Well, I'll certainly be viewing that film The Butler. It has a good cast and it sounds like a wonderful story.
I loved the old Oprah show too...and, like you, I miss it.

We saw The Butler last weekend. Really enjoyed it, the rest of the audience did too...they applauded at the end of the movie.

I'd like to see The Butler, but on Netflix or something (not in a movie). It will be nice to enjoy it at home and watch it repeatedly.
I don't need a crowd's reaction at a movie, cell phones going off, or people kicking my chair.

I;m still waiting for Oprah to go back to a network show. Don't you think she will?

You're right about that, but I remember seeing some Michael Moore film in NY and at the end there was a standing ovation by the audience. There is something about being in a group - like an emotional cloud that you all share, that joins you all for a nearly sublime moment.

I like classical concerts because of that, and plays.

And, when the thing ends, you all leave but there is a very neighborly feeling that goes on. Crowds can be very positive and healthy.

I don't know your politics, but something very tangible went on in the crowds when they found out that Obama won that first election - not that he lived up to his promises, nobody probably could, but people had real hope for change at the time.

Yes, goldengrain. I saw loads and loads of crowds outside (especially in Chicago). Some of the Chicago people danced, too. The non-dancers smiled at the ones who did (which was cute). Couples had their arms around each other. People were looking happy ... it was really nice. I can imagine the conversations and celebrations that occurred that evening and the rest of the week. I wouldn't be surprised if several babies were conceived that night.

You're right, no one could live up to those promises. There are too many obstacles.

I think that was just the studio for her old show which she no longer requires.

It might be her home, but I am not thinking it is her furnishings, meaning she moved and it was painted and staged? perhaps?

there was not one personal thing there, it looked like a total stage job to me.

I guess she had an apartment there, but on the show she showed her home in California - I think it was the show about her personal chef and how he had started his own restaurant. If I remember correctly, there was a lot of pink and rose. Too feminine to me, but very tasteful - not like this home for sale by kirstie alley:

The outside is really lovely, but the inside actually scares me.
