Last time on Weekly Link Love we featured some Twitter accounts we love to follow. This week we’re focusing on a different platform and highlighting some Instagram favorites instead.

That’s right, it’s time for another edition of Weekly Link Love. As we’ve said before, this is place where we call attention to websites, blogs, videos, socials (including cool Instagram accounts) or other people & places we think you should know about.

Sure, some may not like Instagram, especially after it was purchased by Facebook. But it still remains one of the best places to showcase your creative work and potentially build a large fanbase. Plus, there’s lot of great artists we admire who show their work on Instagram. So, for us, that makes it a worthwhile platform.

You may have heard of none, some, or all of these Instagram folks. And yes, we know we’ve featured a few of them in previous Weekly Link Love posts, but they’re worth your time so we’re link loving them again!

And, of course, there’s so many more we follow and love. We can’t list them all. This post would be way too long. Instead, these are but a sample.

Okay? Okay. As always, don’t forget to spread the love. Now, on to the links!

Chris Lowell – You know him from Veronica Mars and Glow, but he’s also a great photographer too. Check out his work. 

Conor Leslie – Badass superhero on TV’s Titans and badass photographer and person too. 

Felicia Day – What can we say? No list of people on Instagram nerd’s love would be complete without this person. 

History of Cinema – So many great photos taking you through cinema’s past. A great account, especially if you love movies like we do.

Jack Black – This man has helped us tremendously during quarantine by being damn funny in his own backyard. Thank you Jack.

Jason Momoa – Really needs to explanation. He’s just cool and a great guy.

Kat Swansey – Kat’s photos of rural Texas towns are really exceptional. If you want to experience the “real” Texas, this is the account for you.

Kodak Film – We still love film and still love the way it looks. If you’re a film lover too, this is an account for you. 

Marisha Ray – We love Critical Role (obviously) and Marisha is one of our favorite cast members. She’s also a cool human too.

Matt Day – We keep coming back to this guy, but we love his work. If you want to see what excellent photography looks like, check out this man’s Instagram. 

Negative Feedback – We’ve learned a lot from this gentleman. He’s a talented photographer and one of the first to extoll the virtues of film on Instagram and YouTube.

Ryan Muirhead – Another photographer who’s work inspires us. 

Sam Riegel – If we had to pick a favorite member of the Critical Role team, it would be Sam. Watch the show and you’ll understand why.

Sandy Phimester – Another photographer who’s talent we aspire too. His photos are amazing.

Taika Waititi – We like funny, talented people who make great art that forces you to think a bit too. If you like those things also, check out this person’s Instagram.

Wil Wheaton – He’s just this guy, you know?

Veronica Mars. Kickstarter. Most successful campaign in history.

What more do you need to know? Okay, here’s more. Veronica Mars, the little series that lasted three glorious years on tv, is back with a movie. And not just any movie, but one that was a result of the fans getting together and throwing down their hard-earned money to make it happen.

Now, with Comic-Con in full swing, the first footage (and more) from the Veronica Mars movie has been released. Yes, it’s been ten years and yes almost everyone is back.

Veronica is a big city lawyer but gets pulled back into investigating one more case when something bad happens at her High School reunion. Will she figure it out in time to save more people from being hurt or killed? What do you think?

Check out the footage after the break. Look for the Veronica Mars movie to arrive in 2014.

It should be no surprise that we support Sci-Fi around here. Even when it’s spelled Syfy. Regardless of how you spell it, a cool syfy show is a cool sci-fi show.

Two of these cool shows are Warehouse 13 and Defiance, which has just been renewed for a second season. Both air on Monday nights on Syfy and we’ve got preview for Monday’s new episodes to share with you today.

First off, during an all-new Defiance, Amanda & Nolan take a transport across the badlands to transport a prisoner. Of course, things don’t go as planned. Shocking, right?

Then on Warehouse 13, it’s a black-and-white, noir episode with guest stars Missi Pyle and Enrico Colantoni. Those crazy kids from Galaxy Quest back together again. Good times indeed.

It all start Monday at 9/8C on Syfy with Defiance followed by Warehouse 13. Check out all the previews after the break.

This week on an all-new episode of The Flickcast, Matt is back from vacation and has no problem sharing highlights from his trip. But wait, there’s more.

Actually, it’s hard to describe just what happens during this week’s show, but suffice it to say, it’s a wild one. And yes, one of the boys (if not both) manage to offend someone this week. Shocking, right?

They also make some picks this week including Matt’s pick of an obscure indie movie called Would You Rather? and Chris’ pick of the awesome show Veronica Mars, which he says is on Netflix but it really isn’t. He lies.

If you’re one of the many fans who were more than a bit disappointed when the CW pulled the plug on Veronica Mars, you may have something to finally be happy about. That’s right, thanks to Kickstarter, the often-discussed movie version of the show might just end up becoming a reality.

Instead of waiting for a studio or other entity to fund a movie version of the show, series creator Rob Thomas and star Kristen Bell have decided to take the matter into their own hands and ask the fans to fund the project via Kickstarter. And fund they have.

In less than twelve hours since the Kickstarter was launched, the Veronica Mars campaign had already broken the $100,000 mark. In fact, it’s already over $500,000 at this point. They’re looking to raise $2,000,000 in the next 30 days and who knows, at this rate, they might just get there.

Getting a movie made this way is pretty awesome and opens up a whole buch of possibilities for other fan-favorites being funded this way. Firefly reunion movie anyone?

So, if you want to see a Veronica Mars movie, now’s your chance to help make it a reality. For more, check out the video after the break.

UPDATE: They are now over $2,000,00 and it only took about 12 hours. Amazing.

We’ve been fans of Amanda Seyfried since her days as Lilly Kane, Veronica Mars’s dead best friend on the sadly short-lived show of the same name. She’s come a long way since then and has been very busy starring in several films,

On of them is the upcoming thriller Gone. In the film Seyfried stars as Jill Parrish who comes home from working the night shift to discover that her sister Molly has suddenly disappeared.

Convinced that Molly has been abducted by the same serial killer from whom she escaped just a year before, and that by sundown Molly will be dead, Jill embarks on a race against time to rescue her. The film also stars Wes Bentley, Jennifer Carpenter and Sebastian Stan.

Check out the trailer after the break. Look for Gone to arrive on February 24.

It’s hard not to be at least curious about a show called Friends with Benefits. After all, who among us hasn’t secretly wanted to sleep with an attractive friend and, bonus, have no strings attached? I see some hands raised out there.

That little revelation bring us to the new NBC show called, wait for it, Friends with Benefits — which has nothing to do with the recent movie of the same name, by the way. This show, which features Veronica Mars and Party Down alumni Ryan Hansen along with Danneel Ackles, Zach Cregger, Andre Holland and Jessica Lucas, is about a group of singles in their twenties and their romantic ups and downs as they try to maneuver the dating world. I know, I know.

Anyway, to help spark your interest, we’ve got some previews for the how for you right now. In them you get to meet Sara and Ryan, two close friends looking for love. Ben may be picky, but at the end of his date, he might be justified while Sara starts to worry about her future.

Friends with Benefits premieres tomorrow night (Friday) at 8/7C on NBC. I’m going to give it a shot because of Hansen. Click through to check out the previews.

This week on The Flickcast, Chris and Matt are back and ready to talk about a whole bunch of new and sorta new topics. Yes, they sometimes repeat themselves. But with 70 shows in the can, it’s bound to happen sometimes.

This week sees the boys talking about some of the new TV premieres this week including HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, Hawaii Five-O, season four of Chuck, The Event and more. They also discuss the merit of Disney movies, the return of other shows including The Big Bang Theory, Ryan Reynolds next projects, Jon Hamm as Superman, the awesomeness and success of Halo Reach and more.

Chris and Matt also made some picks this week including Matt’s pick of the awesome Veronica Mars and and Chris’ pick of the upcoming David Fincher film The Social Network.

In the first installment of TV Digest: Canceled, I talked about shows such as Moonlight, Jerico and Studio 60 that were gone too soon. This time I’ve got more shows that were canceled way before their time, and are a testament to both how amazing television can be but also how nearsighted executives can be when making the decision to cancel a show.

While these shows may no longer grace our television sets with shiny, fresh new episodes, they live on in our hearts and on our DVD shelves. These are what I consider to be the most beloved canceled TV shows of our time.

Arrested Development

Produced by brilliant filmmaker Ron Howard and starring a slew of incredible actors, Arrested Development ran for three seasons from 2003-2006. Shot in a documentary style fashion, like The Office, the show is about the wealthy but seriously crazy Bluth family after their father gets arrested and their company faces bankruptcy.

Oldest son Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) is the glue that holds everyone together while siblings Gob (Will Arnett), Lindsay (Portia de Rossi) and her husband Tobias (David Cross), and Buster (Tony Hale) do their best to make a mess of things. I really can’t say enough about how good this show was.

Other than the incredible casting, this show has some of the best writing and comedic timing I’ve ever seen on television. I have watched all three seasons multiple times and I can watch an episode now and still find something brand new to laugh about, because of how well the writers reference old jokes and spin new ones in their wake.

But the show also can have these incredibly heartfelt moments, in between the insanity, that remind us how important it is to be a family despite how much money you have in the bank. And as the economy continues its slump, this crazy family in the midst of financial turmoil is looking far less eccentric and just plain average. As this show ages it becomes more and more relevant, and it becomes clearer and clearer just how great it is.

Despite all that, as well as numerous Emmy nominations and wins, the show was canceled. Luckily we’ll see more of the Bluth family soon, in a feature length movie that begins shooting this year.

Every month, I bring you dedicated readers my favorite TV shows of the moment. And while I love reporting on the latest and greatest in TV Land, what is also just as important to me are the dozens of shows that were canceled before their time.

Whether the ratings were bad or the shows were too expensive, many of TV’s best and brightest have been taken off the air before they have a chance to flourish. But while these shows had their untimely demise, these articles should hopefully resurrect them, at least in the form of you watching them and thinking they’re awesome.

Moonlight

So the reviews weren’t great and the show only lasted a season. But had Moonlight premiered a year or two later, it would have been a smash hit. Why? Because it’s all about vampires, and whether it’s TV, movies, or books, vampires are the hottest thing in media right now.  And while competing with HBO’s hit True Blood and CW’s mediocre The Vampire Diaries wouldn’t be easy, it would have at least stood a chance.

Canceled after 2008’s Writers Guild of America strike, Moonlight centered around Mick St. John, who turned vampire after being bitten by his bride on their wedding night. Years later he works as a P.I., protecting humans while hunting down the vampires who harm them. The show feels like a cross between Veronica Mars and Supernatural, while still being as focused on romance as the shows that have followed it.
