They've been screening all 7 hours and 43 minutes in select theaters to be eligible for Cannes and the Academy Awards.
Haven't found a screening near me tho.

Watching those movies is incredibly awkward because of him. Amazes me that he plays a goofball so well.

The music is on point. Reminds me of an Errol Morris film.

Part 2 is on Tuesday on ESPN. Then it goes Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
But all five will be streaming on WatchESPN on Tuesday.
What did he mean by this?

They just isolated him and used him. Reminds me of Jesus on the mountain with Satan being offered riches, kingdoms, and mistresses, but OJ was just a man
If you want a great story on media and sensationalism mixed with your OJ, watch the first 30 for 30 on OJ Simpson: June 17, 1994.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_17th,_1994
It's my favorite documentary.
wait so there are two 30 for 30s!
thought it would at least be a different production thingy

This is really good. I didn't know half of this stuff before. The white man used OJ but I guess he loved the fame.
Really nailing down how much of a sell-out OJ Simpson was.
"Hey OJ, we love that you aren't like these other negros!" // "Thanks guys! When are we shooting my next commercial?"

Whoaaaaaaa
"We looked up to the pimps and the players."
And dude would rather hang out around that than their new rich "Friends"
I can never understand that mindset. The whole you will always be nothing if you came from nothing.
OJ went to the same University as Robert Kardashian, and had made just as much of himself as anybody else in that mansion. To think he didnt belong there just because he came from a poor background just shows how his friend internalized his own inferiority.

"I'm gonna marry that girl" -- OJ Simpson, married father of 3.
Anyway, that was awesome. I wish all five parts were available right now.

Yeah dumb ass shit. Couldn't even watch it with Twitter.
Thats just how some people are, its a stark difference between Joe Bell and AC both grew up with OJ, one idolized OJ and wanted to be just like him, despite everything OJ did to him, the other rather stay true to his up bringing but didnt care much for the high life.

Part 1 was amazing!! Crazy how the first date with OJ that girl came home with ripped jeans cause OJ was forceful.
Wanting better shouldn't include choosing to lose your identity though.

So is it pretty common that most people believe that he actually killed her? If yet to do my own detailed reading into the whole trail and if the glove don't fit you must acquit stuff.
And I wonder were black people back then happy he was found not guilty or was it hard for them to identify with OJ because he was "colorless"? I just find this whole thing very interesting, I was a baby when this all happened and didn't get to watch it all on TV or experience the whole event like my parents did.

It was a mistake for OJ not to be an activist. But it's his life.
Him being aggressive with her on the first date is hearsay. Show me the carfax on that.

OJ won fair and square. It could've went either.
Corrupt cops and what not. It was wild.

Thanks for the reminder, I set it to record the series. Part 1 is airing again before Part 2 on Tuesday.
30 for 30 stuff is always fantastic.

Pretty crazy back then, the verdict was shown in everywhere including my 5th grade classroom. My teacher got pissed that he was announced "not guilty", I was happy he wasn't guilty because I liked him in the Naked Gun movies.
He wasn't a sellout for wanting better, he was a sellout for all the "I'm not black, I'm OJ" bullshit.

I hope it focuses on everything BEFORE the murders, and not the murders.
As soon as part two finishes airing.
