...intergalactic rock slide that starts things off to the climactic destruction of the Golden Gate bridge. That's a tribute to a similar scene in Ray Harryhausen's 1955 It Came from Beneath the Sea - and possibly a sly death-wish joke aimed at the Pixar artists who drive across the bridge to work every...

(8,200 sq m), purpose-built site in Berkshire, a one-hour drive west of London. Xtrac sells its lightweight, high-strength components to the majority of teams competing in Formula One, motor racing's blue-ribbon championship. But the road ahead suddenly seems a lot bumpier. With Formula One teams racing to cut costs amid the economic downturn, Xtrac is selling fewer...
