Oprah thinks she was a slave in another life.
Selma is just down the road from the little cotton patch Oprah came from in north Kosciusko.
Attala Co. Mississippi
Well, shes a dunce in this one.
I think she went because she’s a rich, b**ch hypocrite on a wealth guilt trip. She wants the “little people” to think that she’s one of them.
Okra is pumping OWN.
Seen Jessie and Al making the big bucks and no one likes her last two movies.
Let me see.. There is today, MLK. February a whole month.
Black Friday and oh yes Selma50..don’t forget that one.
Be sure to look under your seats!
Just a very inexpensive but cheap publicity stunt for her movie
lol
Wow so in a former life she thinks she was sold, while in her younger life this time around she sold herself, and in her current time of life she feels we should buy whatever she sells!
Yet she is silent on the Slavery and Genocide taking place right now in her Home Country.
Orpah, the new Al Sharpton. Phhhttt!
Boy, that Oprah looks like she’s been rode hard and hung up to dry wet.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I seem to recall two previous film ventures she was involved in. Due to tanking ticket sales, she suddenly came forth with tales of being humiliated in Europe, because she wanted to buy a high end handbag, but the clerks tried to steer her towards less expensive items. Not one time, but twice !
Jessie and Al get all the attention for profiting from race baiting, but it seems to me that Orca is a lot better, at it.
And that she's a victim in this one. Of something besides herself, that is.
Anyway, as always, Rush nails it. Reality, and the obvious faces of it, are so obscured these days that it's a real happening when someone points it out.
Makes one want to go and buy an "A".
Gotta sell some movie tickets up in here.
So no one would forget what 10 pounds of liver looks like in a 5 pound bag...........

HOW I GAVE OPRAH HER START
by Roger Ebert
November 16, 2005
(snip)
It begins early one morning in Baltimore, where Gene Siskel and I are scheduled to appear on a morning talk show hosted by a newcomer named Oprah Winfrey. The other guests on the show include a vegetarian chef, and four dwarfs dressed as chipmunks, who will sing “The Chipmunk Christmas Song” while dancing with Hula-Hoops.

I realize during this show that Oprah Winfrey is a natural on television, although she could use a better booker.

Oprah Winfrey was hired away from the Baltimore station to host “AM Chicago.” It was opposite the top-rated Phil Donahue. Within a few weeks, Phil Donahue was no longer top-rated. Oprah’s show was expanded to an hour and became a smash hit.
Simple math
At about this time, Oprah and I went out on a date. Well, actually two dates, but the one that made history began when we went to the movies. Afterward, we went to the Hamburger Hamlet for dinner, my treat.
“I don’t know what to do,” she told me. “The ABC stations want to syndicate my show. So does King World. The problem with syndication is that if your show isn’t successful, you’re off the air in three months. The ABC stations own themselves, so they can keep you on. Which way do you think I should go?”
I took a napkin and a ballpoint pen, and made some simple calculations.
Line 1: How much I made in a year for doing a syndicated television show.
Line 2: Times 2, because Siskel made the same.
Line 3: Times 2, because Oprah would be on for an hour, instead of half an hour.
Line 4: Times 5, because she would be on five days a week.
Line 5: Times 2, because her ratings would be at least twice as big as “Siskel & Ebert.”
I pushed the napkin across the table. Oprah studied it for 10 seconds.
“Rog, I’m going with King World,” she said.
With simple high-school level math, you can now figure out how much Oprah Winfrey makes in a year for her show:
Step 1: Estimate how much I made in a year, 20 years ago.
Step 2: Carry out the other multiplications described above.
Step 3: Times 20.
