I'd giver her all seven if you know what I mean
 
So, let's a take a look at the VM Kickstarter:

http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/04/15/veronica-mars-kickstarter-grosses-57m

The Veronica Mars Kickstarter closed over the weekend, grossing a grand total of $5,702,153, and meaning that Kristen Bell’s private investigator will finally be making her big-screen bow.

Over the course of its brief life, the campaign set all manner of records, including…

Highest number of Kickstarter backers: 91,585.

Fastest project to reach $1m.

Fastest project to reach $2m.

All-time highest funded project in ‘Film’ category.

Third highest-funded project in Kickstarter history (trailing behind Ouya on $8.6m and the Pebble Watch on 10.3m).

The Veronica Mars movie will shoot this summer, while the film will also have a presence at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.

And MJH's Kickstarter to date:

$25,458

Oh hey, it went up since last I checked. Maybe it's gaining traction.

*Add $5.00 for shipping and handling.


I'm not familiar with kickstarter, if this doesn't reach $2million or more it's all for naught?

Impossible.
 
Update video: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/318676760/darcis-walk-of-shame/posts

I don't think this one's going to catch on.

"Hey you plebes I'm just checking in here from HOLLYWOOD! (did I mention HOLLYWOOD!? WHERE ALL THE FAMOUS PEOPLE ARE FROM!?!) give me money to make this movie that every studio on the planet has probably already passed on and don't even think is worth $2 million, which is chump change to most of them, it's sort of like The Hangover meets Bridesmaids meets Anchorman meets American Pie meets Caddyshack meets Monty Python's Holy Grail! And you will get a free totebag and someone will follow you on twitter!"

Lol yeah I noticed that too, it's like she wanted people to make sure they know she's in Hollywood.

MJH is awesome but yeah, this is not good.

I feel awkward watching that, she has to realize no one cares about her or this movie.

People might not care about the movie, but a lot of people still remember her Sabrina years and would probably back a new non kiddy movie of that.
 
This kickstarter project seems to be amazingly well thought out and planned:

FAQ said:
I live outside of the US and Canada but the reward I want has a DVD or digital download?

We are working on that. We are coming up with some new awards to fix the issue. I you have any ideas send an email.

I especially like how they ask for tips from interested backers. I'm not familiar with international movie distribution in any way (like MJH, heyoo!), but I somehow doubt that it's possible to sort stuff like this out in a watertight way in just over a month.

“Darci’s Walk of Shame” is the story of a woman who can’t seem to find the right guy. She’s stuck in a pattern of bad relationships and is constantly under the scrutiny of her entire extended family. When she takes a trip to a tropical resort to attend her sister’s wedding…alone, she makes a snap decision to take a risk and step outside the box and wakes up alone in a stranger’s bed, left to find her way back to her family and take a very long, confusing walk of shame in a ridiculously bright colored taffeta bridesmaid’s gown through the island paradise. Darci spends the rest of the movie trying to undo what she thinks is the biggest mistake of her life."
Haha, apparantly having a one night stand is the "biggest" mistake one can make in her life and how the hell can you "undo" sleeping with someone?? Also based on her IRL age, but she has to be playing a woman who is well into her 30's and at age she should already have her (shit) together, not bemoaning a one night stand.
That video is fucking awful. If she really wants money for this shitty vanity project, get more creative than begging people and using the same exact structure as the Veronica Mars project.
More like they copied the exact same text and substituted "Veronica Mars" for "Walk of Shame", even the reward milestones are the same. Except who would want MJH to follow them on twitter or moreso give a voicemail message.

Yeah I kinda feel bad for her now. This is pretty humiliating and isnt doing (whatever is left of) her career any favor.

While she's clearly not the movie star she wants to be, she *is* still working a regular television gig which is more than a lot of actors get. I feel bad for this Kickstarter being a massive ego burn but I don't feel especially bad for her, as she's still working and is a multi-millionaire.
