The first full-length trailer for the upcoming horror/comedy “Gingerclown 3D” is nearly two minutes in length, yet it gives up nothing in regards to the picture’s impossibly intriguing cast of creatures. Are they keeping the good stuff for the second trailer? Perhaps. Regardless of the lack of monster-related madness, the clip is still worth investigating, especially if you’ve been following the production as closely as I have. I particularly enjoyed how the trailer’s narrator boldly declares that “Gingerclown” is in the tradition of 80′s-style horror. Way to state the obvious! In case you were wondering, the film stars Erin Hayes, Ashley Lloyd Luke, Michael Cannell-Griffiths and Tim Curry (Rocky Horror Picture Show) voices “Gingerclown,” while Brad Dourif (Child’s Play) voices “Worm Creature,” Lance Henriksen (Aliens) as “Braineater,” Michael Winslow (Police Academy) as “Stomachcrumble,” and Sean Young (Blade Runner) as “Nelly the Spiderwoman.” With a cast like that,...

Some of the cost benefits of living in a city are obvious--walkability, easy access to public transportation--but the high price of housing and other amenities often overshadow any benefits. But Good points us to a tool from creative think tank Cnt showing that it's actually more expensive to live in many suburbs and exurbs once transportation costs are taken into account.
Cnt's tool analyzes 337 metro areas covering 161,000 neighborhoods and 80% of the U.S. population. The overwhelming result: It's cheaper or just as cheap to live in cities when transportation is factored in. Transportation costs can range from 15% of household income in location efficient neighborhoods to over 28% in inefficient locations. So for example, while housing costs will suck up at least 30% of your income in San Francisco, transportation will cost less than 15%. In comparison, housing in nearby Richmond costs under 30% of residents' income, but transportation uses up to 28% of all income.

While Americans checked out for the Labor Day interlude, the European design season got underway with Maison et Objet, one of the home furnishings fairs that set the agenda for the design year ahead.
Maison is generally regarded as an early indicator of fresh design ideas--colors, textures, forms--for textiles, furniture and tabletop design. If anything, it took on an element of intrigue this year as editors and cool hunters watched to see how the design field would respond to the uncertainty and anxiety of the past year. Here are six examples of design directions glimpsed in Paris.
Design reduced to its essence. Arik Levy, the Paris-based industrial designer, introduced a collection for Eno in which vases and other tabletop items appear in the most basic sculptural forms. "No ornaments," Levy said. "No decoration, no fat, no special effects, no crazy materials. Just the essentials."
Structure is emphasized. The Muuto table...
