I think the top of the Eiffel Tower was one of my favourite places; I went up without very many people in our lift and found it such a peaceful place to be.
Thanks! It's so comfy I love it! Thank you, I've just looked at your blog and am now following you too! X
Star Trek Beyond is now in theaters! Beyond is the third installment of the reboot Star Trek franchise. After successfully defeating Khan in Into Darkness, the Enterprise crew sets off to explore the final frontier and encounters a new villain in the process. Read on and find out who plays the new big baddie as well as 11 other things you didn’t know about Star Trek Beyond! Make sure to keep reading to see how you can get a Limited-edition Star Trek Beyond eGift Card from MovieTickets.com.
Eric Bana played the villain Nero in 2009’s Star Trek and Dr. Bruce Banner in 2003’s Hulk . Benedict Cumberbatch played John Harrison/Khan Noonien Singh in Into Darkness and will play Dr. Stephen Strange in the upcoming Doctor Strange. Finally, Idris Elba will play Krall in Star Trek Beyond and also played Heimdall in Thor in 2011.
According to Idris Elba, Pine’s black eye isn’t makeup. Elba and Pine got a little too rough during filming and Pine received a real injury.
3. Anton Yelchin (Pavel Chekov) unfortunately passed away in a car accident before the film’s release.
Producer J.J. Abrams had stated that they won’t recast Anton Yelchin’s Chekov role, but aren’t sure how to handle his death yet.
5. Simon Pegg and Justin Lin made the decision of making Sulu gay as a nod to original actor of Sulu, George Takei.
However, Takei disagrees with this decision because it was not the intention of Gene Roddenberry (the creator of Star Trek).
6. Simon Pegg confirmed the space station is named “Starbase Yorktown” which is a wink to the original 1966 series.
Principal photography began on June 25th, 2015 and was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia. All sets from previous films had to be rebuilt from scratch.
According to Quinto, he greatly enjoys playing Spock on screen but had stated that he is ready to venture into other projects. Quinto and the other main co-stars are signed on for a three picture deal which makes Star Trek Beyond his last contractual commitment as Spock.
The director of the first two Star Trek films could not direct the third because of his commitment to Star Wars. He did, however, stay on as a producer for Star Trek Beyond.
According to Urban in an interview, he did not intend to return to his role as Bones but a discussion with director Justin Lin convinced him to stay.
Elba plays a reptilian alien who will be an original villain and not another known antagonist from past Star Trek adventures.
“Yorktown” was the original name of the starship in Gene Roddenberry’s early scripts before it was changed to “Enterprise.”
“Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her ongoing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life-forms and new civilizations; to boldly go where no one has gone before.”

As the third generation of the Bornholm potter family Hjorth, it was only natural for Gertrud Vasegaard (1913-2007) to become a student at Kunsthåndværkerskolen (the Danish Design School) in Copenhagen in 1930 – with, among others, Ejler Bille, Sonja Ferlov Mancoba, Richard Mortensen and Christian Poulsen.
After a brief period as a trainee with Aksel Salto and Bode Willumsen, among others, she established in 1933 a workshop with her sister Lisbeth Munch-Petersen in Bornholm. The two young ceramicists worked with pottery articles for everyday use in accordance with the family tradition, but also started working with ceramics as an independent discipline.
In 1945 Gertrud Vasegaard became employed at Bing & Grøndals Porcelænsfabrik, where she at first worked with stoneware. It was here, and when she in 1959 established a workshop with her daughter, Myre, that she became one of the pioneers of Danish workshop ceramics – one of the ceramicists without whom the variety, richness and quality that characterise Danish ceramics today, would be inconceivable.
Gertrud Vasegaard’s ceramic works are a unity of form, materials and decoration. Although the form is simple and monumental, it is a rich and sophisticated simplicity, created through long and patient work. Often she gives the thrown bowl a final, little squeeze that makes it vivid. Clay, glaze and colour are attuned to one another, and the ornaments of the decoration follow and emphasise the form. Gertrud Vasegaard is inspired by nature and to some degree by ceramics of former times and the idiom of foreign cultures.
A pot is not to be understood – it is. In the case of Gertrud Vasegaard it can be said to be abstract and meditative. It is a common sign that relates to it self, thereby emanating an air of tranquillity and clarity. She became a member of Martsudstillingen in 1969.
Gertrud Vasegaard has participated in exhibitions in museums and galleries all over the world. She is represented in all major collections of ceramics in Europe and the USA.
