One Bag (all about packing, luggage, and travelling light) Star Trek Into Darkness: New Clip Star Trek Into Darkness has dropped yet another uninterrupted sneak preview clip showcasing samples of the film's intense action scenes. While yesterday, we saw a volcano-stuck-Spock ready to martyr himself (again) for "the needs of the many," today's clip comes courtesy of MSN, showing Kirk, Spock, Uhura, and a few unidentified passengers (which is never a good thing to be in Star Trek) strolling along in a defenseless shuttlecraft being pursued by an unknown assailant ship whose enmity towards our heroes is so deep that they're willing to risk a Death Star trench-run-like chase that could easily go awry. (Looks like Kirk may have gotten too friendly with yet another married sexy alien space thing.) The clip actually culminates in a tight squeeze of a scene that you probably already caught in the film's numerous trailers and TV spots.

More talk of Ghostbusters 3 It’s been a while since any news of Ghostbusters 3 has surfaced, and we figured it finally just died and we’d never hear anything further about it again. But of course you can’t discount the tenacity of Dan Aykroyd, who is very determined to bring Ghostbusters back, even after over a decade of effort. So after a little bit of silence, Aykroyd talked again about what has to be one of the longest in development comedy sequels in history. As Giant Freakin Robot reports, Aykroyd told ABC he feels "re-encouraged" about tackling Ghostbusters 3 again. There’s a new writer working on the script, and he’s "reinvigorated by the pages that I have seen." While we should especially take this with a grain of salt, Aykroyd also said, "It should be into production by the fall and be shooting by the new year." Still, Aykroyd remains the biggest cheerleader for Ghostbusters 3 one day seeing the light of day, and he promised, "We’re going to really put it into ninth gear in this third one.

Happy New Year Happy New Year / 30 December, 2009 [click for previous image: let it snow #3] Happy New Year / 30 December, 2009 [click for next image: ringing in the new year] Title • Happy New Year I've spent the last couple of days wondering what to post to close out the year and then came across this entry on momentaryawe.com (run by my good friend Catalin Marin): his twelve favourite shots from 2009, one from each month. So, with credit to Catalin for the idea, here are my twelve favourites for the preceding year. Had I selected images from the year as a whole I suspect that there would be a couple of changes, and I also suspect that some of you would make different choices from each month, but when I looked back through the images I'd posted this year these are the ones that gave me most pleasure to produce. As always, let me know what you think. On a different matter: don't forget that there are just a few days left in which to snap up a 15% discount on our Photoshop tutorials.
