AFour cinemas in the UKThe Kinema, LincolnshireIt's a wooden building on the outside and a two- screen cinema on the inside, all nesting among pine trees in a tiny village. The Kinema showed its first film in 1922 and the first six rows were deekchairs (折叠帆布躺椅). Today, it's more richly decorated.“People come here because it's a fantastic experience," says manager Philip Jones, "Many rooms in the Kinema are simple and not attractive, but we try to remain everything that makes it special.”The Cube, BristolIt's not really a cinema. It is a not- for- profit cooperative run by volunteers, which has been operating for the last 15 years.They are "unique for what we do, which is to operate seven nights a week and with no funding.

Considering the theme, the price of $19, 900 is actually not that much of a surprise.The Astrograph fountain pen is reportedly the most complex writing tool ever designed in the Caran d'ache workshops. The companies involved in the project said that it was a massive technical challenge that required four years to develop the concept, plus an extra 12 months to come up with a functional final version. It contains no less than 99 innovative components createdspecifically for its design, and every unit requires over 500 manual operations.The unique fountain pen was inspired by MB&F founder Maximilian Busser's childhood dream of exploring space. The body of the Astrograph is shaped to resemble a rocket, and has a hidden arm disguised as the entrance of the spacecraft. The luxury launch pad box of the Astrograph also includes a magnetic(磁性的) astronaut little statue that attaches to the ladder of the“ rocket” to increase the space-age feel of this masterpiece.In honor of the 99 components used to make the Astrograph, only 99 pieces will be released, for the not-so-modest price of $19, 900. Before you are shocked at the price, you should know that it's dirt cheap compared to the most expensive fountain pen in the world - the $1. 3 million Aurora Diamante.28.
