Film 2008: Hollywood and the presidential race
There’s a really good bit towards the end of this episode of Film 2008 (did I ever tell you I knew someone who went to school with Barry Norman’s daughter?) about Hollywood’s involvement in the US presidential race (it would evidently be career suicide for a movie star to endorse a Republican). Nice bit of opportunistic journalism: the reporters are in place, the promotional interviews with movie stars booked – so why don’t we just work up a five minute insert about the primaries? I wish Film 2008 was a bit more magazine-y actually. I think I’d like it better.
