David A. Goodman is running unopposed for a second two-year term as president of the Writers Guild of America West.
Goodman, who has become the public voice of the guild during its bitter standoff with Hollywood agents, also ran unopposed in 2017 when he succeeded Howard Rodman in the post.
The WGA West announced Friday that its negotiating committee had sought a second unidentified candidate for the presidency but that person opted not to run. Goodman could still face opposition if another candidate opts to run by petition, which would require submission of 25 member signatures by July 23.
Goodman served as executive producer of Seth MacFarlane’s “Family Guy” between 2005 and 2012. He broke into the business in 1986 as a story editor on “The Golden Girls” and has writing and producing credits on “Enterprise,” “American Dad,” “Allen Gregory,” “Futurama,” “Babes,” and “Stark Raving Mad.”
The WGA standoff with agents appears to have no end in sight.

We've got a few new entertaining Spider-Man: Homecoming videos for you to check out today! The first is a weird cross-promotional promo that features Spider-Man showing off his dance moves. He then joins a hipster who's dancing alone in his apartment for some reason. It's an amusingly strange commercial for an Italian internet and cable company called Tim,
We also have a preview of the musical score for you to listen to. The movie was scored by composer Michael Giacchino and this gives us a taste of what we're in for. It's a suite that includes a collection of some of the orchestral themes we’ll hear in the movie. I included a full tracklist for the soundtrack below the videos. Unfortunately, there's nothing really iconic being displayed. One thing that I wish were better about the Marvel movies are the musical scores. Everything they do in that aspect just feels generic.

If there's anyone out there who fits the bill of overseeing a mini-film festival of three shorts blending video game premises with familiar tropes from people's favorite horror movies better than Joe Lynch, we can't think of who it might be. Which is why we're super-excited to share the news about his latest project for G4TV.com's Epictober celebration, which begins October 24th. Read on for the details!
As USA Today explains it, this is what Joe is up to:
Before he got his current gig on the upcoming FEARnet horror sitcom "Holliston" and directed Knights of Badassdom (coming to a theater near you in early 2012), Lynch acted as creative director for the G4 TV cable network's website, in charge of developing Web series and live coverage for E3, Comic-Con and other events.

To create the entertainment of the future, writer-director Drew Daywalt reaches back into the past to fuel his imagination. The creator of Camera Obscura, the upcoming supernatural thriller web series from Mwg Entertainment, draws much of his inspiration from the short form storytelling of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on the horror of anticipation. Camera Obscura shares the sense of dread prevalent in such literary classics as Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," and the works of H.P. Lovecraft. The series follows Clara, an orphan brought up by her alcoholic, absent grandfather. After he dies, she finds a camera that belonged to him, and discovers that it can capture demons.
