Not that this keeps me up at night, but celebrities and Hollywood and people of wealth using kickstarter are pretty much abusing its original purpose. Kickstarter, at its core is really meant for independent filmmakers who aren't in the position and don't have the resources (i.e. the wealth) in getting a film made. Of course Hollywood would take advantage of this because it's free money. Bell and these people are millionaires and THEY can't fund this themselves?
Fincher and Whoopi Goldberg did the same thing.... why do they need to? So they can't get funding for a film. Boo hoo. Try and go through the flaming hoops like everyvody else does. Of course kickstarter doesn't care, because they get 5% from this. And they'll continue to because it seems like Hollywood has found a way in getting free money. I mean it's genius: getting the people to pay for a film instead of them who are in a much better position to do it anyway. So we just give it to them.... Worst of all, if this movie ia a huge success, you won't see a dime. It would only just add money to the studios who are getting this free money. This is also a SAG issue. You pay and get a speaking role? So instead of the SAG actor who's been working their ass off to get auditions are going to lose out to a rich douche who easily pays 10,000 dollars like it's nothing to talk in a movie? This is poor character on Bell's part. How she can just look into a camera and ask us for money for them. I'm coming from the perspective of being a part of a kickstarter campaign myself. My major is adapting a Stephen King short story and compared to them... shouldn't that money be going to people like us? In three days they are already over two million. And worse, they tell you to not stop donating. It's going up as I write this. And we have **** compared to them. So who are the donors going to be more inclined to donate to? Rich established celebrities where you can get to talk in a film or for an college educational program like us? Tell me how that's fair. I think we, the people who aren't even making this film for a profit, should be getting at least a couple thousand of this money, since that is our goal. But unfortunatly, we aren't famous celebrities who are known and can take money like this and gain tens of thousands every thirty seconds. Nope, just people trying harder in getting money, because we need it more. I hope this doesn't become a rising trend.Because this could be terrible for independent filmmakers if this continues.

Agreed. I want a proper ending and I'm happy us VM fans are going to get one. I'd be even happier if we got a 13 episode series wrap up 4th season on Netflix but a movie will do.

They've corralled the show's fans into showing the support and will be able to give the fans what they want in return. I don't think they're abusing the system at all...

People on the intertubes cry about every single thing. Believe me I've done my share of *****ing about certain things but I don't even compare to these know it all web masters.

I just started watching this series. I heard great things about it in the past but I never got around to watching it while it was still airing. Simply put, I love it. I'm glad the kickstarter was a success and look forward to the film.

Yeah, that episode was the point where I was seriously, officially, hopelessly hooked. Episode 12 just cemented that love. That's the episode I tell the uninitiated to watch up to, and if they're not hooked by then, they never will be and should drop it. Unsurprisingly, everyone I've told that to became devoted converts.

Take note of season one and the use of muted green hues throughout, gives it a real noir feeling which I love. Season 1 and 2 are near perfect detective stories.

I can see both arguments. This can hurt indy projects, and may get neglect as more and more 'bigger' projects jump into the Kickstarter trend. For example, a cool project like Paisley, which is a short film that pays homage to Gremlins by using puppets for its creature effects (see here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...-creature-film) may not hit its target.
BUT, on the other side of the coin, this is the ultimate supply and demand. People are speaking up and are willing to pay up for content for cancelled shows like 'Mars'. It shows that corporate 'Big Data' could be an outdated concept in Hollywood and this is the ultimate pro-consumer push. I don't know. It's a double edged sword.

Basically paying money for something shows you're willing as opposed to just talking about it or signing a petition. Aside from physical sacrifice, money is the second biggest sacrifice.

So I started a re-watch myself this weekend, and I forgot just how many awesome people were in this before they were famous. I'm on Disc 3 and have already come across Amanda Seyfried (of course, that one I didn't forget), Melissa Leo, Jessica Chastain, Max Greenfield, Jane Lynch and Aaron Paul.

I remember when I first read about the role Max Greenfield would be playing on New Girl and going "lol wut?!" because Schmidt is so different from Leo on VM. Now, I can't imagine him being anything other than Schmidt. I haven't even watched any of his episodes of VM since New Girl started. I imagine that will be quite a trip.
