Brittany Murphy at Blockbuster 🎬 You Had To Be There 

I was lucky enough to be able to visit the last Blockbuster in Bend, Oregon.

@@gilbertchavira1565 🎉

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.

Word.

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(??).

@@dzenacs2011 They still had VHS in 2004. It was 2006/2007 when VHS stopped being made.

@@dzenacs2011 Yes, She said she was 24 in this video. She was born in '77, so It was 2001 👍

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.

Don't forget leather & denim! : )

I miss those days.

Very true

No one wore it like her ❤

Yep... 'Bed head' was not a thing before or after the noughties.

Grateful*

What a lovely story - thank you for sharing 😊

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

@@emmajones4781you’re very welcome :). I’m so happy I still remember that story to this day.

@@XxGlaciersOfIcexXthat’s very cool you grew up in Piscataway and went to Edison high for summer school. I went to Edison high, class of ‘96. It’s really cool to meet people who grew up around the same area.

One still exists in Bend, Oregon.

​@@Dane42o But sadly, the other no longer exists...🥺

How she die ?

@@durielarcos4701 I think suicide :'(

How do you know what she wanted?

Googoogaga?

@@durielarcos4701 the drugs she did in this video

There is one blockbuster left and it’s not far from where I live. 💛

@@tiffanywhitman9372 where is it from where you live?

Same.

💯We need more people like her in this world so full of funky hateful people, her bravery to be happy and make others laugh.

Not their late fees and then turning your ass in to collection for a $14.99 movie (Honey I Shrunk The Kids.)

I agree.

Same, I was broken when she passed away. I love her energy and her honest genuine sense of self.

She was 27 years old when she did this video and she would pass away five years later. Somethings not right. She says she's 24 years old in the video at the 2:24 mark. But if she was 24 years old in this video, that would mean the year this video was shot was 2001 and not 2004. This video was uploaded Nov 10 2022,and the description says it would've been her 45th birthday.Comfirming she was born in 1977. So,she would've been 27 years old in 2004,not 24 years old as she claims in the video.

exactly, dude. A girl so sweet. Sad loss!

Hello, greetings from Peru. I was looking on Maps where this place is currently located but I have my doubts. Can you confirm if this is the place and if not, help me with the correct address to search for it on Maps? Thank you so much! Is this place? 800 51st St, Brooklyn, NY 11220, EE. UU.

RIP Blockbuster too. 😪

i never thought USA would have Blockbuster too, greetings from Mexico

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

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”

when you had real choice in movie selection and watching a movie was a cultural event, not just a button on your remote.

@@noshotnova2432 is it because you got bullied back then?....it's ok little timmy... I'm sure them bully's regret it now there grown adults! Don't hold onto the hate yourself and let go of that past trauma buddy... Just because your 90s and 00s were horrible doesn't mean ours was... It was actually pretty amazing! Best times of most people's life's from that generation ☺

Right, she's beautiful

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

VIDEOCASSETTES!!!

@@salilandricina9851yep, VHS to slap into the VCR

Yeah this is from the transition era of dvd and vhs.

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.

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.

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.

Me too

Honest question: was she high or was this just her genuine personality?

You are depressed and should seek treatment

@@baIoney Genuine personality

@@baIoney why do commenters like you always assume every single celebrity who isn't a husk to be high?

Yeah I just saw that movie with her in it about the methheads on tubi...it was incredible...funny too

Yeah, i miss her so much.

She looks fucked up here.

She was one of my favs too.

@@nelliesfarm8473 I forgot all about that movie. What's the name of it? I remember watching it years ago, but can't recall the title...

I worked in a video store briefly in 1999, not Blockbuster, but a place more known for artsy and foreign films.

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.

It Is Sad she was full of life , her husband is to blame for her death .

We miss her so much.

@@ATG630 not just him but Hollywood too

She was full of coke.

WTH.....she looks sick, hungry and VERY thin?????

Exactly

Yeah, weird how all the authentic celebrities keep dying, huh.

She's an actress....

Social Media has really messed people up

Because social media, everyone try so hard to be what they're not.

Lies again? Raw Emotions + Special Effects = Bang Bros

@@NazriB Lesbian Stephanie Retamar Justin Pullin Danielle Pullin Misty Brown Megan Ellis Michelle Oiler

Right! I totally teared up there.

Same. That struck me

😰😓😥😢😭

She's was right... So sad😢

same here, blockbuster is severely missed

Actually 8 years later

Its suposed to say 2001 not 2004

@@paulsauta1806 thanks for letting me know. I looked it up at it was in 2002. So the title is still off by 2 years. But either way, it’s sad to see because I remember watching this in real time when I was in middle school. She was such a lovable soul.

There's about 20k dudes in Boston with my name, I'm from North Providence, every family growing up there was either Irish or Italian, she's both, meaning awesome 👍😎

@Avril Lavigne absolutely

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

@@bluestorm9651 You must be the life of the party. I'll take the 90s and 00s any day over tik tok and whiny sad boys like you.

You sound fun@@bluestorm9651

I blame social media and the internet as a whole for the change peoples psyche. We are bombarded with nonsense and lies on levels that just weren't possible before, Theres no rest from it and I think I drains people of their mental energy and zest for life.

@@tommyt4062 the internet gives you more variety of information unlike in those days when you had to believe whatever Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw told you.

Well said.

I’m with you Sam. She was so adorable! I just want to give her a big hug and tell her everything is going to be OK! Such a tragedy she is gone!😢.

Yes she was, I was going to leave a similar comment. Such a shame that she's gone.

She made good movies 8mile with Eminem clueless the Roman noodle

She read his name on his t-shirt 😂 😂

She knows that

@@bigsmokeweiler8941 no shit Sherlock.

@@jondough4682 lmao

I didnt know who Brittany Murphy was until this video but damn it sucks she died early.

omg you so old :(

​@michajanicki6860 So are you here very shortly if not already. Time keeps in ticking, ticking, ticking.. into the fuuuuuuutuuuuuuure.

​​​​@@michajanicki6860you will be where we are today in age buddy and we all be old people. In 14yrs now from the 14yr lengths of her death you will be our age, so look around and enjoy ur life and not by mocking peoples age. Age is relative bro. We all grow up! Well, some 😉

​@@michajanicki6860that's not old. Kid

I'm 43

Yup...what a pointless video

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.

Love it, it's strange to think the clothes I was brought up with look so outdated but cool at the same time.

@@donamills863 Ok boomer

Yes I miss the 90s back when CDs 💿 were really popular and vhs 📼 and block busters still exist I hate this new generation of streaming movies and music people got lazyyyy Let’s keep physical media alive guys

@@Amy-uw7hl yeah probably

I cried! They're both gone.

Nah I have a headache.

Facts

Agreed I did

YES! I smiled, and I even laughed at her little silly moments while she was in that store! 😄😁 But I’ll admit: I also cried a bit too there at the end when she kept saying goodbye right before walking out the door, almost as if she had just taken her final exit off the stage as the screen faded to black…😔😩😭

It did feel special ! Kinda like going to a movie & u always was anxious if ur movie was there !!! 🐣🐣🐣

What's a 'vibe'?

@@gandalf0987 vibe means feeling

@@tamathawalden2037 Yes and you had to get there early if you were going there on a Friday or Saturday night if you wanted to get a particular movie! But sometimes the people at the counter would hold it for you if you knew them and they were nice😊

You really could have as much fun as Brittany while picking your movies at Blockbuster, you definitely HAD to be there, i miss those days and her.

she was crazy in the best of ways and soooo talented as an actor

It’s the drugs.

Oh man she didn't die from that get real.@@chrlpolk

@@toddlavigne6441 she really wasn't a great actress though. A great drug addict yes.

@fleshsuitman had a shit day in the flesh suit man?

Drunk and high?

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

it's why life sucks, she was killed by THEM, THEM, when you enter hollyweird, prices include souls, her scum bag mother killed her.

more souls who love they craft!! The way she talks about her love for movies is prob more passionate then you love yo own mamaaa @@nolancho

cocaine

Is that blockbuster store real? 🤔

As far as her energy here, it is apparent she is on some sort of narcotic…

@@MrMJmusicLover you serious?

What happened to her? I didnt know she died

@@Cereal_Killer007 Yes, heard there was one left in the entire United States. Thought that was it. 🤔

What a great way to describe her 🥰

Yessssss!! I just thought how when she said "because I can & will never be able to do this ever again" was so sad. She really never got to act again or anything. Poor thing.

@@linalicious415 😭😭

Art is forever. She'll be honored and revered in this way. And videos like these captured a glimpse into her lovely personality. Life is short. We must live every minute to the fullest.

or go to Blockbuster

Or get to experience going to Blockbuster.

:' (

She was awesome, she was a great lady, legacy.

Same.😭

SHE DIED?!

what happened to the poor woman

It was my friend. Those were good times xx

I was 15 in 2004. It was definitely simpler times.

I was completely isolated back then, with no access to any real support or guidance, at least now the internet allows you to find like minded people and the information you need to change things and better yourself.

@@PixelatedFaerie me too! Those were the days! ❤

Nothings been the same since 9/11

@@elementblue780 When you're living a certain life, such as being a celebrity and being around the party scene, a lot of people do. Maybe your perspective is just very close minded and shallow. Recreational drugs are ok from time to time, as long as you can firmly walk away.

​@@ericg4915people don't grow up and say I want to be a drug addict come on she obviously went through some terrible shit growing up which led to her addiction don't be mean dude

​@@ericg4915she didnt die of drugs. Her apt had a toxic mold she didnt know

@@jmwilsoND cause of death was pneumonia, with secondary factors of severe iron-deficiency anemia and multiple drug intoxication - A mix of over the counter and prescription. No I don't believe she was a street drug addict of even did them, But I do believe that animal partner of hers was pushing her onto his prescription drugs! Probably through making her ill and then making her think she needs them to get better... We will never know the full truth what went on behind closed doors, But everything point towards my opinion.

@@fleshsuitmanit wasn’t her fault tho, she got trapped into it and addicted and never got the chance to get clean. Her mother was an absolute bitch too.

You miss your youth. The older I get the more I miss my youth. Wish life had a reset button.

@@toastnjam7384 part of me do miss my youth and wishing it lasted longer but I’m also happy looking forward as well. Change will always be changing so I think it’s also important to remember the past to remind myself how far I have come in life! Britney Murphy was really something!

@@duaney4948 me too 😢

This is mid 2000s tho lol

You're so lucky. May she rest in peace.

He got her on drugs and used her like a sex doll, really broke her heart.

@@hendo337 when you really look, she had a tragic last few years. It's so sad and i wish she was here to tell her story. May she rest in peace and know how many adoring fans she has. 🤍

YESSSSS OMG

I love her, though i can tell she was probably on some kind of drugs at that moment

*RARBG*

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.

@Totally Rufus A friend of mine in college was the same, too. He was very funny and a nice person to be around, but we didn't realize he had been grieving for his deceased nephew, and it took a toll on him.

I’m close to tears and your comment got me

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. ❤

We all miss them so MUCH

Sasha if “we missed them so much” they wouldn’t have gone out of business from people no longer renting movies.

@@sarcasticallyrearranged I wasn't talking about people renting tapes/vhs cassettes. justintime-mechanics wrote: Truly miss those days, fun dance music in the clubs, lots of happy go lucky people everywhere. Never realized how much I'd miss those days back then. R.I.P Brittany And my reply simply: We all miss them so much... What is your problem with my response to justintime-mechanics?

Yeah basically just saying times seemed simpler back then

Times were more sheltered back then

She died in 2009 wouldn’t that make you 15 when she passed away I’m only asking because I’m 26 and I was 13 when she passed away

This says 2004 she would've been 26 om 2004 almost 27 but she said 24 so shouldn't this be 2002?

@@redlipstickpsycho1 it's not kind of you to fact check on a comment like this.

@@jaysonpadron6425 I'm pretty sure whoever posted this video got the date wrong. She said she loved Shrek and that it came out last year. Well, Shrek came out in 2001 so I'm pretty sure this is early 2002.

She died in 2009 when I was 15 and I'm already 28.

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.

Im sure the ✡ that pimped her out into a star is very proud

Couldn’t agree more with you Kyle. Unfortunately I don’t believe we will ever have this type of authenticity again😅😢

You re goddamn right

Self-introspection? 🥴 By the way, she was on drugs. She is slurry here. Intoxicated people are not demonstrating their genuine personality. She seems like a nice person, though. 😔

They are all the same. Everyone is suffering. No one is better.

She was high as a kite😂

@@mikelisteral7863 wtf are u saying dude?

@@mikelisteral7863 Heh, nice

Y'all are so stupid how can you miss someone you don't even know

High af

Netflix didn't, internet did, the moment you could download any movie at home it was the moment all renting was dead, since then i have never rented or paid for a movie again (besides cinema to watch the new ones).

They should rebuild some for the nostalgia factor. You’d be surprised how many customers will still go just to have that old feeling back. I mean if Walmart still sell dvds and cds then I don’t see why can’t Blockbuster still do so

We don’t have to rewind the Netflix. 😂

I don’t I remember having to have a credit card to get a blockbuster account at one point.

She was on drugs here.
