A few good photos and videos of cities as seen from space, photographed from the ISS. I particularly like the commentary from NASA Astronaut Don Pettit on the second video, which gives you some pointers on how to recognize specific places from orbit. He also took an awful lot of these images, and even starts off by explaining a bit about how they solved the blurring problem created by trying to take time lapse images while hurtling through the sky. This is also the man who invented the zero G coffee cup; thanks to Openculture for the heads up on this one.
They have broken loose with another Skyfall trailer, even better than the last one. I would have thought they would have gotten predictable by now, but after 50 years of James Bond movies they just keep getting more creative. And personally I think this new Bond is my favorite since Sean Connery, I almost get the feeling they are the only two out of the crowd who actually read the Ian Flemming books and understand the character.
Yes, this trailer has been around for a while; too bad. I like it, so here it is again.
It is finally time to see whether the new version of Total Recall does either the Philip K. Dick book or the original version of the film justice. The trailers have looked very promising indeed.
In western animation we have Young Justice: Dangerous Secrets, who’s 14 episode are the completion of season one of the TV series.
On October 26th, one of the potentially best movies of the year will hit the big screen: Cloud Atlas. The 2004 book by David Mitchell was amazing, the cast and directors are amazing (many of the actors playing multiple rolls), this trailer makes it look like the finished product could just possibly live up to the promise that the component elements bring to the table. I can not wait to find out if they manage to pull it off; I will see you in the popcorn line as we go to find out.
