Skip This (They Don't Deserve It): Veronica Mars

Not long ago, it warmed my little fangirl heart to see how much the fans LOVED the long-cancelled show, Veronica Mars when a Kickstarter account was started to fund a movie version of the show. I LOVED seeing the support the fans came up with and helped get their beloved show made into a movie. As a fangirl of SO MANY shows that were cancelled before their time, I can truly appreciate how gratifying this would've been to someone who love love loved a show.

Now, I never watched Veronica Mars, I'm not going to lie. Maybe I should have. Maybe I would have. I don't know. But, I can assure you that after attending the disaster premiere last night, I never will. EVER.

So, why did I go to the premiere, you ask? Good question. I went to see how cool it would be to watch a cast embrace their supportive fans (HA!). I went because my dear friend Mikey LOVES the show and spent a lot of his hard-earned money to fund the film (he even had a shirt with the above logo on it, which told any of the cast that HE WAS A FAN) and I hadn't seen him in a long time. But, mainly, I went because I'm a fan of a few of the cast members from their other shows (Chris Lowell from Private Practice, Ryan Hansen from 2 Broke Girls, Enrico Colantoni from Just Shoot Me, and Tina Majorino from Grey's Anatomy). Those are my favorite shows, and I was really hoping to see these people when they came to greet their supportive fans.

Instead, we got a big NOTHING. Zero. Zip. The Security team, which normally won't let people stand on the street near the red carpet, decided to let random tourists stand near the carpet (even though the fans who'd been waiting ALL DAY were across the street at the barricades which had been set up for them) and then escorted the few stars who decided to pose for pictures while signing autographs came over for a minute ONLY went to that one tiny corner. The ACTUAL fans across the street - you know, the ones wearing the "backer shirts" and holding beloved memorabilia? They got screwed.

It was so perplexing. I expected the complete opposite of what I witnessed. My poor friend Mikey looked so confused it was like he'd been shell-shocked. The ONE celeb who crossed the street - Chris Lowell - would only shake hands and take pictures. No autographs because "people could be dealers." Hey, how about just sign for your FANS and not try to figure out what happens to it afterwards. That's not really your concern. SO many people got screwed. Even me! All I wanted to see was Ryan Hansen and he came over FIVE MINUTES AFTER I LEFT. Boo. Stupid stupid premiere. Stupid cast. Stupid unappreciative people.
