DUH .... what're those small boxes around her? LOLOLOL Seriously, with all the modern streaming, DVDs are obsolete now. And almost no one uses VHS tapes anymore.

@@gilbertchavira1565 have you seen the Blockbuster show? I’d give it a 7/10. The movie references are nice to watch.

But I’d disagree and say I think we did know how good we had it.

@@amysue1616 perhaps that is true for you my friend. But for most of us, sadly no. I mean goodness, look at what the world is turned into...

@@michaelquaid4679 As one genius Scholar once said that our ethical standards and depersonalization of our lives will end up being a byproduct of science and technology Where technology will eventually surpass our human interaction and social structure. It is very unfortunate there exists so much turmoil, paranoia and greed in the world today. To the point where people have forgotten basic human decency and try and manipulate lower class people or instead lash out at anyone they can and most of that is because of the advances in social media, apps and modern ways of communicating which have changed so drastically to our normal natural organic way that existed for 100's of years. Were basically all walking A.I's plugged into some sort of technoglocal device that is slowly turning us into robots.

@@sol.azulalado yes but there wasn’t the debauchery in such large quantities back then. My daughter doesn’t know how to make a friend without the girls thinking she is hot for them. She is not gay, what kind of high school experience is that for her? In the 90s girls all went together and talked about boys and double dates. Now she doesn’t have that at all. We’ve lost something huge. .

@@amysue1616 Genuinely I didn't realise it at the time.

Lmao did you know her ?

Yeah i remembner vhs rentals. Same time. Till 2006 i think. But i think its filmed in 2001 or 2002. Not 2004 it was dvd time already

Yes you nailed it! What a joy that time was ....well preserved here! I remember the smell of a blockbuster, it was like new carpet and popcorn! I'm still not satisfied with her cause of death. Hope you live a long happy life!

It was one of those times where America came together. Must See TV. Going for the pizza and home movie. Fast food was still a luxury and tasted good. The internet didn't have fake news. You got your fake news from CBS, NBC, Fox or ABC. CNN was actually news with Lynn Russell(??).

I was looking to see if anyone mentioned her home town. I grew up in Piscataway. Went to Edison high school for summer school lolz. Fell behind junior year. I graduated in '03. Found out Brittney was from Edison after. R.i.p. she was awesome Edit: thats a cool story you shared

I think Hollywood took her out, maybe she knew too much and didn't want to sell her soul

Rest in peace Brittany. Uptown girls is a great movie ❤

```` Brittany Murphy... is she on drugs? i think it's rhetorical question

You nailed it

This 100%. It's ironic that people are more encouraged to be themselves today than ever before in history and yet society truly has become one big hive mind. Everyone is too busy emulating their favorite content creators or worrying about identity politics to step back and look at how bleak our society is becoming.

@@specialagentgeralt9763 Exactly, social media has emphasized hive mentality 💀

7:49 happy go lucky vibes

It's just social media making people too into themselves, the likes they receive giving them egos. Back then, the only attention you got is what you received in person. Unless you were famous but even then it was only TV/magazines etc.

I went looking for this video specifically because same--I needed to see this. What I wouldn't do to go back. I really don't like what the world has been like since the mid-2010s

look at her pupils, she was smoking meth, look how skinny she was, and knocking crap over, being overly talkative, being slightly paranoid of her surroundings, etc. good times. lol.

Word.

@Benjamin David Lurie doesn’t matter gif isn’t real anyway

Would you think that Netflix "blockbuster" series would show about all the wild customers that come in. Brittany's definitely an icon.

I don't miss a corporation paying low pay for obsolete tech

@Benjamin David Lurie Who cares? Get off ur almighty high-horse b4 u fall on ur ass

Girls like her nowadays are being told to calm down, sit back and take their pills. We were free back in the days. Today all the Karens out there trying to control the happy girls.

She was high on life. Rip Brittany Murphy

That is because she did bump after bump of coke before ever going on an interview.

@@TheNewsAnchorYouTrustfn miserable ppl

@michaelscampini1573 So weird watching people loving her “high on life” demeanor when IRL, when we see someone like this, we feel disgust for the strung up junkie doing the same junkie antics and giggling about falling over.

Right, she's beautiful

The surest way to go broke is to keep getting an increasing share of a shrinking market. A lot of investors did cry after being a Blockbuster stockholder.

No, the 90s and 2000s sucked too, you just remember it wrong.

@@noshotnova2432 when people say that, what they really mean is “being a kid was awesome”

I bet I still have my card in my wallet

We had the same friends. It does feel like ages ago 🤭

Back when the world made sense...

I had a chance to visit The last Blockbuster on earth. It is still around as well. Actually saw it on accident in Bend, Oregon not realizing it was the last one till I walked inside. They had shirts and other memorabilia. It's still around last I heard and yes you can still rent and everything.

Right! I totally teared up there.

Same. That struck me

😰😓😥😢😭

She's was right... So sad😢

same here, blockbuster is severely missed

You miss going to Blockbuster and finding that the movie you wanted was either out or they didn't carry it? Or if they did have it you had to go get back in your car and return it the next day or you get stuck with late fees. And really it's just a damn shop to go and watch Hollywood garbage. Getting nostalgic over wasting money is kind of sad. Another example of American consumerism

SHE DIED?!

what happened to the poor woman

Yes, we only had one computer and only I carried a cell phone. Then in around 2006 I bought a computer for my son as a prize for winning the spelling bee. In 2007 I bought him a cheap cell phone to call me just for emergencies. I’m so glad they got the tail end of the no electronics era.

Her spirit was contacted via "spirit box session". She's confused about her death and doesn't know how it happened. She was one of my favorites too. Soo skinny later in her life!!! Different from her start like in Clueless

@@linzwalker436 she died cause of multiple drug intoxication...what to confuse about that?

@@beardedentity That's false. The coroner's verdict was pneumonia, exacerbated by anemia and misuse of various prescription medicines.

I’m sure her soul is fantastic. ❤

Right! I hate tiktok! I love no cell phones and grunge

Samehere!!

She is/was great. This is a MTV segment could be a couple of TikTok videos! I miss Blockbusters too, but driving and renting a movie for $5 and trying to return it on time is objectively so much worse than paying $14 a month for endless Movies and TV shows on demand, so what I really miss is the memories of being young, and going there with my mom or arguing over what to rent with my first gf. Whenever you were young and the world was new, the nostalgia makes that world and time seem like the best possible one. People who grew up in the 60's and 70's probably saw this when it came out and thought watching a star go to a Blockbuster on MTV was horrible and trite compared to the things they remember doing when they were young.

I watch my sister and i feel sorry for her... All shevs gonna remember is tiktok

Yes the 90s and 2000s we're so much brighter. Is it just me or does it seem like then it was all sunshine and happiness and being bubbly and having fun. No days it's so dark. The music even the rap is all emotional and dark. The movies that come out are all horror movies or psychological thrillers. They really don't make happy upbeat raunchy comedies any more. It's either some reality bullshit or drama or horror. We get an ok rom com maybe twice a year now. People only want to be home alone or they want to argue with everyone because they can hide behind a screen. It's like the 90s and 2000s was a bright sunny warm day but after about 2015 it's like a dark cloud came over the world and just gets darker and darker each year. Really fucks me up because that's one thing there is no solution to. Time travel technology hasn't been released to us so we have to live in this darkness.

Drunk and high?

​Drunk I don't think so. Maybe she was high@@nolancho

You’re comment implies that you think Britanny murphy commited suicide. Lots of people seem to think she killed herself for some reason. She died from anemia and pneumonia and too much prescription medication

You described many people in this world. So focused on feeling happy because they feel so sad. I have met countless happy people who I found out over time were actually sad the whole time. Many years people thought I was happy because I constantly joke and laugh but on the inside I would hurt quite strongly.
