'Black Coal, Thin Ice' Clears China Censorship, Gets March Release Date

Posted: at 11:41 pm

The Golden Bear winner at the Berlin Film Festival, Black Coal, Thin Ice, Diao Yinan's offbeat contemporary noir, will be released in China on March 21, having cleared censorship.

There had been concerns that the movie might not make it past the Film Bureau because the subject matter of the film examines contemporary Chinese issues, which is not always a favored theme for the censors.

Lead actor Liao Fan, who plays an alcoholic former detective in the quirky noir movie, won the Silver Bear for best actor, the first Chinese actor to win in this category.

Black Coal, Thin Ice was the fourth mainland Chinese movie to win the Golden Bear, after Xie Fei's Women From the Lake of Scented Souls in 1993, Zhang Yimou's Red Sorghum in 1988 and Wang Quan'an's Tuya's Marriage in 2007.

The coal mining industry is politically sensitive in China, and the government doesn't like movies set in the business. There have been numerous corruption cases centered around private mine owners in northeast China as well as appalling mine disasters because owners cut costs in the wrong places.

The film's producer and director had previously said the movie had passed censorship, but no date had been formalized.

Another film that was in competition at Berlin was Ning Hao's No Man's Land. It had been banned for over four years for its "nihilist" theme, before finally securing a release in recent months. A previous Silver Bear winner, 2003's Blind Shaft by Li Yang, which also took place in the mining industry, was banned in China.

CNN Poll: Rand Paul goes where his father never went

Posted: at 11:41 pm

Washington (CNN) - Rand Paul has done something his father never did - top the list of potential Republican presidential candidates in a national poll.

According to a new CNN/ORC International survey, 16% of Republicans and independents who lean toward the GOP say they would be likely to support the senator from Kentucky for the 2016 nomination.

Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee, garnered 15%, with longtime Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who's considering another bid for the White House, at 11%.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a 2008 GOP presidential candidate, is the only other Republican tested in the survey to crack double digits.

The poll's sampling error means that statistically it's not a win for Paul, but his finish is a breakthrough for his family.

A national Quinnipiac poll found Paul tied with Ryan in January for the top spot. That appears to be as close as either Rand Paul or his father, Ron Paul, has ever come to nabbing first place all by himself in any national poll.

Among the other potential presidential hopefuls in the new CNN survey, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is at 9%, with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas each at 8%.

Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida registered 5% and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, who battled eventual GOP nominee Mitt Romney deep into the 2012 GOP primary and caucus calendar, polled 3%.

"With a crowded field and no clear frontrunner among the potential candidates, we should expect to see constant fluctuation in the amount of support most candidates get and the order of finish, so it would be easy to read too much into these numbers," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

While Paul is only 1 point ahead of Ryan, his placement is symbolic.

Transhumanist Children's Book Argues, "Death Is Wrong"

57764131 story Posted by samzenpus on Sunday March 16, 2014 @12:35PM from the do-you-want-to-live-forever? dept. destinyland writes "Hoping to inspire life-extending medical research, science fiction author Gennady Stolyarov has launched a campaign to give away 1,000 free copies of his transhumanist picture book for children, Death is Wrong. 'My greatest fear about the future is not of technology running out of control or posing existential risks to humankind,' he explains. 'Rather, my greatest fear is that, in the year 2045, I will be...wondering, "What happened to that Singularity we were promised by now...?"' Along with recent scientific discoveries, the book tells its young readers about long-lived plants and animals '"that point the way toward lengthening lifespans in humans,' in an attempt to avoid a future where children 'would pay no more attention to technological progress and life-extension possibilities than their predecessors did.'"

Children's Book Teaches Kids 'Death Is Wrong'

When Gennady Stolyarov II was five years old, living in Belarus as the Soviet Union teetered on the brink of collapse, he asked his mother what happens to people when they grow up.

"They go to school," she answered.

And then?

"They work and get married."

And then? And then?

Eventually, his mother ran out of answers. "And then they die," she said.

So begins Stolyarov's Death Is Wrong, a children's book that describes the author's struggle with the concept of death. The narrative refutes the notion that death is the inevitable conclusion of life. Stolyarov hopes it will teach children that bodily decline is, in fact, a state that can and must be overcome through technological progress.

Referring to his first encounter with the concept of death, Stolyarov tells Mashable, "I was bewildered. Why do innocent people who have done nothing wrong deserve the death penalty?"
