Brittany Murphy - Blog Posts
How did I forget that Brittany Murphy was in an episode of Boy Meets World?
Can we all please acknowledge that Brittany Murphy was an extremely talented actor with an absolutely impressive range? And that she also had an amazingly kind and sweet personality?
I mean, can you imagine any of the films she was in with someone else in her roles? Clueless, Cherry Falls, 8 Mile, Girl Interrupted, Prophecy 2, Riding in Cars with Boys, Uptown Girls, etc.? Didn't think so. She made those roles. Those movies would have been made so much less by her absence. Even when she was given roles that had no depth or nuance, she gave it depth and nuance through her performance.
While we're at it, let's also acknowledge how horribly she was treated by the media. Like, tabloids just made up stories about her being an addict, having an eating disorder, being difficult on set. None of that was true. But she was constantly hounded about it and it was devastating for her mental and physical health. All of these lies became the common perception of her. People just accepted it all as truth.
She was an all-around wonderful person and artist. But she was destroyed by assholes deciding that she was an easy target. Even when she died, these vultures made up shit about how she OD'ed (she didn't) or died of an ED (she didn't). They couldn't even let her rest in peace.
I keep hoping that someday we'll stop letting media outlets do this to women, but I keep getting shown that there is no end to it. As long as people are getting "tea" they'll keep letting women, and even young girls, get victimized and traumatized.

Ngl I have a love hate relationship with how we have streaming services now. And the concept of going to the store to rent a movie like literally hasent existed in almost 2 decades
It was just a whole experience. And even if you didn’t like the movie you ended up watching it. Maybe twice because you had it for a few days and paid for it.
Nowadays we just stream everything. Don’t like it in the first 15 mins? Pick something else.
Fall asleep and totally forget what you even put on to watch
Idk where I’m going with this but you 80s/90s kids know what I mean
