Trailer Park: Oprah Winfrey, Forest Whitaker in 'The Butler'Oprah Winfrey and Terrence Howard have joked about their intimate scenes in "The Butler," but the just released trailer indicates that the movie's tone is far more poignant than comedic.
Directed by Lee Daniels, "The Butler" is inspired by the true story of a man who served eight presidents as the White House's head butler from 1952 to 1986. Forest Whitaker stars as the "Butler," Cecil Gaines, and Winfrey plays his wife, Gloria. It's the OWN CEO's first live acting role since 1998's "Beloved." Given the span of time that Whitaker's character works in the White House, the cast is packed with a parade of A-listers to portray all of those leaders and their families. James Marsden stars as John F. Kennedy, with Minka Kelly cast as his wife, Jackie. Robin Williams is tasked with bringing Dwight Eisenhower to life, while Melissa Leo plays his wife, Mamie. Alan Rickman and Jane Fonda are Ronald and Nancy Reagan; John Cusack is Richard Nixon; and Liev Schreiber is Lyndon B. Johnson. "The Butler" is slated to open October 18.

Ummm, also playing presidents & nation leaders (Morgan Freeman), heroes/cops/agemts/ace pilots (Denzel, Danny Glover, Sam Jackson, Will Smith, James Earl Jones, Jamie Foxx), leading ladies (Halle Berry, Diana Ross, Phylicia Rashad, Kimberly Elise, Debbie Allen, Thandie Newton, Loretta Devine, Macy Gray, Whoopee Goldberg). On and on, hope you get my drift. My advice: Remove your head from your a** and look around.

J'ai merde sortir de mon trou du cul.
the cast is wonderful
the movie will be perfect.
With a A-1 cast like this the movie is going to be great! Were going to see what that man went through working in the white house as an African-American, in the 1940's,the the hidden views of all the first familys. Hopefully he was treated with the respect he deserved as a working man. I can not wait to see this movie. I already give it 2 thumbs up on casting alone.
If this movie is anything close to as good as this trailer suggests, it will be great.

Here is interracial dating site for black and white singles seeking interracial TRUE LOVE
It's been 75yrs since Hattie McDaniel played a slave on the big screen. This is 2013 and black people are still playing servants.
Until Hollywood stops doing so, it will continue. History is portrayed the good, bad and ugly. I once saw a movie made in black and white where millions of people were sent to camps and other places of death during WWII. Then I saw another movie showing the same thing only it was made just several years ago. It doesn't mean I will wake up tomorrow and be living it. It just means it's history. History depicted.
I remember reading about him. He made history. He is my history, a proud man. Stop it.

Loser.
Ah yes Richard Nixon. I can remember him getting off a plane, holding up his hands making peace signs, & shaking his cheeks...the cheeks in his face that is.
Another "SLAVE" movie from Oprah. She knows how to serve her Masters well.
Oprah did not do anything except be in the movie. It is about history–my history. Hey what were black people doing in the 40's and 50's? Stop it. He was a proud family man who at the time had as very good job.
thanks

Oprah is almost there...and a talent we will never forget...
For a woman who so publicly announced her retirement, why does she keep popping up more than a social disease at Spring Break?

He is very funny and talented..i've me him a number of times over the years
CowardFarts: My dog has a better command of language and spelling than you do. But then, my dog licks his a** too, so you have that in common.
