Did anyone catch the Oprah v. James Frey fight yesterday?
Fortunately for Oprah, anger comes across really well in soft focus.
Unfortunately for everyone watching, schlocky-ness is also rendered particularly well in soft-focus, like the part at the end of the show where Oprah was spinning the whole episode with James "I have no idea if I had Novicaine during those two root canals" Frey into "the beginning of another truth," or some other 12-step-ism.
C'mon, Oprah, not everything has to have a message.
Still, mean Oprah is way more fun to watch than uncomfortable Oprah,
or care-about-the-kids Oprah,
or man-touching Oprah,
or creepy-portrait-of-Oprah-and-Steadman-by-a-fan Oprah.
Ok, I take that last one back.
But imagine how angry Oprah will get when she finds out that no one in her "Angel Network" is, in fact, an angel.
