Did you know that Veronica Mars was originally conceived as a boy?

Ever been confused when a fellow MM discussed “Logan Hewitt” or “Samantha and Duncan Cain”?

Searched out Rob Thomas’ audio commentary for the extended pilot, only it was nowhere to be found on the DVDs?

Wondered what lines of Veronica’s inner monologue were eventually cut from the movie?

Wanted to read a bio piece detailing Bonnie DeVille’s tragic fall from grace?

Well, you’re in luck! 🍀 Here are a few treats, marshmallows. Enjoy!

“It was hard to connect Series!Carrie to the Movie!Carrie/Bonnie because of the casting change. Leighton Meester’s version was a brave confident woman with her I-don't-care what you think attitude. Bonnie was like a whole different woman. I could see Carrie with Logan but I couldn't see 'Bonnie' with Logan.”

I’m working on something (sshh) and I needed Bonnie DeVille album covers… so here’s a first draft of her discography in order.

“Why Rob insisted that Carrie had to be in the movie? Why not just make Bonnie DeVille as a new character? He made Cobb and Della/Ruby as new characters, and it worked. Why not make Logan fell in love with Bonnie, who happened to be in Neptune high too if he wanted to put her pictures in the reunion? Why it had to be Susan's death that triggered the event? Why not create a bunch of new characters instead?"

“I laughed when I saw a glimpse of Logan and Bonnie’s sex tape. It looked so boring.”

“Minka Kelly would make a better Carrie/Bonnie.”

“Concerning Carrie Bishop: I have to say that I found it fatal in the movie that they chose this character to be the center of the story and changed the actress. They could have chosen any other character or a different actress when Leighton Meester couldn't reprise her role. But hey, what can you do? It's been done. But I do feel that the movie could've done better.”

"I am forever wondering what the Veronica Mars movie would have been like with Leighton Meester."
