American Crime Story to portray OJ trial as a hoot!

...Running With Scissors... The apparently horrible HBO pilot Open... His apparently horrible F/X trans pilot Pretty/Handsome... The Delta Burke vehicle (which shot 13 episodes nobody wanted to air,) St Sass...

Oh right.

I'm worried that the planned Normal Heart sequel (not based at all on the semi-sequel stage play,) is not being just written by Kramer. It's to be a collaboration with Murphy co-writing... (Although I have a feeling that Kramer might find collaborating with him impossible given both of their egos.)

To his credit I think he's also reasonably clever at concepts/set ups for shows. By no means as original as he thinks he is, and only sometimes, but...

The thing with Murphy is that his projects usually start very strong but then he abandons the series for the next best thing. Then show goes drastically downhill. It's happened with Nip/Tuck, Glee, AHS.

Take a look again at the list of disasters Eric reminded you of and then remember what you posted:

"When everything he touches stops making billions of dollars, that when."

Maybe there's something somewhere between everything he touches making billions of dollars and he keeps losing money for people.

Nuance. It's a thing. Hyperbole is 3000% total bs.

Murphy is a talented director and a very precise stylist, who does not know how to deviate from that style as his needs or productions change. His shows all sound like they were scripted by someone who only learned English by memorizing and quoting the entire screenplay to Beetlejuice.

I'm not convinced that this being "a hoot" or darkly comic is going to necessarily mean that it is disrespectful to the memory of the victims or in objectionable taste.

I've too often been surprised - pleasantly and unpleasantly - by the results of projects I've prejudged by their creators's credentials or fortes.

Hasn't everybody?

I have. And then the rest of Ryan Murphy's season unfolds and I'm mad at myself for thinking things were gonna be different this time.

Selma Blair is Kris Jenner


I find it interesting that Kris needs to be portrayed at all. Was she a important figure in the original case (beyond being Robert Kardashian's wife and a friend of OJ and Nicole)? Seems like the only reason her character is included now is because of her reality show fame. I'd rather see them get bigger named stars for Furman or Ito or Fred or Kim Goldman.

Ex-wife. She married Jenner the year before Nicole was killed. I honestly don't ever remember anything about her during the trial. I don't understand why they would put her in the mix.


Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

Wonder who will play Bruce!? I can't imagine Blair being a regular. In 10 episodes how much can Kris Jenner factor into the story. Maybe it's just a 1 episode guest role?


I hope this plays out more like a Law & Order episode.

In between Ryan Murphy and Andy Cohen--and really aren't they just kissin' superficial cousins?--we need some new gays to rescue pop culture from the old ones.


"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali
