Please explain: NYT's Stephen Holden on "Obsessed"
by RT
Quote from Stephen Holden of the NYT in his review of “Obsessed”:
This was the last graph of the review of the movie, which stars Idris Elba, Ali Larter and Beyonce.
Not once did I think of OJ and Nicole Simpson when I saw the trailer for this movie. Holden seemed to have pulled this out of his butt, or maybe he had some repressed issues about the OJ case. I don’t know. But slapping this graph at the end of a review of a movie that just happens to involve an interracial pairing seems “off” to me.
And Idris Elba looks nothing like OJ Simpson.
THANK YOU! Omg, I thought I was going to fall out of my chair after seeing that. And I’m surprised no one else is saying anything. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
