I'm not an avid MySpace or YouTube user, I'm even less of a lonelygirl15 watcher.. or fan.. or addict, or whatever the hell you call people who watch the lonelygirl15 videos constantly.

This is an interesting read, and I love shit like this. Guerilla style film-making utilizing 2 of the internets most popular websites. A girl making video diaries who's homeschool by her religious parents that don't know she's making the videos. An interesting hook to say the least.

If you don't know anything about "Lonelygirl15" I suggest giving that link a read, its pretty interesting.

    Oh man, I haven't been following this, but just by looking at two vids it seems pretty obvious this is directed by a professional. The slick editing alone, not to mention the camera work, staging, etc.

    Sleuthing stuff is fun though, no doubt.

    Yuck. More like the birth of a giant turd. Press release should read:

    Pretentious film students get together with an audience of voyeurs and pedophiles to plumb new depths in inanity.

    I mean, I watched this turgid bag of shit (the video) so that I would know for sure it was exactly as bad as I thought it would be. I mean, people actually watch this for fun?

    I have watched people getting torn apart by jeeps, or their heads cut off, just for the novelty of it, but what is new or interesting about some teenage twat bitching about highschool? Isn't that what every teenage bitch does for a living? This is like a perfect storm of shit I hate.

    aaand your opinion of what's "good" suddenly becomes worthless

    how can you knock people for watching some pretty high school chick when you watch, by choice, "people getting torn apart by jeeps". Or are you one of those people that sees no problem with graphic violence but recoils in terror when they see a nipple?

    I didn't even bother watching any of these lonelygirl vids... it'll just be X amount of time I'll never get back

    My point was, that since I am in the business of producing graphic violence, I ought to get the fucking details right.

    This on the other hand is the type of garbage I wish I could avoid hearing but can't because there are always stupid bitches yammering about this exact type of crap everywhere I go. The store, the coffee shop, the fast food restaurant.

    But let me get this straight. My opinion is worthless because I watch violence to see what it's really like? I guess in your book anybody with a modicum of curiosity has a worthless opinion.

    Everyone who loves those horribly crappy reality TV shows will lap this filth up! I actually stumbled upon lonelygirl's stuff a month ago, her ditzy rambling made me want to take a mallet to my cranium, but eh, the responses were kinda funny, especially the ones from old fat middle aged men! Apparently some people like their emo teenage angst, but no thanks for me.

    The game dev video blogs the have sometimes on gametrailers.com? Now thats what I like!

    The computer screen is the retina of the mind's eye. Therefore, the computer screen is part of the physical structure of the brain. Therefore, whatever appears on the computer screen emerges as raw experience for those who watch it. Therefore, lonelygirl15 is real and you are fake.

    novelty:

    1. state or quality of being novel, new, or unique; newness:

    Yeah. I watched it because It was new to me. In other words, I didn't know what it was like because I hadn't watched it. Learn english first before trying to correct mine.

    Sorry everybody. It seems I'm in the mood to disturb shit, but I'll cut it out.

    I hate those damn things. People filming themselves talking. Usually, it's about something that's been on the news forever. I fucking hate when people do that.

    The last one? Was meant to be. Fake, started as an inside joke to a friend of hers doing a very similar act.

    She seems nice. So what's up exactly then.. There are a couple of filmmakers writing lines for her and directing her in these videos?
    A thing I have noticed is the lack of moderation on youtube. The amount of rascist and offensive replies that are beeing posted on any video up there, is pretty astounding.
    I am not shocked by this but I do wonder what is up with so much hate in there, because I find the concept of youtube quite nice.
