Vh1 Rock Docs: Last Days of Left Eye

"Last Days of Left Eye"
May 19, 2007
9/8 C

Anyone else excited to see this? it looks into the final days of TLC member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, when she went to Honduras for a spiritual retreat and ended up being killed in a car accident. I had no clue she was filming a documentary while down there, this should make for some interesting yet sad viewing.

So far, I'm not feeling it. I don't know what I expected, but this isn't it. Hopefully, it will get better....

Aw man, I forgot all about it.

I'm sure VH1 will have this on repeat several times.

It'll be on again @ 1 am EST/12 am CST tonight!

I was on the phone for the first hour. I'm watching the second hour now..... it's interesting. But I don't think I was ever that emotionally invested in Left Eye.

This is just an E! True Hollywood Story spoken in Left Eye's own words. It is not revealing that many new facts, aside from the Andre Rison situation. She revealed a few more facts that I didn't know. However, there is too much editing going on. It looks like a final project that I would have put together in my Film Production class in undergrad.

Some of the old clips made me lift an eyebrow, but hey....

I'm catching the end of it. I'm surprised it's still on. This is some ending...I never knew those last moments were caught on tape...

Same thing I said.... That's truly something.... I wonder if there was more to the video, but it was just edited for TV purposes.

It's a wonder everyone else made it out alive.

I watched it.

I feel some kind of way about it. Not sure how I feel just yet.

I was never emotionally invested in Left Eye but her passing came a little while after Aaliyah's. So it made me sad within that context.

What did they show? I had flipped away during a commercial and missed it.

The last thing I saw was the Lopez boy'z shoes after Lisa Lopes accidentally hit him.

I was typing what happened, but then realized that not everyone has seen it. I'll PM you.

Thanks.

I'm disturbed by your PM, though.

[DSTCHAOS]

I'll ask the group what I asked Redefined via PM:

Do you all think Left Eye committed suicide? It seems so foreshadowed. It starts with her saying she foresaw her death and then she gets a red SUV instead of the regular van they were driving. Throughout, she displayed suicidal and destructive thoughts and behaviors.

[RedefinedDiva]

Building from the above question and not trying to ruin the end for anyone, but this question will help you to look closely and let me know if I am crazy:

Did Lisa look increasingly distressed in the final scenes in the SUV? To me, it seemed as if she had a strange look in the eye and written on her face, as if she knew or felt something.

Now, it could just be ME reading too much into it or looking for something that isn't there, but considering her premonitions, I'm just wondering if she knew that her "time" was upon her.

[Senusret I]

I hope I'm not stoned for saying this..... but the whole thing was vaguely narcissistic to me.

I will type more a little later when I wake up.
