Been opened since a day or two ago. Was looking forward to Christopher Nolan's Tenet next month. The film's worldwide release date has again been postponed. China also seem to ban foreign films with long running times. Tenet is over 2.5 hours.

Interview: The Linden Centre in Xizhou
发布者Bump for this fine interview by Chris. Oldie but a goodie. Rest assured Brian and Jeanee, The Linden Centre is still standing magnificently. The patio view of the moutainscape is sublime.
