Veronica Mars Movie

Apparently some online thing to raise funds for a Veronica Mars movie raised the necessary funds in one day. And that’s great, but since Veronica Mars was a high school sleuth, I think the movie should be about Veronica Mars going to college. And what better thing to do with the movie than to have some big crime happen on campus, and all the cable news channels descend, with all their super-judgmental scandal-lawyer anchors, and they all say some innocent person is guilty, but Veronica Mars figures out the truth and discredits all the scandal-mongers on cable news. And for this, she’s smeared in the press and can never get a job anywhere after graduation, setting up the new movie: Veronica Mars: Private Eye! (And she can have all that combative smartass banter with news people, like Sam Spade had with the police.)
