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.

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.
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.
