ReidOne 12,427 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I was in LA yesterday and saw street posters advertising American Crime Story.... Notice how OJ's infamous glove takes center stage in the promo poster. As Ryan Murphy's follow-up to AHS: Hotel, is this in some small way a subtle nod to The Countess weapon of choice?? I totally think so. Definitely a reach, but something to consider... This detail would totally be lost on most, but I think it's brilliant! Ryan Murphy is a genius.

ReidOne 12,427 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 For the record, I don't believe this is some "grand statement" about the Countess... Simply Ryan Murphy subtly bridging his two projects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartySick 138,862 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Unless I'm wrong, the thing that convinced the jury of OJ's innocence is that the glove didn't fit (so they had to acquit) It's a big part of the story so I think that's probably why :yes: 💚 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely central to the OJ story. I just love how, in the marketing, Ryan Murphy is tying his two most recent lead "killers" together with their gloves! Also.... ... I know it!! LOL!

ReidOne 12,427 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm also curious how the series will handle OJ's guilt vs. innocence... Will they portray him as the murderer? Or will they leave it ambiguous? Surely they will leave it ambiguous... If they don't, they are stepping into all kinds of drama. Will be interesting to see! Can't wait.

Iwontell 7,312 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm really interested in this new serie... I wonder how reality-based they intend to be.... ATTENTION: (bad) jokes and sarcasm are still a thing, so don't take everything I say literally. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HausOfMark 4,149 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 No, its not a nod to The Countess. It was a big part of the OJ Simpson, which is what this show is about. This actually happened. I think some people think that Ryan made this show up when he stated this series is a showing the behind the scenes of actual trials. -Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReidOne 12,427 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 On the subject of "will Ryan Murphy portray OJ as guilty?" .... Even the LA Times TODAY is discussing the way that Ryan Murphy portrays people of color in his series. Which, as a self-aware person, seems to indicate that Ryan would know better than to portray OJ as the undisputed killer. So... It's totally worth considering that this series may introduce some alternatives to the story we've been told in the media.
