Ryan Gosling is man of many talents. These include acting and, apparently, making all the ladies swoon. Now, he's adding onto that by testing the waters on the directing and writing side of filmmaking. On Deadline Hollywood, they talk about the film "How To Catch A Monster" and state that it will be "Ryan Gosling's Directing Debut." In fact, the article is about how Marc Platt and Adam Siegel will also produce from Marc Platt Productions, along with the magic man himself, Ryan Gosling. Not only that, but Ryan Gosling will also be writing the script for the movie.
Producer, Marc Platt compliments "He [Ryan Gosling] has composed a beautifully haunting script and has a very clear vision of how he will bring it to life. His ability to draw audiences into his world as an actor will serve him well as a filmmaker." Nick Meyer also said something similar, mentioning that Ryan Gosling's ability to connect with audiences will serve him well in the director's chair.
"How to Catch a Monster" has no release date yet, but is told be a film with elements of fantasy noir, and with suspense mixed with a modern day fairytale. "Set against the surreal dreamscape of a vanishing city, Billy, a single mother of two, is swept into a macabre and dark fantasy underworld while her teenage son discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town. Both Billy and Bones must dive deep into the mystery, if their family is to survive."

Dish Network Deletes Commercials? Woah!
Actually, Dish Network doesn't delete commercials. However, they're doing something similar that makes some of their primetime hosts... 'upset'. "Fox Asks Court to Bar Dish DVR Ad-Zapper" is an article discussing how Fox is stating that Dish Network has broken a contract through copyright infringement and so Fox wants a preliminary federal injunction against them (fun week for Fox huh?).
Well, what exactly happened? If you've seen the commercials, Dish Network is advertising their new device called the "Hopper" which is also known as AutoHop. What AutoHop does is skip commercials when and while recording your favorite TV show.
As we all know, advertisements are where the television and broadcast stations make their money. After all, advertisers pay for their commercial to be aired, so I can understand why Fox is claiming that the federal court for the Central District of California should block Dish Network "from further infringement of Fox's copyrighted television programs..." Clearly, their advertisers were not happy with Dish Network's move. Likewise, this is what got me interested in the article. Advertisements are everywhere nowadays. If one doesn't have cable, advertisers go onto the online world such as Youtube.
Even though people dislike commercials, commercials are essential to TV and even the internet. Without it, your favorite show might not even be on the air. Youtube might struggle by not making a profit.

Tsk, Tsk, Fox Entertainment Group.
This week in entertainment news, there has been a scandal. Well, not necessarily a scandal but more of a flabbergasting lawsuit that had involved a plethora of unpaid interns. Where exactly did these people intern at? No other than Fox Searchlight Pictures. On August 24, 2012, The Fox Internship Lawsuit will take place and so far, it does not look so good for Fox.
The case began around last year, the fall of 2011. The main issue discussed was that there were unpaid interns who had to do rigorous jobs when working for the film "Black Swan". Nevertheless, Fox Searchlight Pictures placed the blame on "Black Swan" director Darren Aronofsky for the two unpaid interns. Since then, there were no further inquires and no more interns came out to say anything about the issue... until now. Two more plaintiffs (one corporate intern and the other a production intern) have recently confessed that at Fox they were "hired to work there were not paid, even though they were required to fill out I-9 forms, sign confidentiality agreements and were deemed 'employees' covered under workers' compensation laws."
