I just have to say the gal playing her on the show looks so eerily like her. Sarah Paulson is nailing it. And I loved "Mr. Johnnie." rotfl |

I had no idea that Marcia had nude photos leak during the trial and that she was dealing with custody issues as well. Sucks that the prosecution blew it, but they are doing a good job of showing how overwhelmed they often were (if that is what they are going for). And it certainly didn't help that Fuhrman was a Nazi wannabe.

This show really is much better than it needed to be. Props to them on that.

"Goddamn, who turned her into Rick James?"
"Good morning Ms Clark. I think." :lol: |
Re: The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story (FX) -- Series Thread -- 2/2/16
Sarah Paulson was terrific in this episode. I also didn't realize how many personal problems Clark was experiencing during the trial. :lol: I also forgot about the shit she got for her awful hair.

I was thinking about how much I disliked Paulson before this series, and now I think she is awesome. Seems to be that in the past is all about not being able to stand the character she was playing. Ironic given that I didn't think much of the real Marica based on what was portrayed to the public during the trial, and after. |

I had no idea it was this bad. I worked and traveled a lot then and didn't follow the trial. That trial must have driven her to the edge of a nervous breakdown. I wonder, though, couldn't her divorce and custody proceedings have been delayed? I mean, the judge certainly would understand her situation, even if her ex husband was being a dick about it.
But Kardashian and Cochrane are dead, so karma worked. How that drunk Bailey is still alive is a mystery. |

Was Darden really supposed to be this out of his depth? He seems like an amateur compared to everybody else, and that's including Cochran's assistants, even though he's supposedly been a lawyer for years (and that's not even including the real life glove incident).
|
Re: The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story (FX) -- Series Thread -- 2/2/16
Another solid episode. The actor playing Darden has to be a shoo in for Best Supporting Actor at the Emmys next year.

Cuba/OJ trying on the gloves - pretty spot-on to the original. It was all "acting", and if those rubber gloves weren't on underneath, I'm pretty sure they would have fit better also (besides the dried blood all over them shrinking them up some).
I was shocked to see Shapiro just casually walk over and try one of them on in front of everyone in court like that. Did that really happen? |

I love FX for continuing to have the balls to not shy away from the language.

:lol: at Cochran yelling out "Fuck!!!"
Poor Darden, he blew it with Marcia...:lol: If that's accurate to what happened. I wonder if in the next episode we'll get Cochran's famous line...."If it doesn't fit, you must acquit" Was waiting for him to say it. |

Re: The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story (FX) -- Series Thread -- 2/2/16
Yup. Closing arguments.
Ever since they announced the not guilty verdict on our honeymoon I've always wondered what could have happened had Marcia got her way, and the gloves never get tried on. Still have the Fuhrman issue, but maybe that alone doesn't sink them. This episode had me wondering just how much really happened. Darden wants Marcia? Lapel pin? Faxes from outside the courtroom? |
Re: The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story (FX) -- Series Thread -- 2/2/16
Yes.

I went back and watched an old Chicago Bears game from 1985 on youtube. Man it was creepy hearing OJ call the game, and talking about one of his kids he just had with Nicole. I hope to see the show eventually it looks good.
