Now I'm sad you saw Veronica Mars first. The episode where she has jury duty is a total tribute.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

As is the Cupid episode "Hung Jury."
I [Rob Thomas] remained convinced that I could handle a 12 Angry Men-style bottle episode, but I ultimately proved myself wrong by attempting it on Veronica Mars and failing once again. I am unilaterally banning myself from any more attempts at a bottle episode in a jury room.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The "Charmed" version of 12 Angry Men is hilarious also.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I really enjoyed Burn After Reading - it's not up there with Fargo, but it's sharp and fast-paced and hysterically funny. JK Simmons is fantastically wonderful. Clooney does a great job parodying his Syriana character. Brad Pitt cracked me up.

An episode where all of the action takes place in one location, generally written to save money after a vfx or action-heavy ep.

I'm finally watching Casino Royale. I'm a bit disappointed that the best they could come up with for the villain banker is "Le Chiffre". Lame.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Isn't that what he was called in the book?

Very possible. If so, I think somehow that's even more disappointing.

I was watching Caché last night. I think it's one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. I stopped halfway. Is it worth continuing? I'm vaguely intrigued by the concept, but, God, is it slow.
