated". I guess I just didn't pick up on their chemistry, or something! :cool:

[Magnolia88]

Ah, okay, I get it now. (Although I saw warnings fairly early on, I get that not everybody saw them. They were subtle, like many of the emotional undercurrents on VM.)

Imho, when she told Leo she "hated" Logan, it was mainly past tense at that point and she was trying to explain why she was a "trainwreck" and he was better off without her. But the fact that she dumped sweet Leo, who she liked a lot, told me that she really had the hots for Logan in a big way because if she was following her head instead of her heart, she'd have stuck with Leo. She knew Logan was bad news, but she couldn't help herself.

Only using spoiler tags for those who have not had the good fortune to see all of season one of VM yet. And what are you waiting for? See Kristen Bell in a short skirt! Lots of them! And a bikini!

[hereafter]

And what are you waiting for? See Kristen Bell in a short skirt! Lots of them! And a bikini!

And, for some reason, she has new breasts this season. Not sure why she got them, but I chuckled when:

she went on TV to investigate the psychic, after telling Wallace's "girlfriend" about using the breast-enhancement cream, while her breasts were clearly bigger this season than last. It doesn't work for me when other characters on the show are making "flat-chested" jokes at her expense when clearly, she's no longer flat-chested.

Oh well, still a great show and she's still damned attractive.

[etsolow]

And, for some reason, she has new breasts this season.
Hmm, now I'm looking forward to season 2 even more. ;)

[Magnolia88]

It's called a padded push-up bra. Maybe Kristen is getting self-conscious about all the "Veronica is flat-chested" jokes?

In addition to the psychic incident, there was another comment by that dude from the fightin Fitzpatricks. He said something about Veronica not needing plastic surgery, "well, aside from the obvious," as he looked at her chest. Evil Madison Sinclair also made fun of her chest at the slumber party at Gia's house, and of course there was the classic "Flat? Just as God made me," from season one.

Veronica is so pretty and smart and generally self-assured, I think it's the only thing they can think of to have people make fun of her about. She's regularly getting insulted by people, so the writers have to come up with something more than "your car is crappy" and "you're poor." (But I agree that it's funny that the jokes are more frequent this year, even though her boobs appear bigger than last year.)

[aadam101]

Honestly, since I have seen her in person her boobs are much bigger than they look on TV, I was very surprised!

[mwhip]

Even better than S1 so far. The first season, once it hit midpoint or so, built momentum like a freight train towards its conclusion. But I thought the first half (well, maybe third), while the show was still new and trying to find its footing a little, was a bit uneven. Not so in season two -- almost every episode has been quite strong, sometimes astonishingly so.

[Magnolia88]

I finally got to meet Kristen last weekend at the Veronica Mars screening in Austin, and she didn't disappoint. Smart, funny, incredibly kind and all-around great gal. And even more stunning in person than she is onscreen, if you can believe that. Yes, the girl is hot.

I got to talk to her for a few minutes about a few different topics and we were talking about some of her past work when Rob Thomas interrupted our conversation to say that you couldn't talk about Kristen's work without mentioning Pootie Tang. I get the impression he kids her a lot about that movie being on her resume (which she's apparently in for only a few seconds) and she's a good sport about it. She said, of course, no matter what I do, there will always be Pootie Tang.

She was in Austin for the whole weekend doing all sorts of VM-related stuff. The VM screening was at the Alamo Drafthouse and it was held on two nights. See photos here (http://www.originalalamo.com/archives/veronicamars/index.html).

If you're a VM fan, I wrote a recap (http://magnolia888.livejournal.com/9608.html) in two parts, with links to more photos. (If you're not a VM fan it will be very boring and will probably make no sense.)

Rob Thomas did most of the talking at the screening and Q&A, but Kristen got pretty chatty at a couple of points. Then she talked to fans and signed autographs for what seemed like hours.

Heh. I don't post photos of myself on the internet. But I do have some fabulous photos of Kristen, some with myself. My friend I was with took lots of photos (http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/latinita_98/my_photos) and you can see my hand. (In the closeup photo of Kristen, I am standing right there, next to the photographer. KB and I had quite a nice chat, and I was taking my time moving on to the boys.)

And I'm female and straight. And yes, I have a total girl crush on KB and I'm not afraid to admit it. She's adorable. :) But it's her performance as Veronica that I love most (although she's fantastic in everything she's ever done, something I took the opportunity to tell her in person, which led to the Pootie Tang comment).

You need to read a little closer. Magnolia has said in the past that she's a female i the 18-24 demo, and that her lusting after KB is purely platonic.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

Agreed, though, about the need for an avatar.

ETA: or, what Magnolia herself just said... (damn slow typing)

[Magnolia88]

I never said anything about being under 24. I wish. No, I'm older than Kristen by a few years but not by so much that I can't imagine us as gal pals, hanging out and shopping and stuff. ;)

She's really an amazing talent. I had a girl crush on Kate Winslet once, but I've never liked a TV actress this much. (Okay, I thought Jennifer Garner kicked ass the first season of Alias, but that ended when she dumped cutie-pie Scott Foley).

Kristen's intelligence is obvious in her performance but she was both smart and hilarious in person. It was especially funny when she called her boyfriend Kevin an a-hole very loudly in front of a crowd of 200 or so people. Heh.

[cmontyburns]

OK why in the world did I not know about this? She was in my freaking state? 3 hours away from me? Now I am just mad.

Did you get a chance to talk to Jason Dohring?

[Magnolia88]

Thanks for the blog and link to photos magnolia. :up: :up: :up:

Did you get a chance to talk to Jason Dohring?

Yes, I did, and he was lovely. :D

But in all honesty, the people I most wanted to meet were Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell and they were both great. Very down-to-earth, funny, friendly, approachable and very appreciative of the fan support for VM.

Rob Thomas has known a lot of ups and downs in showbiz (check out his site (www.slaverats.com) for hilarous recaps of his failures), and it's obvious he is enjoying having a show that people watch and love, however few in number they may be.

[mwhip]

I was asking because when I met the cast the people in front of me (girls) were very excited to see Percy and there was like 5 of them. So the line stalled and I got to talk to Jason for a couple minutes. I would have been happier if it would have stalled in front of Kristen but no luck. I found Jason to be really cool and very nice. Just kind of shocking because at that point all you saw was him being an a-hole. And I know it's acting but when it is the only impression you have of someone you tend to form an opinion. But Jason and I talked for a couple minutes and he was asking all kinds of questions about Dallas and he wanted to stay because Styx was in town but he had to get home.

[rkester]

I'm sad. Last night, I popped in the last disc for S1, and found that it only had 2 episodes on it. And I devoured them quickly. :(

Need a season 2 box now.

[Magnolia88]

I found Jason to be really cool and very nice. Just kind of shocking because at that point all you saw was him being an a-hole. And I know it's acting but when it is the only impression you have of someone you tend to form an opinion.

Jason is so completely unlike Logan that it makes me appreciate his acting talent that much more. He's more reserved than Kristen, but also down-to-earth and obviously enjoys talking about acting and his work on VM. He talked a bit about developing the character of Logan and finding the right notes to play at the audition. But even though he's smart, he's also very much a Socal kid, and his speech patterns are similar to Logan's: lots of "dudes" and "rads." And words that can't be repeated here. ;)

Kristen has more in common with Veronica than Jason does Logan, but she's much nicer and friendlier than V of course. :) She also comes across in person as being much older than Jason. She's very mature and poised beyond her years, and he seems like a young kid barely out of high school. I think it's the difference in their experience level: she studied theater at NYU and has been on Broadway with Liam Neeson and Laura Linney, and for Jason, VM is the first big acting thing he's ever done.

I think he's a little in awe of her, honestly. He obviously has huge admiration for her and gushed about her quite a bit. (Then again, everyone gushes about her, because how can you not?)

[mwhip]

I was thinking about the Marsathon last night and what I would have asked if there. The one thing I kept coming back to was 'Spartan'. I am huge Mamet fan and would probably have beat her down about working with him. Also I would have found a way to get some questions in about David Milch and working on 'Deadwood'.

[Fish Man]

I need to watch Reefer Madness. I heard it was pretty good in a spoofy way.

I find the original a lot funnier and more enjoyable.

It is so over-the-top ludicrous and unintentionally funny that it is really a scream!

I saw the new "musical" version with Kristen Bell. While I enjoyed her performance in it, the musical appeared to be trying too hard to be funny, ironic, dark, morbid, and gross.

IOW, its humor seemed "forced".

I didn't like it (other than an opportunity to see Kristen Bell in one more thing).

[mwhip]

Anyone see the trailer to her new movie Pulse (http://imdb.com/title/tt0454919/) during VM last night?

It actually looks really good.

Veronica is a badass who doesn't always "play nice" but she's always serving a greater good, or at least thinks she is. Just like most of the great fictional anti-heroes. Heck, Jack Bauer tortures people and Jack Bristow shoots someone between the eyes and the audience cheers. But Veronica plants a bug to get information and it's all, "ooh, she's not very nice, is she?"

VM is a detective show. Weren't Magnum and Rockford always breaking into places and going undercover (i.e., lying) and doing other bad stuff? Isn't that what private eyes on TV always do? Dave and Maddie lied to people every week to get information.

But back to the topic at hand . . . Kristen looks stunning on her Maxim cover. That's quite a coup for her and I think it can only serve as great, um, exposure. :p If it sells some tickets to Pulse and maybe brings in a few new viewers to VM, then that's even better.

Anyone know what the merging of WB and UPN will do to the respective programs on those channels. We all know what happened when Buffy jumped ship and went to UPN and Angel stayed on WB, both programs suffered (at least that's my opinion).

While I have to admit I skipped pages 2 and 4, there is a comment on the first page bunching Buffy, Alias, and Gilmore Girls together. There aren't three shows with female leads that are more different IMO. Can anyone explain why this is an accurate comparison? I don't actually watch Gilmore Girls so that could be part of the disconnect.

[Lori]

I'd call it Buffy, Twin Peaks and Gilmore Girls, myself.

Buffy because of the smart, rapid-fire dialog, the bright strong heroine who always beats the bad guy but doesn't always get the guy. Twin Peaks because it's a little on the dark and freaky side and Gilmore Girls because of the really strong relationship between Veronica and her Dad.

[Magnolia88]

There is a whole thread discussing this (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=283630). It looks like VM will be paired with Gilmore Girls, probably on Tuesday nights, but no official announcement will be made until April or May.

I started watching VM because I heard it described as a little bit of Buffy and Alias, since those are two of my favorite shows ever. I see Veronica as a smarter Buffy and a funnier Sydney. But unlike Syd and Buffy, VM has no ability to kick anyone's ass in a physical sense. She has only her brain as her secret weapon against bad guys. And her wit. And her detective gadgets.

Both Buffy and Alias have strong young female leads who don't take crap from anyone, so that is the obvious similarity. Also, both shows feature strong father-daughter relationships: Buffy and Giles (who served the father-mentor role) and Sydney and Jack, who are estranged at times but we know that Jack still always has her back.

The only similarity between Gilmore Girls and VM imho is the witty dialogue and pop culture references. I guess one could say the parent-child relationship is sort of a similarity. Unlike Jack and Giles, Keith Mars is also a pretty hip and funny dad, so he's a bit like Lorelai in that way. He gets plenty of good lines, while Giles and Jack aren't known for their senses of humor. Otoh, Keith can be pretty badass when the occasion calls for it, so he combines the best of all possible worlds. Imho, the Veronica-Keith relationship is one of the best aspects of VM and is the heart of the show.

I know Tuesdays suck because of House and TAR and all, but every time slot is going to have some big show that is a huge hit. Everybody complains about VM being up against Lost now on Wed nights and on Thursdays, there would be complaints about Smallville, Survivor, etc.

Back to "Veronica Mars is hot" . . . MSN has a new Kristen Bell photo gallery (http://movies.msn.com/movies/gallery.aspx?gallery=10634). The pictures aren't new, but the "In Focus" gallery is new, calling KB an "up and coming" actress.

I guess MSN is expecting Pulse to get a lot of press or something? I don't know that I'd call an actress starring as the lead title character of a one-hour network drama in its second season to be "up and coming." I'd say she's already there. Isn't that what actors dream of, to get the lead role in a network TV series or studio movie? I know VM flies below the radar, but still, she's the freaking lead.

[joits]

even though KB is the lead on a tv show, i think they call her up and comming because VM isn't exactly drawing a huge crowd. to most of the country, she's a relative unknown. and i don't think pulse is going to change that. from the trailers it looks like a pretty crappy horror movie. i like KB a lot... but no way I'm paying 10 bucks to see that crap.

man, i envy anyone who has met KB. even more so to the people who took pics with her. u guys are lucky. hopefully one day, the cast and crew will go to comicon in san diego, i try to go every year and usually get to see a bunch of celebs (went to the battlestar galactica one and saw boomer!). but i'm even more jealous of my friend who is a masseuse. her company was hired to work at some tv event and i guess some cast and crew from VM were there. cos my friend was chatting about it and she says she gave a massage to some blonde actress who plays Veronica something on tv... I couldn't believe my what I was hearing! my friend didn't know i was a fan, but she did tell me that KB was really short. they didn't chat, she just came in, sat on the massage type chair thingy and my friend gave her a quick massage and that was it. oh man... i would have loved to have been in my friend's shoes...

so do you guys think duncan is out of the show for good? how are they gonna bring him back now that he's got a kid if he does come back?

So the pics are hot? I'll have to take your word for it, b/c I can't access them. Would it be weird for a straight chick to buy Maxim for the girly pics? Heh. I will pretend I'm buying it for my bf.

According to Rob Thomas, Joel Silver has been pushing Kristen to do a photo shoot for Maxim for months, but she was reluctant to do it. Then she did Pulse and Harvey Weinstein wanted her to do it to help promote the movie, and she finally relented.

I have no problem with her doing it b/c it's sort of expected of young actresses to do this sort of thing, but I like that KB was not jumping all over the idea. She's a "serious actress" who shouldn't have to do it, but these Maxim covers do get a lot of attention. Anything that gives her a higher profile and gets her more work in features has to be a good thing. She should be getting the kind of roles that Scarlett Johanssen is getting, b/c KB acts circles around her.

Agree with that about KB and SJ. SJ has a nicer body though :)

A lot of these actresses pose for Maxim and it's ilk to get out of the "highschool" mode.

I know she is thin she has always been thin this is not her being a starlet. I have seen pictures of her on broadway and high school plays she is just a thin girl. Plus she is a workout fiend which is awesome.

Yeah, Kristen Bell is hot, but I prefer the uber-gorgeous supporting actress Charisma Carpenter. I know this is off topic, but Charisma's curves are oh-so-genuine, and oh-so-appealing.

Besides, I got a chance to meet Charisma and spend about a half hour with her and her husband Damien. She is extraordinarily gracious and charming. I'll have to tell y'all about that sometime.

I FINALLY got around to starting this show last night (I've actually had the DVD from Netflix since February, and have been meaning to start it even longer) and was not disappointed at all. We finished all four episodes and I bought the full set this morning. It was as good as I had hoped it would be.

And yes, she is hot. I loved the scene where she went skinny dipping and the only things she needed to take off were her shoes and her dress (4th episode). Glad she's over 18 (well, Kristen Bell is anyway). Should be able to catch up on the first two seasons on DVD before the season starts - now in HD!

The Regis and Kelly interview was lame, so if you didn't see it, you didn't miss much. It was Kelly and her husband Mark and they clearly had never seen VM and really didn't know much about KB at all, so it was pretty much: tell us about Pulse (it's a horror movie, duh), and that was that.

I hope the Leno interview will be better but he's not much of an interviewer either, so I'm not holding my breath.

Also, the VM promo that was shown at Comic-Con (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNuqjuDWngI) is online and is pretty good imho (although the quality and especially the sound in this version is crappy).

[Magnolia88]

Pulse looks pretty lame but Kristen looked very pretty (http://www.kristen-b.net/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=221) at the premiere party last night, serving up drinks behind the bar.

[Rosenkavalier]

Speaking of dredging up old threads...I wanted to post something here about this, but I couldn't find an existing thread that was relevant, and I didn't think it warranted a new thread...so here it goes.

I added something over on the WikiPedia pages for Veronica Mars, relating to the Season 1 plotline (who killed Lilly Kane) that I think some of you might find interesting. Some folks may know at least part of this, but I think at least one element is a new find.

Start on the 'Pilot' episode page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_%28Veronica_Mars_episode%29), then follow the link to the 'Return of the Kane' episode page for the next part.

I didn't want to post Rob Thomas's quote over there in its original form, as it contained a massive spoiler. But I'll put it here within the Spoiler tags.

Another bit of business: this 'Lilly dead by the pool' was re-shot later. Originally, Lilly was found in the ocean, and I had a plan for how everything went down. But when the series got ordered the network asked to hear my overall plan, and they just felt like it was too dark and creepy. It would have meant that Jake Kane actually disposed of his own daughter's body in the ocean, in order to cover up for his son Duncan. They decided that was too dark, and we came up with this compromise.

Now back to our regurarly scheduled pictures...

I think I'm in love (although I have said this many times possibly in this forum about the lovely K-bell.

I wish our names could be combined into a super name like bennifer

Is it my imagination or is that outfit Princess Leah's from Return of the Jedi?

That is exactly what it is and why it is sooooo hot.

I didn't think it was possible for her to get even hotter...then someone puts her in the Princess Leia slave costume.

:up:

[aadam101]

I just checked out IMDB and she has done a lot of movies. I assume they are mostly indi films because I have never heard of them.

Bumping for the weekday crowd.

[Magnolia88]

Thanks!

The VM S3 premiere is tomorrow (woo hoo!) so I guess this is the CW's attempt to promote it. I really hope it gets (much) better numbers than it did on UPN, or VM may have a very short third season. It has four weeks to find new viewers before House comes back to the 9pm slot.

[steelcurtain]

Too bad TLLS isn't in HD, but I'll be watching anyway. Thanks for the reminder!

[LoadStar]

:confused: :eek: I thought House was remaining in the 8:00 slot for the season... you mean when it returns, it's moving to 9:00, across from Veronica? Augh.... and I thought I was safe on Tuesday nights. :(

Well I would rather it compete against House than AI.

[LoadStar]

True, I suppose.

[Magnolia88]

I believe House returns to the Tuesday at 9pm slot on October 31. I could be wrong about the exact date, but I know it's coming back to 9pm (ET) after baseball is over, whenever that is.

[5thcrewman]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy! I can't wait until the episode thread starts!

[Magnolia88]

Kristen Bell welcomes you to the CW (http://www.cwtv.com/). (And shows a snippet of the S3 premiere.) I think that clip is for today only.

[mwhip]

Still not happy that DirecTV does not have a contract to show the Dallas CW station in HD yet. Hopefully next week. :(

[Zevida]

I saw at Target today that the Veronica Mars season 1 DVD set is on sale for $18.99 (along with some The OC, Gimore Girls, West Wing and maybe something else). I already have a set but I almost wanted to buy another because it was so cheap...just couldn't think of anyone to give it to.

[mmilton80]

She really is gorgeous. If she were president...she'd be babe-raham lincoln

You can give it to me. We don't have Target here.

The Neptune Pirate Radio podcast was encouraging people to buy a set for their local library. Ups purchased DVDs and exposes it to a wider audience.

This is a site about her hotness, my friend.

I think I have to bid:

[mwhip]

Over $600 now which is too rich for my blood. I did a max bid of $200 but that was squashed pretty early.

New boobs?

No new boobs (http://www.wireimage.com/GalleryListing.asp?navtyp=CLB&str=21735&styp=clbi&nm=Kristen+Bell&nbc1=1). I'm not sure what you mean, because she looks the same to me. She's just strategically posed in that one shot. You men are so easily fooled. ;)

I don't feel like going back to read the entire thread, but I think the Maxim pictures need to be revisited if not already. :D

Posted today at 11:19am. That's cruel. Very cruel.

[NoThru22]

She is hot. That outfit is most certainly not.

[JimSpence]

This outfit may be better.

[Amnesia]

Is that a real photo? What's the source?

[Magnolia88]

It's real (http://www.paper-flower.com/kristenbell/photoshoots?gkpgiulianobekor).

[gilmoregirls102]

I own two copies of the Veronica Mars Season 1 box set for just this reason. PM me if your interested in a box set loan.

Haha, I am glad to know I am not alone in doing this!
I have 3 copies of season 1 and 2 so I can loan 2 out at a time, and still have MY copies...

I am obsessed with this show right now... I have the mousepad and calendar at work... and I bought my little sister a shirt that says, "Nobody Likes a Blonde in a Hamster Ball" I know... pathetic.

I also have saved all of season 3 on my TiVo... in case someone new gets hooked.
It's my mission to keep the show on the air, it's the best.

My bumper sticker of course reads: "If you have a problem with Veronica, your pretty much dead to me."
Well put, Logan, well put.

[Zevida]

My bumper sticker of course reads: "If you have a problem with Veronica, your pretty much dead to me."

But that's missing the best part of that line!

"So just, like, evaporate or something."

So true.

I hope your bumper sticker doesn't have the same grammar mistake. ;)

[mwhip]

There is a rumor floating around out there that KB is to star in the broadway version of Xanadu as Kira this summer during hiatus of the show.

Looks like I may be taking a trip to NYC this summer. :D

[JimSpence]

I thought that VM was ending, thus there will be no hiatus.

[mwhip]

I thought that VM was ending, thus there will be no hiatus.

That theory has not been proven!!!! Let's remain optimistic. :D

Heads up for those without a ARWL on Kristen Bell:

[JimSpence]

If you go to that website you can also find a preview of KB.

Okay I set that up to record, hopefully I don't lose my man card! :D

[JimSpence]

BTW, I believe VM resumes 5/1.

[gilmoregirls102]

I hope your bumper sticker doesn't have the same grammar mistake. ;)
HAHA, no- that was me... oops! :o

[Robin]

That's weird. The site says it's on tonight at 10, but DTV shows the ep tonight at 10 as having an OAD of yesterday, and no useful guide info.

The one at 10 conflicts with something so I picked the next one. We'll see!

[Dubbadown]

Now that VM is officially over, :mad: at least we can look forward to her new movie, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. YOWSA!!!!

Kristen Bell in a Bikini (http://justjared.buzznet.com/2007/05/30/kristen-bell-bikini-pictures/)

[JimSpence]

Sigh!

[mmilton80]

wow

[lambertman]

Daaamn!

Why didn't anybody ever mention she had her own TV show?? ;)

[tewcewl]

wow is right.

[mwhip]

Just a bump to say Happy Birthday to my fake TV girlfriend.

[Magnolia88]

MTV on the set of KB's new movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall (http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2007/07/13/adventures-on-set-forgetting-sarah-marshall/).

There is a video clip from the movie of KB in character.

[gilmoregirls102]

I watched the season finale of season 1 again last night. (I have seen it at *least* 20 times... maybe more)

Made me remember why I love this show so much.

[JimSpence]

I know that is a photo shoot, but wearing high heels while in a bikini is sooooo wrong.

[Amnesia]

I don't think that's a photo shoot at all.

[Swirl_Junkie]

Actually, I think that's from Hero's. And people have been talking about her powers because of stuff onlookers saw during the filming where these photos were taken. I won't ruin it as all things hero's should be secret... but if you search around ya might find out her rumored superpower.

[JimSpence]

If you look closely, you'll see a hand with a light meter in several shots. That's not to say they weren't shot on the Heroes set.

[mwhip]

And is now apparently single:

I'll be in LA if anyone needs me.

[rockislandmike]

Have you rented the season one DVD and started from the beginning?

One of our Canadian cable channels started showing it from the beginning and got through the first season and started the second, then dumped it from their lineup. Quite disheartened, I should probably go buy the DVD's for the rest of the years, it's an awesome show.
