Ohioan uses TV commercial to propose to girlfriend
MEDINA, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man has used a TV commercial to make a pitch for marriage, delivering an on-air proposal to his girlfriend.
David Jones told Dee Horton to watch a midday newscast on Cleveland’s WJW-TV because he said he was going to appear in an ad playing a superhero.
Horton and co-workers tuned in Thursday at a hair salon in suburban Medina (meh-DY’-nuh) but saw Jones in a message asking, “How about you and I show the world what true love is all about?” He pulled out a ring and proposed.
The TV stations had cameras in the salon as Jones popped out in person. The couple embraced as his bride-to-be said yes.
Jones works in video production and says he wanted to propose in a way they’d never forget.

Antoine Dodson, other YouTube stars join for filmJake Coyle, Entertainment Writer
NEW YORK (AP) – A collection of Internet stars from Antoine Dodson to the Double Rainbow Guy are making a movie.
Producer Andrew Fischer has gathered more than a half-dozen YouTube stars for “The Chronicles of Rick Roll.” He is shooting the film and has released a trailer online. The 26-year-old Fischer calls it an “epic comedy.”
The film stars Dodson, known for the Bed Intruder Song, Bear Vasquez (“Double Rainbow Guy”), Brian Collins (“Boom Goes the Dynamite”), Ben Schulz (“Leeroy Jenkins”), Gary Brolsma (“Numa Numa”), and Stephen and Jack Quire (“Greatest Freakout Ever”). Together they account for hundreds of millions of YouTube views.
Although the film’s title refers to the misleading Rick Astley Internet meme, Fischer says the film is authentic.
“The next trailer will show that it’s not just some giant elaborate prank,” Fischer says.
The film is being shot on hi-definition digital. Fischer hopes for a theatrical release, but has not secured distribution. The Colorado-based marketing firm NURV, of which Fischer is CEO, is producing the film.
“Our goal is to utilize the fan base and the celebrity status that these household names have, even though they’re not in Hollywood, in order to produce something that maybe changes the way Hollywood looks at casting,” says Fischer.
Fischer says he would welcome cameos from more Internet stars.

Winter’s Bone’ celebrated at pre-Oscar party
Sandy Cohen, Entertainment Writer
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) – Far from the urban desperation of “Biutiful” or the meth-riddled rural life of “Winter’s Bone,” stars of those two Oscar-nominated films celebrated their good fortune at a private penthouse party at one of the city’s newest hotspots.
Oscar nominees Javier Bardem, Jennifer Lawrence and John Hawkes celebrated alongside “Winter’s Bone” writer-director Debra Granik and “Biutiful” writer-director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Thursday at Soho House, a new membership-only club home to a flurry of Oscar-related events this week.
With sweeping views of Los Angeles and the homey-yet-elegant feel of a family library heavy on leatherbound books, the new spot will also house Oscar parties for Swarovski, Lacoste, Women in Film and Mercedez Benz.
Thursday’s fete, sponsored by Roadside Attractions, was simply celebratory. Guests including David O. Russell, nominated for best director for “The Fighter,” and last year’s best director Kathryn Bigelow mingled with the studio’s Oscar nominees.
“Biutiful,”which tells the story of a dying man trying to leave a legacy for those he loves, is up for best foreign-language film. Bardem, its star, is nominated for best actor. “Winter’s Bone,” about a girl unraveling the mystery of her father’s disappearance in the rural Ozarks, is nominated for best picture and best adapted screenplay, along with first-time acting nods for Lawrence and Hawkes.
ABC, Oscars extend contract through 2020NEW YORK (AP) – The Oscars are staying at ABC.
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences and ABC announced Thursday that they have extended their contract to domestically broadcast the Oscars through 2020. This extends their previous agreement by six years.
ABC has broadcast the Oscars for 36 consecutive years, including Sunday’s ceremony. Academy executive director Bruce Davis says ABC has “consistently demonstrated an understanding of what makes us unique.”
No plan was announced to extend international rights, which are contracted to Walt Disney International through 2014. The Walt Disney Co. owns ABC.
Last year’s Oscars drew an audience of 41.7 million viewers.
The 83rd Academy Awards airs Sunday at 8 p.m. EDT.
Pinewood to help build TV, film studios in DomRepSANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) – The owner of the British-based movie studios where Harry Potter and James Bond films are made said Wednesday that it will build a new facility in the Dominican Republic.
Pinewood Shepperton Plc said it is partnering with Indomina Group to build new movie and television studios next year under a venture called Pinewood Indomina Studios.
Indomina is managed by Dominican sugar giant Vicini and will be responsible for financing the project, which will be built on a 35-acre (14-hectare) site in San Pedro de Macoris, east of the capital of Santo Domingo.
Pinewood said it will receive annual fees for its sales and management services.
It is unclear how much the project will cost. A Vicini spokesman did not immediately return calls for comment.
The studio will feature a 53,800-square-foot (5,000-square-meter) sound stage along with an eight-acre (three-hectare) water-effects facility that calls for an exterior water tank and a fully equipped diving and marine department.
Global box office up 8 pct on 3-D, overseas growth
Ryan Nakashima
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Movie ticket revenue from theaters around the world hit a new high of $31.8 billion in 2010, an 8 percent increase from a year ago, driven by international growth and the popularity of 3-D movies, the Motion Picture Association of America said Wednesday.
Asian ticket revenue grew the most in dollar terms, rising $1.5 billion, or 21 percent, to $8.7 billion. More than 40 percent of that growth came from the boom in movie-going in China, the MPAA said.
However, association president Bob Pisano complained that tight restrictions on foreign films in China crimp profits despite the popularity of Hollywood movies.
“The Chinese box office market is just doing gangbusters,” Pisano told reporters on a conference call. “Hopefully at some point in the near term, people who import films into China will be able to enjoy the financial rewards.”
Theatrical revenue in the U.S. and Canada was flat at $10.6 billion, while in Europe, t he Middle East and Africa, revenue grew 5 percent to $10.4 billion. Latin American revenue grew 25 percent to $2.1 billion.
In North America, 3-D releases accounted for 21 percent of revenue, up from 11 percent a year ago, bolstered by ticket upcharges, more 3-D-ready screens, and an increase in the number of 3-D movies to 25 from 20 a year earlier.
The number of films released by the MPAA’s six major studio members – Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox – fell by 17 films, or 11 percent, to 141 as they focused on big-budget blockbusters and fewer niche releases. Non-MPAA members released 22 more films, up 5 percent, at 419.
Average ticket prices in the U.S. and Canada rose 5 percent to $7.89, but admissions fell 5 percent to 1.34 billion. On average, people in the two countries went to the movies 4.1 times per year, down from 4.3 in 2009 and off the peak of 5.2 times in 2002.
One of the movie industry’s biggest challe nges is luring back members of the Baby Boom generation – that large chunk of people born right after World War II – who are going to the movies less often as they age, Pisano said.
MTV to debut ‘O’ Music Awards, with the ‘O’ TBDJake Coyle, Entertainment Writer
NEW YORK (AP) – MTV is naming its new digital music awards the OMAs – and leaving the “O” up for grabs.
The network is to announce Thursday that the O Music Awards will take place April 28. MTV is leaving the “O” undefined and open to interpretation from viewers.
The awards, the network said, “honor the migration of music to the digital space, and celebrate the art, artistry and technology of digital music.” MTV plans to present an untraditional, heavily interactive award show, spread out across multiple screens, including the Internet, social media and mobile.
MTV hopes the show will do for digital music what its Video Music Awards, launched in 1984, did for the music video.
“We think this space now needs an award show,” said Dermot McCormack, head of MTV Music Group digital. “We think we’re fairly well qualified to come up with a way of rewarding achievement in these new categories.”
MTV, which is part of the Viacom-owned MTV Networks, will later announce a “hub” for the event and categories. Categories could include things like best app and best Kanye West tweet. Social media buzz will play a role in choosing the winners.

Barbados lifts ban on ‘Black Swan’ after outcryBRIDGETOWN, Barbados (AP) – A censorship board has reversed a decision to ban theaters in Barbados from showing “Black Swan” because of its sexual and violent content.
The Cinematograph Film Censorship Board reviewed its decision after a theater filed an appeal. The board announced Wednesday the movie would be shown under an “R” rating.
Hundreds of people signed an online petition asking the Caribbean nation’s board to reverse its decision. Hundreds more joined a Facebook page titled “For Freedom of Thought and Expression in Barbados.”
The psychosexual thriller is nominated for a best picture Oscar.
Whoopi: Lack of black Oscar nominees not a trendNEW YORK (AP) – Whoopi Goldberg said Wednesday that the lack of black nominees in major categories of this year’s Academy Awards doesn’t reflect a trend in the film industry.
Speaking after hosting the opening of an exhibit of Oscar statues inside New York’s Grand Central Terminal, Goldberg underscored that five black actors have won Academy Awards since 2002.
“I don’t know how it gets better,” she said after posing for pictures. “I think we’re all right.”
Goldberg recently said on her show “The View” that she was upset about an article in The New York Times citing the lack of black nominees this year because it didn’t mention her supporting actress Oscar for 1990’s “Ghost.”
The Times said she misread the story and that it was not meant to be a comprehensive list of all actors who had won Oscars. Goldberg later apologized for calling the reporting sloppy.
She tried to clarify her comments about the story Wednesday, saying it was inaccurate to think there’s “something wrong” with the way blacks are represented at the Oscars. She said strides have been made since 1939 when Hattie McDaniel won for best supporting actress, becoming the first black awarded an Oscar.
“This idea that there’s something wrong, something missing, seemed very inaccurate to me. And it was,” she said. “And there are a lot of people in that small little world of black Oscar folks. And, yeah. If you’re going to talk about it, then talk about it. Don’t sort of talk around it. That was my point.”
Goldberg was chosen to host the opening of the Oscars exhibit at Grand Central Terminal “a couple weeks ago,” said Patrick Harrison, a spokesman for The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science, which puts on the Academy Awards each year.
He said her appearance was not linked to the controversy stirred up by her comments about the Times article. “That came after we had asked her to participate in this event,” he said.
Harrison said she was chosen because she was a two-time Academy Award nominee, had hosted the awards show four times and was “very much” a New Yorker.
The exhibit will be open through Sunday, ending before the Oscars begin.
‘Deadliest Catch’ crew member found dead in motel
Rachel D’oro
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – A member of the hit cable TV show “Deadliest Catch” fishing crew has been found dead in an Alaska motel room, police said Wednesday.
Justin Tennison, who worked on the Time Bandit, one of the vessels on the popular Discovery Channel reality series that depicts the crab fishing industry in the dangerous waters off Alaska, was found dead Tuesday afternoon in Homer, authorities said.
Beer, hard liquor and a small amount of marijuana were found in the room, Homer police Lt. Randy Rosencrans said. Police believe a party was held in the room on Monday night – two rooms were registered under Tennison’s name and nearby guests complained about the noise.
The 33-year-old Tennison is set to make a posthumous debut in the series’ seventh season, which is scheduled to begin in April, Discovery spokesman Josh Weinberg said.
The cause of death was unknown Wednesday afternoon and foul play isn’t suspected, Rosencrans said. An autopsy by the state medical examiner’s office was scheduled to take place later Wednesday.
The death comes a little more than year after Capt. Phil Harris of the “Deadliest Catch” fishing vessel Cornelia Marie died following a massive stroke at age 53.
Johnnie To romance, short films to open HK festMin Lee
HONG KONG (AP) – Hong Kong veteran Johnnie To’s new romantic comedy as well as short films directed by Cannes-winning filmmakers from the Philippines and Thailand will open the 35th Hong Kong International Film Festival in March.
Organizers announced Thursday that To’s “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” will open the event along with “Quattro Hong Kong 2,” an omnibus film comprising four shorts set in Hong Kong that was commissioned by the festival.
The shorts were directed by Thailand’s Apichatpong Weerasethakul, the Philippines’ Brillante Mendoza, Hong Kong’s Stanley Kwan and Malaysia’s Ho Yu-hang.
Apichatpong won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival last year for the drama “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives.” Mendoza was named Cannes best director in 2009 for the crime thriller “Kinatay.”
“Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” which pairs Chinese actress Gao Yuanyuan with Hong Kong heartthrob Louis Koo and Chinese-American Daniel Wu , is part of To’s recent push into the mainland Chinese market. The veteran director is best known for his stylish action thrillers but is now hoping to reach a broader audience in China with light comedies.
As their contributions to “Quattro Hong Kong 2,” Apichatpong shot the segment “M Hotel” in Hong Kong’s Yau Ma Tei residential and shopping district and Mendoza made “Purple” – a reference to the color of Hong Kong’s official flower, the bauhinia. The Philippine filmmaker shot at Hong Kong’s flower market and the outyling fishing village of Tai O, best known for its houses on stilts.
Malaysian Ho shot the comedy “Open Verdict,” starring veteran Hong Kong actress Wai Ying-hung, while Kwan contributed “13 Minutes in the Lives of …,” which he said is a sentimental look at a Hong Kong bus ride.
“For a filmmaker who is spending more and more time in mainland China these past few years, coming back to Hong Kong is especially emotional. The emotions are compl ex,” Kwan told The Associated Press.
The Hong Kong festival will also feature a retrospective of Wai’s movies and a master class by Venice-winning Chinese director Jia Zhangke. Organizers will also stage the Asian premiere of “Vampire,” the English debut of Japanese director Shunji Iwai starring Kevin Segers, Rachael Leigh Cook and Keisha Castle-Hughes. Iwai is a music video and TV director-turned-filmmaker who made his name with the 1995 romance “Love Letter.”
The Hong Kong festival, which runs from March 20 to April 5, will feature some 300 movies from 56 countries.

‘Black Swan’ tutus twirl inside new art exhibitSandy Cohen, Entertainment Writer
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) – While Natalie Portman is celebrating her best actress nomination at the Academy Awards, the tutus she wore in “Black Swan” will be spinning endlessly just down the street.
Six tutus designed for Portman to wear in the film will be on display as part of “Rodarte: States of Matter,” a new exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art.
The tutus – three black, three white – are shown alongside other black and white textured dresses by Kate and Laura Mulleavy, the sister design duo behind Rodarte, a couture brand favored by celebrities and fashionistas. The dresses hang throughout the Pacific Design Center suspended on nearly invisible resin mannequins made just for the exhibit. A tiny hidden motor spins the tutus constantly, one revolution a minute.
Making the tutus was difficult, the sisters said, but it helped them see clothing as sculpture – a theme of the exhibit. And the two are California natives who now live in suburban Pasadena, so they enjoyed getting involved with the movie business that’s always been in their backyard.
“It’s exciting to be part of a legacy that’s not changing every six months, because our (industry) is about a constant renewal of ideas,” Laura Mulleavy said. “With a film, the costume, it’s not renewing that idea of the costume within that film… It lasts.”
Court bars streaming of TV programming online
Joelle Tessler, Technology Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) – In a key victory for television broadcasters, a federal court has ordered a Seattle start-up called ivi Inc. to stop distributing broadcast signals over the Internet without their consent.
The U.S. District Court in New York issued a preliminary injunction against ivi on Tuesday barring the company from streaming copyright-protected broadcast programming online.
Ivi captures over-the-air broadcast signals from stations in Seattle, New York, Chicago and Los Angeles and delivers them to subscribers who have downloaded its ivi TV player, which costs $4.99 a month.
The company is being sued for copyright infringement by the big broadcast networks, local stations in New York and Seattle, public broadcasters, several large movie studios and Major League Baseball.
Ivi said it will shut down its broadcast channel offerings while it appeals the court ruling.
“The oppressive big media networks must open their doors to innovators or they will inevitably fall,” the company said in a statement. “People want responsible choice, not the one-size-fits-all television offerings imposed by powerful media interests.”
In court, ivi has argued that it is entitled to the same rights to distribute broadcast programming that federal copyright law automatically grants cable TV operators.
Tuesday’s court ruling rejected that reasoning, concluding that ivi does not qualify as a cable system.
The National Association of Broadcasters said it welcomed the decision.
‘Fan cut’ of Bieber documentary to be releasedNEW YORK (AP) – A “fan cut” of the documentary “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” will be released Friday.
Paramount announced Monday that director Jon M. Chu has re-edited the Bieber concert film based on fan suggestions. The studio says the new 115-minute cut includes 40 minutes of new footage.
Chu followed Bieber for 10 days on a recent concert tour. He said he had an “embarrassment of riches” in leftover footage and sought out suggestions from Bieber fans on Twitter and Facebook.
“Never Say Never” has earned $51.4 million at the domestic box office since being release Feb. 11. The new edit allows Paramount to further capitalize on the fanatical fan base of the 16-year-old pop star.
The revamped film will play in 3-D theaters for one week.
France’s Gondry to lead Cannes short film juryPARIS (AP) – The Cannes Film Festival says inventive French director Michel Gondry will lead the jury of its short film competition.
The “Green Hornet” director is the latest in a long line of prestigious directors to preside over the jury, including Martin Scorsese and Atom Egoyan.
Gondry has won considerable critical acclaim for his seven feature films, which include 2004’s “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and 2006’s “The Science of Sleep.” He’s also made several shorts and dozens of music videos.
The 64th edition of the prestigious French Riviera festival runs May 11-22. U.S. actor Robert De Niro will lead the jury for the main competition, and Woody Allen’s new “Midnight in Paris” will open the festival.
Oliver Stone wins Boulder Film Festival awardBOULDER, Colo. (AP) – Director Oliver Stone has been awarded a “Master of Cinema” award by the Boulder International Film Festival.
The Boulder Daily Camera reports the award was presented on Sunday, the last night of the festival.
Stone’s films have been nominated for 31 Academy Awards, and he has won three Oscars: best adapted screenplay for “Midnight Express” and best director for “Platoon” and “Born on the Fourth of July.”
Indonesians scramble to keep Hollywood filmsNiniek Karmini
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) – Indonesians are fighting to keep Hollywood films in local theaters after the Motion Picture Association of America warned that a new tax on foreign-made movies could lead to studios pulling out of the country.
Indonesian authorities see the tax as a way to protect the domestic film industry.
The MPAA has responded by saying that last week’s release of Oscar-nominated “Black Swan” could be the last for a Hollywood film in this nation of 237 million. Distributors from Europe and Asia have made similar warnings.
Film-lovers have taken to social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter to complain, while the country’s largest cinema chain begged Monday for the government to drop the tax.
“We’ll see theaters close one by one unless a solution is found,” warned Noorca Massardie, spokesman of 21 Cineplex, which has more than 500 screens.
Studios participating in the boycott include Paramount Pictures, Sonny Pictures Entertainment, Walt Disney Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox Film, Warner Bros Entertainment and Universal Pictures, leaving Indonesian movie fans gasping.
They spend an estimated $6.2 million a month at theaters.
“It’s outrageous!” one woman wrote on Facebook. “They’re taking away our right to watch high-quality films.”
She noted that domestic industry, still in its infancy stage, leaves much to be desired.
Minister of Culture Jero Wacik said the tax will be reviewed – given the public outcry and concerns expressed by major theaters – with a final decision expected in two weeks.
He refused to provide details about the new tax hike.
Co-producer of ‘Narnia’ films dies at 39 in NYCNEW YORK (AP) – Perry Moore, a co-producer of “The Chronicles of Narnia” film series and the author of an award-winning novel about a gay teenager with superpowers, was found unconscious in his bathroom and died later at a hospital, police said. He was 39.
His father, Bill Moore, told The New York Daily News in Saturday editions that an initial autopsy was inconclusive. “I have no clue what happened. The examiner said he was in good condition,” Bill Moore said. His father and friends said he suffered from chronic back pain.
Moore was found unconscious in the bathroom of his Manhattan home Thursday, and doctors couldn’t save his life, police said. The cause of death will be determined by the city’s medical examiner, but no foul play was suspected.
Moore had a varied career in television and in film, as producer, screenwriter and director. His 2007 novel, “Hero,” won the Lambda Literary Award for best novel for young gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender children or adults.
Moore, who was gay, said in an interview on his website that in writing the novel, he had wanted to tell the story of his father, a Vietnam veteran, “and his son.”
“Like most young people, I grew up feeling alienated and different – for very specific reasons in my case – in a place that didn’t value differences,” he said. “I also have this borderline-crazy belief in the power of literature to change the universe. So I’d always wanted to tell this story.”
Moore was an executive producer on all three hugely successful “Narnia” films, and authored a best-selling illustrated book for the first film, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” He directed a 2008 drama with Sissy Spacek called “Lake City” and co-directed a documentary about children’s book author Maurice Sendak with Hunter Hill and Spike Jonze. He scored a “Sexy Man of the Week” rating by People Magazine in 2007.
But it was his novel about a super-powered teenager that seemed to focus his passions. With “Hero,” he said he hoped to create a gay superhero who was not, he said, a supporting character, victim or token. “I decided I would write the definitive coming-of-age story of the world’s first gay teen superhero,” he said.
It was the death of one of the first prominent gay heroes in the Marvel Comics universe, Northstar, at the hands of X-Men’s Wolverine, that spurred him to finish the book. “He slaughtered the X-Men’s token gay hero,” Moore said. “I found this story be disturbing, to say the least.”
He compiled a list of gay characters in comics to show how most were “minor characters, and victims who are tortured, maimed and killed.”
Moore was born in Virginia Beach, Va., and majored in English at the University of Virginia, according to his website. He started his career in television at MTV and VH1, then worked for “The Rosie O’Donnell Show.” He later joined Walden Media, the company that produced the films based on C.S. Lewis’ “Narnia” books.
Iranian film wins at Berlin film festival
Geir Moulson
BERLIN (AP) – Iranian director Asghar Farhadi’s “Nader and Simin, A Separation,” a drama that centers on a disintegrating marriage, won the best movie honor and swept the acting awards at the Berlin film festival on Saturday.
A six-member jury led by actress Isabella Rossellini handed the movie the top Golden Bear prize and its ensemble cast, led by Peyman Moadi and Leila Hatami, both the best actor and the best actress awards.
“I never would have thought that I would win this prize,” Farhadi said as he collected the Golden Bear.
He added that it offers “a very good opportunity to think of the people of my country – the country I grew up in, the country where I learned my stories – a great people.”
The film highlights a clash between traditional and modern ways of living and thinking, as well as class differences.
It chronicles the events that follow a wife’s unsuccessful petition for a divorce, which she seeks when her husband r efuses to leave Iran with her and her daughter. He worries about leaving behind his father, who suffers from Alzheimer’s.
The wife then moves out and the man hires a pregnant, pious young woman who agrees to take care of his father, without telling her husband. One afternoon, a blazing argument is followed by the woman suffering a miscarriage – setting off a chain of events that shakes the family.
Iran has been in the spotlight at the Berlin festival because the jury’s official seventh member, Iranian director Jafar Panahi, was unable to come after being sentenced to six years in jail on charges of working against the ruling system.
Farhadi was honored as best director in Berlin two years ago for his previous movie, “About Elly.”
This year’s best director honor went to Ger many’s Ulrich Koehler for “Sleeping Sickness,” a film about an aid worker long based in Africa and his increasingly alienated wife.
Hungarian director Bela Tarr’s starkly minimalist, black-and-white “The Turin Horse,” the story of a farmer and his horse, won a runner-up Silver Bear.
Tarr, a veteran arthouse filmmaker, insisted that it would be his last movie. “I believe that, in this film, everything comes together,” he said after the award ceremony.
Argentine-born first-time director Paula Markovitch’s “The Prize,” an autobiographical film set in Argentina during the military dictatorship of the 1970s, won two prizes for outstanding artistic achievement.
They went to Wojciech Staron for his camerawork and Barbara Enriquez for the production design.
American director Joshua Marston and co-scriptwriter Andamion Murataj took the best script award for “The Forgiveness of Blood,” a drama set in Albania.
The festival’s Alfred Bauer prize for in novation went to German director Andres Veiel’s “If Not Us, Who,” a movie about the early years of some of the far-left Red Army Faction’s leading figures.
