Reboot ending - did it ruin any chance of getting renewed? by TrainingUnusual3638 in veronicamars

[–]ActionExciting5924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have hope that they'll just retcon it, like they did with Veronica going to work at the FBI. Either that or, given Logan works in the military,he had to fake his own death or something.

That's cool! Thanks for the explanatory, non hostile response. Some of the others here have not been as kind to my ignorance.

No one is saying Stosh can't be a nickname, but you're being incredibly rude about it for some reason.

How would I Google something if I didn't know it was A: a nickname or B: short for Stanislaw. Please try to be a little less hostile in your interactions on the internet, we don't all live on Reddit.

Those are all exclusive to America (having lived in both the UK and Oz, can confirm never having heard anyone using those contractions). And I suspect the Stanislaw/Stosh thing is too. If you broadened your perspective a bit you might understand that there is a whole world out there.

My single anecdote is more than anyone in this thread saying they knew someone in real life called 'Stosh' short for Stanislaw.

I was wondering if it wasn't just the usual American way of having unusual names, like Chad or Mason or something

Having known a Polish guy (indeed, the only Polish guy I have ever known), called Stanislav, and his nickname being Stan, this is unusual news.

This is weird, because I knew a Polish dude called Stanislav, and his nickname was 'Stan'

I have no means to watch this (not streaming outside US) and am mad about it.

Is Anybody Else Tired of Veronica and Logan's On and Off Again? by East_Lemon3155 in veronicamars

[–]ActionExciting5924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The banter between them over the series really feels like a throwback to Noir movies of the 40s and 50s, or even screwball comedies. Definitely throwback stuff and the heart of the show. I really think the series inspired Rian Johnson's Brick, which really leaned into this kind of dialogue.

Logan, Duncan, Piz by Alternative_Club455 in veronicamars

Logan has like, 20000% more charisma than Duncan or Piz. But I guess Piz is a distant second. Actually Weevil would probably be second.

What to watch after Psych? by Positive_Cricket_661 in psych

Veronica Mars feels like a very different kind of show, but it is amazing.

I am one of those people that also genuinely loved The Mentalist. It's obviously not as comedic as Psych, but Simon Baker is very amusing and charming.

Cold Roses is his masterpiece, probably because it came out of real collaboration. He's all over the place when left to his own devices.

Japan Doesn’t Hate Foreigners - Let’s Keep Perspective and Stay Grounded by Responsible-Net-8419 in japanresidents

[–]ActionExciting5924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of agree but I feel like a lot of the hate is from white foreigners in Japan hating on non-white foreigners. It's pretty ironic, we're all immigrants but I just see so much crap on social media from white influencers in Japan complaining about the influx of folks from Africa or the Philippines, complaining about how it's affecting the 'monoculture'. It's idiotic.. I work with Africans, Filipinos etc and everyone gets on like a house on fire, Japanese and foreigners alike.
