[September 26, 2008] Sometime
in
2005, I downloaded two .mp4 or .mov files of paparazzi video of
Denise
Richards and Brittany
Murphy. I can't remember why, but it was probably because
they
are hot. I
decided
to cut them and paste them back together, as practice in using
iMovie.
And to make it hotter I implied some sort of erotic
tension between the two stars.
[December
20,
2009] I was shocked and profoundly saddened by the sudden death
of Brittany
Murphy. Her cause of death has been rather tautologically
described as "cardiac arrest." She had been having a hard
time lately: she had been fired from a film a few weeks before
her
death, reportedly
because she was being difficult to work with. I won't be
shocked
if her death turns out to be a drug overdose, a suicide or both.
But
I knew nothing of her troubles. I chose her for this video
merely
because she seemed so cheerful and happy and ordinary, even as
the
paparazzi (and the autograph-seekers) made a fuss over nothing
in
particular. Regardless of how she died, she was a beautiful
young
woman with her whole life ahead of her, and it is a damn shame
she
died so soon.
I was inspired to make my video,
which was a mashup of two or three random paparazzi videos,
after
watching many videos of Paris
Hilton, such as the "Paris
& Paris" video where she walks across a parking lot
with
a her
then-fiancee, whose name was also Paris.
