LG15 Spin-offs

2007-04-18T18:36:10Z

189.161.34.144:

In their post on November 24th, 2006 on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum lonelygirl15 message forum], the [[the Creators]] of [[lonelygirl15]] explained the various ways that viiewers could interact with their story. Along with viewers' ability to use the official forum to discuss the plot and characters with each other and post questions, comments and suggestions to the characters via the character interaction section of the forum, the Creators emboldened fans to "[c]reate your own characters and storylines within the [[Breeniverse]]." The post goes on to explain that once fans create such videos, this work can be submitted "as 'Video Comments' to a video we produce." Fans were encouraged to "Give [[Bree]] or [[Daniel]] advice. Create your own story (like [[LordGreystoke422]]) or make parody videos (like [[LonesomeOctober]])...you are only limited by your creativity." Many fans took up this challenge and began creating their own response videos. These fan-created videos are diverse in content, genre and production values.

Members of the official forum were given a section in which to discuss these fan-created works. The comments about these fan creations range from praise to criticism to lengthy discussions to occasional speculation about whether or not a video response is connected to the official story. One example of such speculation surrounding an official connection to the lg15 story has revolved around the video responses of [[Nikki Bower]], whose investigative report videos have been set in many of the same locations as [[canon]] videos. This speculation could be due to the fact that two official characters, [[Gemma]] and [[Jonas]], were introduced to the audience in videoblogs under the guise of fan responses. Once Gemma and Jonas were acknowledged by Bree in her videoblog, these two characters were understood to be an official part of the Breeniverse. Speculation about other videos revolved around the fan spin-off [[OpAphid]], which became the official [[Alternate Reality Game| ARG]] of the lonelygirl15 series. OpAphid is unique in the fact that it was not created by the lg15 production team, but was rather incorporated into the series. According to a post made on November 24th, 2006 on the official forum, the Creators stated that OpAphid "was a 100% fan created ARG. We liked it so much that we decided to contact the creator and make it the official LG15 ARG."

In this November 24th post, the Creators continue with the following statements: "We can't wait to see what other characters and storylines you guys come up with. Your creativity and passion is truly amazing." Although the producers of the lonelygirl15 saga encourage fan-created materials, they are careful not respond to, comment on, or endorse these videos in any way. Fan creations can be uploaded to users' personal [[Revver]] accounts, and can appear on the main page of the [http://lonelygirl15.com Tribute to Lonelygirl15 site] in a column next to the most recent lonelygirl15 video. Although referred to as "Fan Creations and Spin-offs" on the official forum, they are sometimes referred to by some viewers as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_fiction Fan Fiction]. This genre of fan-created video fiction is still developing and has yet to be named or specifically defined within the lexicon of fan-created endeavors.

'''Spanglish''' is the one hundred seventy-first video in the lonelygirl15 [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video series]].

==Transcript==

(''[[Daniel]] and [[Alex]] are seen on a beach from a distance walking/dancing/running hand in hand'')

'''Jonas:''' (''speaking in a British accent off screen'') Not two days we find out she's a good guy and he is all over 'er. (''Bree laughs'')

(''Cut to [[Jonas]] and [[Bree]] sitting together apparently watching Daniel and Alex'')

'''Jonas:''' Boom. It's disgusting. (''now losing the accent'') That felt like, it felt like a British moment. I'm not calling him uncle. I don't care if they have fifty, sixty kids; I am not calling him uncle. Now, seriously though, what you think? I mean, you, he's your friend too... is this not wrong?

'''Bree:''' I think it's fine. I mean he's a big boy and he can make his own decisions. I'm sure that his intentions are... honorable.

'''Jonas:''' Are you kidding me? Honorable!

'''Bree:''' -ish.

'''Jonas:''' There's nothing honorable going on over there.

'''Bree:''' You just need to find the right girl.

'''Jonas:''' Whoa... wait, we're not talking about me. I'm okay, trust me. We're talking about Aunt Fornicator down there.

'''Bree:''' (''laughs'') What?

'''Jonas:''' If they hook up it's going to be so awkward. Please don't. Ugh. Let's get outta here.

(''Cut to Jonas and Bree walking down a street'')

'''Jonas:''' So we left the lovebirds to their own devices, gross. (''Bree laughs'') And we decided to do a little exploring of old Mexico.

'''Bree:''' Yeah, stalking Alex and Daniel is not my idea of fun.

'''Jonas:''' Yeah, ummm I wasn't stalking them.

'''Bree:''' Okay, look you're paranoid. Just let whatever's gonna happen, happen.

'''Jonas:''' Oh, listen to you? When did you become the Zen Master?

'''Bree:''' That's right. I found my inner peace. (''laughs'')

'''Jonas:''' Yeah, well I got one thing to say to you on that one.

'''Bree:''' What?

'''Jonas:''' (''speaks mock Spanish'')

'''Bree:''' What is that?

'''Jonas:''' (''continues to speak mock Spanish'')

'''Bree:''' That is ''not'' Spanish.

'''Jonas:''' It's Spanish. It's a different dialect. (''continues to speak mock Spanish'')

'''Bree:''' That is ''not'' Spanish.

'''Jonas:''' It's ''so'' Spanish.

'''Bree:''' Oh no.

'''Jonas:''' (''points to Mexican woman standing by the sidewalk'') She understands exactly what I'm saying, right? (''Bree laughs'') See?

(''Cut to Bree standing on a beach'')

'''Bree:''' (''wearing a sombrero'') Okay, in an effort to cheer up Jonas, I have donned some of the local garb, and I'm now going to do a quick presentation of "Then and Now". A compare and contrast of our quaint little town in Mexico.

(''Cut to Bree in front of the water of what we understand to be Rosarito Beach'')

'''Bree:''' This is where the first residents lived. They were the Kumeyaay Indians and they called this place their home.

(''Cut back to Bree in the sombrero'')

'''Bree:''' These are some of today's residents. (''Footage of people playing soccer on the beach is seen'') I don't think they know what this place is called.

(''Cut to Bree standing somewhere in the city'')

'''Bree:''' Kumeyaay were absorbed by the Spanish missionaries who came here in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. They built many stone churches. (''a church bell is seen'') The Fransiscan monks who came to Rosarito beach had tremendous impact on the local Indian culture. They forced them to wear clothes, which they weren't accustomed to, and also trade up their tribal rituals for solemn prayer.

(''Cut to Bree standing by a busy street'')

'''Bree:''' As you can see, ''a lot'' has changed. I'm sure if you could ask the Kumeyaay Indians if they ever envisioned their sleepy little quiet town turning into this, they'd reach for the tequila and tell you, progress is progress (''shrugs'').

(''More footage of people on the beach as well as in the city is seen'')

'''Bree:''' (''facing the camera at Jonas'') What is it?

'''Jonas:''' I've just never seen you be sarcastic before, that's all.

'''Bree:''' That wasn't sarcastic, I was being genuine.

'''Jonas:''' Give me that. (''Jonas takes the camera and points it at Bree'') So, uh, what do you have against spring breakers, come on? Honestly?

'''Bree:''' Nothing. (''shakes her head and smiles'')

'''Jonas:''' Nothing? Say, say that with a straight face. I dare you. (''Bree smiles and starts to walk away'') I told you you can't say it. Say it.

'''Bree:''' Stop. (''Jonas laughs'') Nothing. (''Jonas laughs again'')

==Notes==
*This is the second time Bree, Daniel, and Jonas explicitly mention their location while on the run. The other time was in [[Vegas, Baby!]], in which the three revealed that they were in Las Vegas. They were abducted from that city in the following video, [[Subjects Apprehended]].
*Rosarito Beach, Baja, Mexico, is located about 20 miles south of San Diego. Here's a link to [http://www.rosaritoinfo.com/directions.htm directions from San Diego]. The linked site provides more information about the area.
*This is one of the few videos in which Bree and Jonas spend time alone together. Other videos in which they do this are [[Skateboarding]] and [[Snow Angels]].
*The song "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" by [http://www.wangchung.com/ Wang Chung] can be heard in the background of the final scene.
*Apparently the "Spanish" that Jonas is speaking is gibberish and unintelligible.
*"Spanglish," referred to in the title, is a non-technical name for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanglish various mixtures of Spanish and English], in which words or idioms from one language are used in the other.
*[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371246/ Spanglish] is also the name of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanglish_%28film%29 movie] that stars Adam Sandler, Tea Leoni and spanish actress Paz Vega. This is yet another movie reference from Jonas.
