Angus_Young Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Anyone see this last night? 10 part series from the 'American Horror Story' folks. Decent cast. It was weird seeing David Schwimmer in a different role (Friends is never off in our house), and he seemed a bit awkward to me, although Mrs AY assures me he has played the Kardashian bell end to a T. Travolta has received a lot of praise for his portrayal of the lawyer. I know little of OJ Simpson other than the basic facts of the case, but he seems a complete nutter. Making folk call you 'Juice', is a jailing offence on its own, for a start. Was reading there, that, although a dramatisation, it's been based on actual testimony and events presented to the courts. Whether that will depict the truth, is anyone's guess, but should make for decent viewing if you like that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only One Stop Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Kardashian was one of OJ's Lawyers, at least he had a talent at something apart from having a fat erse and releasing sex tapes like his daughter. I am aware there are other daughters but have no idea what they look like or what they do. i think the lawyer Kardashian died a few years back but could be wrong.

dan cake Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I was in los Angeles with my mates (doing Californian, route 1 costal) the day he was found not guilty, have often discussed in the boozer how different our trip would have turned out if the verdict had been reversed. Will probably power watch once all episodes have been on, looks promising tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see this last night, but will catch up with it in the next couple of nights. I remember during the trial back ion the early 90's, when they televised it live on SKY news, I regularly sat up till 2-3 in the morning watching absolutely nothing happening for night after night, I was strangely addicted to it, and I have no idea why! Even the judge was calling him OJ at one point. He was totally starstruck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooft, bit of an overreaction no? I watched it last night and found it strangely compelling. I also find it interesting that folk in Amercia seem to get power and fame through their dads. The Kennedys, The Bushs, The Hiltons, The Kardashians... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giblet Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 remember watching the result come in whilst drinking in the Student union at QMC. Was a real "where were you" moment. The evidence still points to OJ being guilty, the cult of the celebrity turned the Jury's heads. Kardashian is brown bread btw. Died of cancer early noughties.

I know it's written by a father and therefore somewhat biased but I admire any parent of a murdered child who doesn't take any and every opportunity to kill the murderer. http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/1984/03/dunne198403 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 If CSI had been on in the days of the case and the police actually knew how to investigate a crime scene with chains of custody etc then it wouldn't even be a controversial case. Lawyers of course happy to create a race-storm in the country to get their client off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Nice bit of work on the book cover by the Goldmans. Can you spot the "If"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddybuc16 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Watched the first one, quite gripping. Why? When you have been accused of murder, would you release that book saying how you would have done it? That just seems completely dense to me. Was anyone ever found guilty of the murders?

TartanJon Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Watching episode two and this has some of the ####in worst hammy acting I have ever seen in my life,the only reason I will stick with it is because i want to see how bad it can get. Travolta and Schwimmer are shit actors but they've actually taken their shittyness to whole new level.Travolta's accent changes from scene to scene and Schwimmer is playing Ross from Friends only he is wearing the hide of that monkey on his napper rather than fingering it. Hopefully Travolta's eyebrows will get their own spin-off series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are doing dreadful Channel 5 middle of the day made for TV movies a disservice there. I see it was the folk from American Horror that made it...My missus watches that religiously and sometimes I catch some of it while she is tuned into it,I've always thought that was brutal with really bad acting as well. Never understood how it always wins awards . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
