Today’s Winner has made the most of his big break, or he’s made a great deal of it at least. Super Size Me was the great stunt documentary of the decade just past: like a Jackass bit in slow motion. I guess, to some degree, it accomplished some part of its aim. We now have posted calorie counts in the city where the film was assembled. And McDonlad's, I guess, is well on its way to extinction. Or, you know, unless, not.
His most bankable asset, I think, is his voice. I enjoyed his TV documentary series pretty well. But I think he belongs in radio.
Actually, I think National Public Radio belongs on television. I guess the Al Gore channel has partly tried to ape the NPR style of non-fiction storytelling, with slovenly results. But I feel quite strongly that the cutting edge of the next decade in television “news”, whatever that will amount to ten years from now, is going to be provided by people honing their skills in public radio today. I suppose this point is obvious. Still, Ira Glass aside, why is this process taking so long? I really do think NPR-on-TV-with-commercials is going to make somebody a lot of money, and soon; I just with they’d get it going already. George Soros, David Geffen, Mike Bloomberg, somebody? Anybody?
