I mean the movies are funny don't get me wrong, but OJ kind of ruins it for me now. I just feel strange watching it.
shareno it adds novelty for me
shareNope. Doesn't effect me. The O.J. Simpson before is still funny.
shareSeeing OJ in these movies definite does something in the wake of what he did, but "ruin"? Nah I wouldn't go that far.
shareI have to agree. It was before anything happened. I can still enjoy it. For some reason, I cannot watch Cosby in anything and not have it affect my enjoyment. I guess that's because he was a rotten person during all those years.
shareYou should have a listen to the DVD commentary. When OJ is skulking round in the harbor in the beginning with his dark clothes and knitted cap, they joke about the case and one of them (I forget who) says: "So is this actual footage of OJ or the movie"?
Working in the movie business since -92
Yeah, that looks like the cap he wore the night he killed two people, isn't it? Funny thing: A month after this film was released (or about) was the New Year's Day altercation with Nicole. Too bad that didn't get as much publicity, because maybe then Simpson might not have still be considered a hero then.
shareDoesn't ruin it for me at all.
shareIt doesn't ruin it for me.
Listen to the commentary track by David Zucker and Robert K. Weiss (the producer of the movie) and the host. They talk about OJ (the commentary was recorded after the murders), and what they say is hysterical.
Doesn't bother me any more than knowing Mark Holton was the one that was behind Pee-Wee's bike theft. Holton was funny in this movie just like OJ.
