So anyway, I go to the movies by myself (loser) and I see this hot blond chick. Of course I take a quick look, but I quickly look away when I realize she's with this huge black guy.
I forget about them and go inside the lobby. Inside the lobby I quickly start paying attention to them again when I realize they are standing with OJ Simpson.(Insert "tun-tun-tun-tuuunnn" music here).
I couldn't believe it. They walked out because the movie was still a few minutes away. I went inside the auditorium and picked a seat.
A few minutes later I'm looking around, and walking to seat in the row right behind mine was OJ Simpson himself. Since I was looking right at him, he looked right at me and said, "how you doing".
I grunted a hello back to him and looked away kinda quickly. He ended up sitting just a few chairs down from me, but in the row behind me.
So then the big black guy and the hot blond chick come in and sit next to him, which means the big black, whom I think I recognize but am not sure, is sitting practically behind me. I swear when I see the hot blond chick sitting between the two, I'm thinking, "for the Love of God woman, run! Save yourself!"
Needless to say, I was both horrified, but fascinated by the fact that this man was so near me.
I tried to listen to their conversation since they were so close, but all I really heard was OJ saying that "the special effects in the Perfect Storm were supposed to be very innovative", and some sort of wise crack about having to be a big Mel Gibson fan to sit through a three hour movie.
When the movie actually started, I couldn't help but think ugly thoughts.
I mean, there's a lot of blood in this movie, a lot of which is brought about by stabbing and chopping.
All the while I couldn't help but think that this man was accused of doing the very same thing. I mean, was he watching this and feeling guilty? Was he watching and thinking, hmm, I like that technique?
Who knows, right?
Maybe I shouldn't say this, but during one particularly brutal attack scene, he did giggle a little. Really.
Anyway, so I sat through this nearly three hour movie while all the while having one of the most infamous men in American history right by me.
Oh, and for the record, I walked out right behind them, and he drove a SUV…but it was black instead of white.
