Today, Ali Larter is thankful. Thankful that she’s being interviewed by Al Roker? Probably not. Thankful that she received from American Women in Radio and Television the 2008 Gracie award for outstanding supporting actress in a drama? Naturally. Thankful that Barack Obama has replaced George W Bush as president of the United States? She certainly wouldn’t be in a minority.
Personally, I think she’s thankful because it’s Thanksgiving and she’s watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade. What do you think?
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
