Sharon and I have been completely taken with the television show, Veronica Mars. My sister-in-law Joanne thought that we'd enjoy the show, and lent us the first season on DVD. She was dead-on. For a show about teenagers, it appeals to adults with its well-written duologue and interesting plot lines.
On the surface, people will say - who would want to watch this show? It's on a lower-tier network, and has guest stars like Harry Hamlin and Steve Guttenberg. Yet it is awesome, as it has no elements of a 90210 or The O.C. with corny plots and horrible acting.
As an early Christmas gift, I gave Sharon the second season of VM. Costco had it for under 23 bucks. If you have a few extra bucks and some time on your hands, I strongly recommend giving the show a chance. Kristen Bell, who plays Veronica, is a fantastic actress. Bell, from Huntington Woods, has been in shows like Deadwood and The Shield. Also, she as appeared in the movie
Spartan with Val Kilmer and the opus Pootie Tang.
In 2007, Bell will star in a movie that looks funny to me. Fanboys is a comedy about a group of slackers who want to view Star Wars I - The Phantom Menace (or how I learned to hate Jar Jar) .
Here is a YouTube video montage of season 1 of Veronica Mars set to one of the greatest covers ever, Mad World by Gary Jules. Hope that you enjoy it.
your blogging has become so good its scary.
