Hi Herbie,

You're a bit behind the times I'm afraid. As has been widely reported, Obama confirmed he would attend Copenhagen weeks ago.

President Obama will almost certainly not travel to the Copenhagen climate change summit in December and may instead use his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech to set out US environmental goals, The Times has learnt.

I like how they are 10-20 AUD back home and come on a shelf held together with a plastic ring. Here they are 1-2-3K RMB and are boxed like some rare truffles.. :-s

Hi esperegus,

I agree that at least one Wong Karwai film should have been on the list.

Also agree that The World is not Jia's best film. One point to note though is that Brody's list was on the best films of this decade, so that would have ruled out Pickpocket, as that was made in the 90s. Platform would have scraped in though, as that was released in 2000.

Cheers,

Dan

Surprised to see The World feature so highly on this list. It's good, but doesn't match up to some of the other films mentioned. And Jia Zhangke's earlier films like Platform and Pickpocket are better.

If he wants to include Chinese films, hasn't Mr. Brody seen In The Mood For Love (2000,i think)? Or the vastly underrated 2046?

BS - I just called and they are still closed.
I asked until when: the response "I dont have that information right now."
I asked why: "Our equipment doesnt work. But I don't really know."

Full disclosure: I am associated with a restaurant. Yes power goes down. It takes less than 24 hours to restore power - in ANY circumstance (including complete rewiring and reconnection to a commercial premises). Honestly.

wow, another burger place.. that's what beijing need.. gggooooo chinese investors...!!! copy copy copy even if the market is saturated and shitty..

1. its an expat magazine, so the report goes to the burger joint--there's probably 1 burger joint for every other 500 restaurants opened.
2. its located in liangmaqiao, give the expats there what they want (assuming they want another fast food chain that isn't mcds)
3. its a new large building..in fact... its 'grand'... i'm sure there's other styles of restaurants besides these guys.

now go get that triple triple and become a fatburger.
