Do I need to read more than "that Tom Hiddleston/Tilda Swinton vampire movie by Jarmusch" to swoon? No, I do not. But I will (eventually), because I'm sure I can swoon more.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.
I was thinking of you as I read it, Jilli!
It's starting to feel like I am the precise target market for the movie. I AM TOTALLY FINE WITH THAT IDEA.

Hell yeah!
The first thing I heard about that movie was not long after Avengers came out, when someone posted somewhere that she'd gotten Hiddleston's autograph and he was so sweet and accommodating but he was in costume as a vampire for his new movie and all bloody. I didn't believe it, because it was TOO PERFECT.

An article from the Salt Lake Tribune about the production and marketing of Veronica.
Veronica Mars was very fun. It is definitely a film for fans and it's good if you have the show fresh in your mind as there are many, many call backs to the series throughout.
Do you think people who haven't seen it will enjoy it?
Hard to say. It's well done I think, but it definitely had an extended TV episode vibe.
I thought it did a pretty good job of providing background and explaining context, but the critic I went with hadn't watched the series since it was on and knew he was missing a lot of inside jokes.

Or a compressed TV season vibe.
At the afterparty, a couple industry people who had only ever seen one or two episodes said they still loved it. Anyone who goes in with no background will know they're missing something because obvs but it won't affect the appreciation of the actual story of the movie.
