Dick Casablancas Is Pretty Fly for a White Guy

A couple weeks ago I shared a Dick Casabancas music video and I recently came across another one and since I (heart) Dick I just had to share it with you. So click play and enjoy Dick, who I have to say, is indeed Pretty Fly for a White Guy.

Keith's Movie Collection

Unfortunately this was one of the pictures I took unknowingly I had switched to a lower resolution, so it's hard to make out the movie titles, but if my memory is correct, I believe they were mostly monster movies, although no House of Wax because the Hilton girl gives the Mars family nightmares. But I'm pretty sure the picture on the upper shelf is that of Kristen Bell.

Rat Saw God

Beaver was MIA again on last night's repeat of Veronica Mars so no forshadowing his evilness. But one thing I remember watching again and again during the first time around trying to figure out exactly what was taped to the bottom of the seat. I came to the conclusion that it was the remains of the bomb, but we all know now that it was in fact a rat. Of course in hindsight that seems obvious because the title of the episode was Rat Saw God.

Deputy Sacks vs Osama bin Laden

One story that I been holding off for a while, is this one involving the picture above. I was one of the people while on the set of Veronica Mars who was looking at every small detail looking for hidden things and none bigger than what I found on Deputy Sacks desk. If you look at the name on the top folder, it is Osama bin Laden (much apologies for my not so reliable camera if you are unable to read it). I actually asked creator Rob Thomas about this but unfortunately I didn’t have my recorder with me at the time because they said we could leave our stuff in Java the Hutt while we went to some other sets, but then Rob showed up while we were at the Neptune Police Station and I asked him about it around that time, so this will be paraphrased.

So while walking to the next set, which I believe was the Mars Apartment, I asked Rob, “I noticed that Sacks has a file on Osama bin Laden on his desk. Is he going to hunt him down in Iraq later this season much Arrested Development went there this past season to get Saddam Hussein?” This got a laugh out of Rob then he went on to talk about how the kids were going to guest on an upcoming episode and about Veronica Mars being bleeped out by Fox during the Arrested Development finale. For those who have read much of my talks with Rob, he tends to laugh at my questions, and then avoids them by changing the subject.

I wouldn’t have given a second thought to Rob avoiding the Iraq question, that is until, on our way between sound stages, we passed this, a whole area that looked like urban Iraq Theater of war with Arabic signs and all.





Now my mind raced with speculations that I was right about Sacks going to Iraq when Rob said the second season finale would span continents. Although now that the finale has come and gone, we know that the Middle East wasn’t one of those places. But maybe I ran across something for season three? Just remember you heard it here first when Sacks comes back with the head of Osama bin Laden.

Neptune Police Station 1

It's got to be nice living in Southern California where you can have a company picnic in the middle of February. Granted Lamb must be a little lazy at updating this board considering it was the end of February during my set visit to Veronica Mars not to mention it was around April when the episode aired.

Cupid

Nothing really interesting this week on Veronica Mars in terms of foreshadowing, but one thing I did notice this time around was a certain show Jackie plans on watching a certain show called Cupid (click for a better view). For those not in the know, Cupid was another show Rob Thomas created starring Jeremy Piven, now of Entourage, and Paula Marshall who has shown up occasionally as Veronica's guidance counselor. And for those less in the know and are thinking the dude from Matchbox Twenty, check out No, Not That Rob Thomas.

Keith's Bedroom

We rarely get a look inside of Keith's bedroom on Veronica Mars, but here's a picture from my set visit. You gotta love anyone who still rocks the old school typerwriter. And I'm not positive, but I think that's actually Kristen Bell's picture.

Neptune Police Station 5

A look at the current at what the Neptune police department were working on back during my set visit to Veronica Mars. It looks like this perp was just set dressing as the guy depicted on the board never made it on screen. Too bad they didn't have something blatent like having the perp name being Cassidy.

Neptune Police Station 4

Keeping with the Neptune Police Station I started yesterday, here is the back wall of the station chalk filled with evil does. Granted I have a feeling Keith and Veronica Mars have found more of these people than sheriff Lamb and his boys. As always, click for a closer look.

Neptune Police Station 3

Here's a picture of Neptune's very own sheriff, Don Lamb. Apparently we caught him on the one day he was out catching bad guys, or more likely setting up the wrongfully accused. But hey, they are one in the same for Neptune's finest.

Grace Manning

Much like the other repeats this season, I found some major hint in last night's episode of Veronica Mars. Even though Beaver was MIA, I didn't realized how horrified Grace Manning looked in this episode, a few weeks before we saw her trapped in the closet. Although this was long after R. Kelly made stylish.

Dick Rules

Long time readers here and at the 9th Green know how I (Heart) Dick, but it's fellow Veronica Mars Press Day Blogger silkgrl (see sidebar for her link) that created a video for the lone Casablancas left in Neptune (well asides from Not-Kendall). Click play to check it out:

Scooter McGavin's New Job

On my visit to the set of Veronica Mars, they actually let me play with the marker (which I believe is the technical term, I call it the Pac-Man chomper thingie). If you enlarge the picture, you can see I was there for episode 18 which was I Am God or Veronica see dead people. What you can't see thanks to the weird thing that seems to be covering my head (I really need to get a better camera) are the headphones that I seemed to monopolized for most of the visit. Oh, and just to let you know, just out of frame over my left shoulder is Veronica and Evil Beaver.

Veronica Mars/Everwood News

TVFan over at Pass the Remote has some more interesting Veronica Mars news that I'm again too lazy to copy and paste it here so stop by there to read it especially if you are an Everwood fan because it also involves that show too. You will have to scroll down past the Cold Case part to read though. I'll be back here on Monday with more pictures from the set of Veronica Mars and hopefully the next one will be better lit than yesterdays.

Neptune High School Classroom

Okay, so the light were not on in the classroom while I was on the set of Veronica Mars, but I went ahead and took a picture anyways. I believe this class was set up for English, but most likely was used for one of the study halls that were used near the end of the season. It is a little easier to see things if you click on the picture to enlarge.

Veronica Mars News

There's some cool Veronica Mars news that I'd like to share in lue of another of my on-set pictures. First the official season three trailer is up on the CW website, so click the link to see. Personally I think there's not enough Dick, but at least there's no Black Eyed Peas soundtrack.

Then over at Pass the Remote, has a post on how to ensure a full season three pick up, so I advise you to check that out as I'm too lazy to even copy and pasted. So check out the link to see what you can do.

Lilly Kane Memorial 2

Like I teased Friday, there is an interesting story behind the Lilly Kane Memorial. If you look at the poem engraved, it's heart warming right? Well it was actually taken from an unaired episode of Freaks and Geeks and written in honored for one of the character's dead dog. For a closer look, click the picture to enlarge.

Lilly Kane Memorial

With the upcoming holiday, it only seems appropriate to post a picture of Neptune High School's own memorial, that was dedicated to Lilly Kane during season one of Veronica Mars. But don't forget to pour some out for the real people who sacrificed their life for the country sometime this extended weekend too. Then check back Tuesday when I resume posting with a another shot of the memorial along with a story behind it.

Neptune High Graduation 10

Here is the last of the official photos courtesy of UPN/Warner Bros from the Veronica Mars finale. Tomorrow it's back to my pictures from the set of the show (unless I'm lazy, then they will return after the Memorial Day Weekend).

Neptune High Graduation 9

I still have a couple pictures left over from the Veronica Mars finale so here's on of the proud papa courtesy of UPN/Warner Bros.
