Spotlight on Fandoms - Veronica Mars

Veronica Mars is a show that ran for three seasons that was created by Rob Thomas (no, not the singer) and and executive produced by Joel Silver. It's a show about a girl detective in Neptune, California. But Veronica isn't the Nancy Drew girl detective that you're used to.

Spotlight on Fandoms :: Empire Records.

What do you get when you take one music store, its wearied but hip owner, his zany and stereotypically varied staff, and a has-been pop star, mix it in with a franchise contract that goes against the carefree, c'est la vie rhetoric that embodies the youth of the mid-ninties, and stir it with a funky, psuedo-alternative soundtrack that will get more critical praise than the film itself, besides whacky hijinx?

Empire Records, that's what.

Check out the movie trailer, especially if you're lazy and don't want to read everything.


Damn the Man! )

Mitchell's the man. I'm the idiot. You're the screw-up. And we're all losers. Welcome to MusicTown. )

They're selling music, but not selling out )

That's all! Questions? Comments? Concerns? Seriously, I'm such a geek for this movie. I probably watched about four times a week in high school. No joke.

I'd also like to point out that this icon is erronous, in the fact that it suggests that I actually do like Rex Manning. OMG. My secret is out.
