You all read about the Veronica Mars Kickstarter, right? As you might have guessed, I jumped right on that bandwagon. I actually donated before I even watched the pitch video, which was so awesome that I actually felt like donating again. (Logan smouldering! Keith pulling a Gollum! Dick Casablacas being Dick Casablancas!) I know there are people who think it’s somehow crass for Rob Thomas to use Kickstarter to finance a movie like this (though he himself explains why he needed to do it), but to me it’s just artistic patronage. I paid $50 because I want to live in a world with a Veronica Mars movie in it. I want to know I contributed to it. And I really, really want to find out that somehow Piz died in the intervening years. Right?
