Vh1 Rock Docs: Last Days of Left Eye

[black_princess]

yes this whole thing did stike me as odd, especially knowing how it ends. I've always had this "thing" with putting things away in my time-capsule or making a point to put certain things away in a safe place to look back on years from now. This film, struck up a passion in me tostart a daily video diary . . . I think I may start this evening . . ..

The videos looked cheesy. It looked like a subpar TLC mixed with Blaque.

Some people have even been entertaining the idea that her death was staged. True, there were pictures of that horrible crash and, seemingly, video footage of her "final" moments. However, the doc also showed that this chick did go "missing" and staged a nationwide "manhunt" of sorts. Additionally, I'll still say that I was shocked that she was the only fatality of what appeared to be an awful crash. I know that it happens everyday, but this chick does have a wacky history.

And then, now that I remember, I recall the so-called morgue photos of her and I don't remember her having that on in the SUV. I'll have to watch the ending of the doc again. Maybe they put some clothes her on for purposes of integrity? Hmm....

Let's just say that I wouldn't be surprised if she is hanging out in the jungle right now.... *shrugs*

Do you think she'll be hanging out in the jungle with Tupac and Elvis?

I was checking on VH1 last night to see when this might come on again and it didn't look like it was coming on anytime soon. I really wanted to see it too.

It has aired like 3 times since Saturday.

VH1.com's schedule doesn't show it being aired again.

There are two discussion topics on the show's message board: http://www.vh1.com/shows/dyn/vh1_roc...pVspot(1540368)

I'm so superficial. While watching to "documentary", I found myself focusing on the group Egypt and wondering why they were performing at a men's prison in freak'em wear/club clothes.

I'm still trying to decide if the "documentary" was an excercise in narcissism (I believe on some level, all entertainers are narcissist) or was it really a genuine plea for people to know who she really was.

Speaking of the jungle, the scene where she and her (at the time ) boyfriend were playing Tarzan and Jane made me chuckle.

Me too! I actually thought it was cute.... even though she was living it up while folks thought she was kidnapped or killed.

Amazingly, I don't recall ever hearing that "missing" story.

LMAO!!!! You are NOT alone!! I was thinking, "Here they are, HALF NUDE, and the prisoners are within arm's length. That can't be good." Then, just after I thought that, one broke free and ran up to do the dutty wine on one of them! I was in fear for the safety of these girls!

Were they singing in Swahili or something?

I remember the missing story. I haven't gone through that old thread or any other LLL threads here on GC, but I do remember that.

I never heard that missing story, either. I also didn't know she had that new boyfriend who was an actor or something.

Although it's cute to be playing the Tarzan and Jane thing, it solidified her as somewhat of a wierdo.

I also thought that it was eerily quiet in the car as if something were "planned." It was just odd that no oine was talking at all. I don't know what to think...

Man, I thought I was crazy. I was like, she was driving in broad daylight and it didn't look like she was speeding at all, and suddenly she swerved and then it was all over with.

I think the little boy's last name being Lopez, was just a coincidence. Isn't Lopez very common hispanic last name?

I got a narcissistic vibe from the documentary also.

If you have an Ipod, check Itunes and see if its availble on there.

Or Youtube.

If that wasn't the real crash then I am so disappointed in the editors...they shouldn't have lead us to believe that was the crash that killed her and it wasn't...although I think it is a little morbid to show the real crash...when I was watching it I was thinking, "this is too much."
