Acting Out - "ON SET" (Brennan Hillard)

The Newtown Girls S01E06

"Balls!" The book club went well and Scarlet made some new friends, but alas there were no love connections made (for her at least). With an updated online-dating profile, she is already getting a stack of hits; as it turns out lesbians like sports, which now Scarlet likes too! But her next adventure into the world of digital dating leaves Scarlet lost and delirious. Will Scarlet risk life and limb to find the woman of her dreams or will faking sporting interests be her demise?

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries: Snobby Mr. Douchey Part 1

Regardless, watch Lydia and I reenact the events of the Gibson wedding for you. And then, next week, I'll give you the scoop on the rest of the evening.

CISPA Critics: Cybersecurity Act Will Increase Domestic Surveillance, Violate Privacy Rights

As it heads toward a House vote, critics say the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) would allow private internet companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft to hand over troves of confidential customer records and communications to the National Security Agency, FBI and Department of Homeland Security, effectively legalizing a secret domestic surveillance program already run by the NSA. Backers say the measure is needed to help private firms crackdown on foreign entities — including the Chinese and Russian governments — committing online economic espionage. The bill has faced widespread opposition from online privacy advocates and even the Obama administration, which has threatened a veto. We speak with Michelle Richardson, legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. To watch the complete independent, weekday news hour, read the transcript and download the podcast, please visit http://www.democracynow.org.

Targeted Hacker Jacob Appelbaum on CISPA, Surveillance & the "Militarization of Cyberspace"

Computer security researcher Jacob Appelbaum argues the measures included in the proposed Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) would essentially legalize military surveillance of U.S. citizens. "When they want to dramatically expand their ability to do these things in a so-called 'legal manner,' it's important to note what they're trying to do is to legalize what they have already been doing," Appelbaum says. He is a developer and advocate for the Tor Project, a network enabling its users to communicate anonymously on the internet, and has volunteered with WikiLeaks.

For an overview of the new strategy, we spoke with Ran Harnevo, SVP, Video at AOL On. According to comScore, AOL Video served nearly a half a billion videos in March. Andy Plesser Disclosure: Beet.TV has a commerical arrangement with AOL On where its videos are widely syndicated.

The Newtown Girls S01E05

"Juicy" Scarlet asks Alex to be her wingman for the evening at Newtown's inaugural lesbian book club, but Alex is somewhat sceptical of the potential for picking-up. Hoping to impress, Scarlet is hastily trying to finish the book on time, but as the hours tick down the task becomes that much more difficult. Meanwhile Alex is not impressed with Scarlet's new 'health-kick' purchase or her 'lingering-like-a-bad-smell' ex-girlfriend. Will the book club be the key to Scarlet finding love? Scarlet certainly hopes so!

"The Justin Bieber Look" Still reeling from the "Xena incident", Scarlet's found it difficult to keep up the pure, healthy, Zen lifestyle she vowed to live on her return to Newtown. It takes a drunken epiphany for her to realise that her body is a temple and she has to treat it as such. She also realises she's not going to find her soul mate falling asleep on the couch after too many. Her soul mate's out there, she just has to find her. But first thing's first. Before she can do anything else, a new look is in order.

"Dress Up" Things are going well for Scarlet, she's over her jet-lag and she's even managed to tick a few things off her list. She's enjoying work at the bookshop, she's found a yoga studio close to home and she's set up her twitter account. However, she's not having much luck finding her soul mate. So Scarlet does what any lesbian in her situation would do, and turns to her best friend for help. Having always found it difficult to say no to Scarlet, Alex reluctantly gives her the details for a private party that night. Scarlet arrives at the party all dressed up and ready for anything, however, as usually happens where Scarlet's involved, things don't quite turn out as planned.

"I'm Home!" Scarlet arrives home after spending a year in South East Asia mending a broken heart. Not only is she back, but she knows exactly what she wants. In fact she has a list, of all the things she needs to be happy, including finding her soul mate. When she shows up on her best friend Alex's doorstep she isn't exactly welcomed back with open arms. But this doesn't deter Scarlet who drags Alex into helping her track down and tick off the items on her list. And it all goes to plan -- at first. While finding a job isn't that hard, finding your soul mate is a whole other story.

Web Series and Genre

The big popular web series tend to be comedies.  Don't get me wrong, their a lot of dramas out there on the internet.  However, I think the ones that people outside the industry have heard of tend to be comedies, such as, The Guild, Legend of Neil, Cntrl, and Husbands, are all comedies.  And unless they are directly related to an already existing story (Star Trek: Phase 2 and Nightwing: Escalation), they rarely tend to be dramas AND bring in the same heavy hitting view numbers. 

My first thought was that it had to do with production value.  But, a lot of  these comedies actually have some pretty strong production value.  I mean,Legends of Atollhas some awesome looking castle sets.  CASTLES!!! 

But really, what I think it is, is that for some bizarre reason, the internet is becoming a place of cute and funny, and mostly, sarcastic and full of commentary.  We seem to have a lot of opinions about the things that we do for fun, what we read, write, etc...   We're almost obsessed w/ our hobbies.

I think this is the legacy of the Hipster Generation.  And I don't think this is a bad thing, I really don't.  I just hope we don't get so locked into writing web series about the video games we play or adapting the books we read (or didn't read) in high school (The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, very well done!), that we completely lose the concept that there are other stories.  (And I'm the last to talk on this point.)  But honestly,  I really don't think I need to worry.  We're already seeing things like Husbands, by Jane Espenson, which is simply about a gay couple.  

What's also seeming to influence web content, is of course, getting things to go viral.  It's the internet version of a blockbuster, except the currency is views.  And it appears to me that there really is no one path to get these coveted views.  There are tricks like make your video on something that is trending or be Felicia Day.  But, what I find so much is how often the internet responds to  Quality.  Make it good. If it's good, it takes just a little bit of marketing for it to get the views.

And of course, Make Em' Laugh.  (sing it....you know you want to! And if you don't get the reference:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW02c5UNGl0.  Man, I love the internet)

And it turns out what makes people laugh is pretty mundane.  And mostly cats.

Which brings me to Little Cat  Version of Me. Which has got to be, like, the essence of video on the internet.  Little Cat Version of Me is a web series about two actors trying to make their own web series, so a camera crew is hired to film a documentary of them trying to accomplish exactly that.  And what is there web series about?  The cat copying what it's owner does, a little cat version, as it were.  

This web series has great improvisation between the actors is great.  And if the actors Aren't improvising, major kudos to the writers.  And, while I think that the characters are a tad bit standard,  I find myself not really caring.

And of course, this web series is meta.  Which means that the Web Series has officially just been around long enough  to comment on itself.  Or we're just coming into an era where meta commentary is the first place our brains go to after something's been around for any longer than 2 years.  Or the internet has sped up the process of how long it takes for something to be established.

Whatever it is, The cat.  It is awesome.  

I think what I'm trying to say, is that all web media will eventually be dominated by cats, regardless of genre.
