The people Vs OJ Simpson

[Red]

Nobody been watching this? It's been really good with John Travolta, Cuba Gooding Jr and David Schwimmer.

I watched a bit of the first episode and decided not to bother. It looked like an American made for tv film with famous people in it. Presumably it improved?

I had it on series record and had recorded the first 4 episodes. When I watched them I just had to watch them all in one go. Last one next week mate.

Saw the final episode last night. It was really great stuff, but they totally screwed up with Gooding Jr as OJ imo. It was really noticeable how small he was at the party, and when you see footage of OJ speaking, he's got this commanding, deep voice. Basically he's got real presence. Gooding Jr is a little guy with a reedy, whining voice. The rest of the cast were amazing but I didn't buy OJ.

Apart from that:

★★★★☆

John Travolta's face tho. What has he done to himself..

 

[smat]

Hold on, there was one more thing.

In the last ep, Marcia Clark said to Darden that she was raped in Italy. I read an interview with her and the rape actually happened in Israel.

Weird innit?

The Scientology has fucked his face up somehow.

Out and out racism.

The guy who played the judge had been waiting desperately for someone to make an OJ production for so long!

Yeah, the likenesses of some of the actors and the characters they played was quite striking. Smat's rety though about Cuba.
