Uno Short Story Six years of jail. Six years of anger. Of pain. You were in solitary when they told you. Your name is Furio Moroni. In reality, you discover there's one other thing that's left. Almost without realizing it, you end up getting back together with Irene. At a motorway café, thieves steal your car with Uno inside. You could ignore it all. And at any rate, beyond this consideration, you just can't accept that when something is taken away from you, you don't react. You have good intuition, and through that you can mobilize your old acquaintances. Maybe he's already there. You arrive in Ljubljana braving the harsh winter cold, your disease, the fear that all this is a waste of time. Ana dumps you. You discover ditches filled with dog corpses immersed in lime. You begin a desperate race against time. When you wake up, you're in the hospital. You take off again. Somehow you manage to enter. They follow you through the forest. You start off again. You cry and smile at the same time.
Le piratage va-t-il tuer la distribution de films anglophones dans les salles de ciné françaises ? — Le futur de la distribution de films en France Au-delà de toutes ces très bonnes raisons, la donnée qui sous-tend tout cela est que le piratage des films est bien plus mondialisé que l’industrie du ciné. Une sortie américaine sonne le top départ de la course contre la montre avant la disponibilité du film sur Internet, pas la sortie française. Celle-ci doit donc se caler le plus près possible de celle américaine dans le meilleur des mondes. Ce n’est pas un hasard si les majors lancent leurs principaux films en l’espace de quelques jours dans le monde entier ou si certains avancent cette sortie au maximum. Je pense notamment à “Une merveilleuse histoire du temps” qui fut avancé du 15 mars 2015 à fin janvier, sans doute pour coller à la période de remise des prix aux Etats-Unis mais aussi sans doute pour éviter de subir le piratage massif du film. D’autres facteurs influent sur cette disponibilité de plus en plus rapide, des facteurs sur lesquels les distributeurs français, surtout les plus petits, n’ont aucune prise, aucun recours :
WOLF TOTEM by Jean-Jacques Annaud shot in 3D by Jean-Marie Dreujou AFC Adapted from Jiang Rong’s best-seller in China, the next Jean-Jacques Annaud movie, Wolf Totem, will be released in cinemas on February 19 in China, February 25 in France... This long feature has been shot in 3D by the french director of photography Jean-Marie Dreujou (AFC). He talked about his experience during the shooting... Jean-Marie Dreujou : Wolf Totem is my second chinese movie experience: I shot in 2001 «Balzac et la petite tailleuse chinoise »(“Xiao ai feng “/” Balzac and the little chinese Seamstress”) of Dai Sijie. What about the mixing of the teams ? What are the equipment you use on the shooting? What are your feelings concerning Angénieux lenses ? Regarding cameras, what do you use ? According to you, to what does this Angenieux distinctiveness come from ? How do you make your technical choices according to the constraints ? The second difficulty remains in following the evolution of a small wolf (one character of the movie) from its birth in April until the beginning of fall.
CSS Image Opacity / Transparency Have a Cigar: Cringe at the insanely misogynist radio ads of the Women’s Lib era Last Saturday was a typical Saturday for me, crate digging in the local thrift shops. One of my hard-and-fast rules of vinyl thrifting is always buy any never-before-seen oddball platter if it’s a dollar or less. You simply never know when you’re going to stumble across that undiscovered “break” that some hotshot DJ will fork over major-league cash for, or in this case, something so truly bizarre and wrongheaded that it warrants sharing with the rest of the world. Ladies and gentlemen, behold the album unearthed this past Saturday: a sealed copy of 20 of the World’s Best Advertisements. Procured for a mere 50 cents, this record was released in 1967 by the Chuck Blore Creative Services ad agency. Ostensibly the album is a promotional tool for the agency, collecting the “world’s best” ads from the time of Mad Men; but as I learned from needle dropping the first three tracks, the men who produced these ads were really (really) mad.
untitled Oliver Sacks on Learning He Has Terminal Cancer Over the last few days, I have been able to see my life as from a great altitude, as a sort of landscape, and with a deepening sense of the connection of all its parts. This does not mean I am finished with life. On the contrary, I feel intensely alive, and I want and hope in the time that remains to deepen my friendships, to say farewell to those I love, to write more, to travel if I have the strength, to achieve new levels of understanding and insight. This will involve audacity, clarity and plain speaking; trying to straighten my accounts with the world. I feel a sudden clear focus and perspective. This is not indifference but detachment — I still care deeply about the Middle East, about global warming, about growing inequality, but these are no longer my business; they belong to the future. I have been increasingly conscious, for the last 10 years or so, of deaths among my contemporaries. I cannot pretend I am without fear.
untitled Brutally Honest Oscar Ballot No. 5: I "Love" 'Sniper,' "Just Can't Do It Again" With Streep Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures 'American Sniper' This is a lightly edited transcript of a conversation with an Academy member who is not associated with any of this year's nominees about his ballot. A conversation with a different member will post each day leading up to the Oscars ceremony on Feb. 22. Needless to say, their views are not necessarily endorsed by Scott Feinberg or THR. VOTER PROFILE: A member of the Academy's 428-member sound branch who has been nominated for an Oscar. Selma was a really well-made film and very emotional for me. American Sniper? Oh, boy, I didn't care for Birdman. Boyhood was genuine and heartfelt. The Grand Budapest Hotel was really clever and I think it deserves more than it will get. The Imitation Game was powerful. I thought The Theory of Everything was absolutely brilliant and one of my favorite films of the year. Whiplash, to me, is about a performance. MY VOTE: Richard Linklater (Boyhood) Read more Oscars: Who Will Win, Who Should Win Mr.
www.nofrag.com HIV & AIDS Information :: HIV is increasing in gay men in London because of lack of testing, comparative study finds London and San Francisco lend themselves to a comparison of HIV rates because they both have good surveillance data. In London, the annual rate of new diagnoses of HIV in (all) men stayed static at about 580 cases per 100,000 men (one case per 172 men per year) between 2006 and 2012: the number of new diagnoses increased from 1200 to 1400, but this was due to more testing. In San Francisco, the rate of new diagnoses per 100,000 men fell from about 690 in 2006 to about 520 in 2011; preliminary figures from 2013 suggest a sharp fall to 435 cases per 100,000 (one case per 230 men per year). The annual number of diagnoses in San Francisco, a smaller city than London, has fallen from 420 a year to 300. True incidence – the actual rate of new infections – is always more difficult to establish than diagnoses because it is confounded by changes in testing rates, but one indicator is what proportion of diagnosed infections are recent (less than six months old). Why?
Le Monde 9 Historical Murder Mysteries Solved More Than A Century Later Though generally assumed by everyone that Richard III pulled a Lannister on the Princes Edward and Richard,the truth of their death remains an open case since there is no conclusive forensic evidence. This case is likely to remain unsolved,at least in material evidence. Flagged Looks as if the dog just discovered a clue behind the bed. Shutterbug Parents and Overexposed Lives Photo In “The Entire History of You,” the third episode of the dystopian British series “Black Mirror,” humans have developed implanted memory “grains” that record everything they see and hear. When users “redo” a memory by playing it back, the recreation even surpasses the original; they can zoom in on details or activate a lip-reading function to decipher unheard speech. I thought of the episode when a friend showed me some pictures and videos of his two young children. There is more visual documentation of his kids from the last couple of months than of my entire childhood in the ’80s and ’90s. I have, certainly, a wealth of memories from preadolescence. Are shutterbug parents wiping away their mental databases of experiences with their offspring while bulking up their digital ones? One recent study does suggest there is a “photo-taking-impairment effect” on memory. “In general, we remember the photographs,” Dr. Dr. Lucinda Blumenfeld, another subject, went even further.
