Oh, hey, I watched this OJ Made In America. It was like 8 hours long. And after watching it, in context with the world, it was the first time I understood the verdict. First time.

If any of you have a chance to watch it, I would really recommend it.


Maybe I will watch it, just didn't care to. In the words of Chris Rock: Nobody's going to thank OJ for winning an award.

Hello, loves. I'm going to watch with you but can't comment much or like. But I'm laughing over here on my couch. I've got a bug of some kind. Got some phenegran and ginger ale, so I'll live, but I might fall asleep - I'm a bit slurry. I've been missing you all much. I have a new crush on that guy from Lion. I love Viola Davis. She's classy. Yes Isabel Hupert - hefty, hefty, hefty. How can we see this but their stylist didn't. Sheesh. Johnny Legend is always so cute. He looks like a little boy I used to babysit.
I'm sick too HollyGolightly - a bit of the flu :unconscious::ft::ill:

ha! no, they won't. But really, putting the verdict up against what was happening in the black community, I totally get it now. Totally get why they did what they did. And a couple jurors in the documentary said the verdict was in direct relation to the Rodney King verdict.

I still think he got away with murder, but I get why they did it. Very good documentary laying the groundwork for understanding that verdict.

They finally got him. But, I understand the verdict too.

I LOVE Jackie Chan! When our school district was going to build a new elementary school, they ran a contest on naming it.

My youngest son submitted Jackie Chan Elementary. Everyone bust a gut over that. And the secretaries at the front office would practice answering the phone, "Jackie Chan Elementary!"
