The Prestige (Trailer) - new film from them bods what did Batman Begins. I'm very much looking forward to it. (Not just because it's got David Bowie as Nikola Tesla!)

If you remove the search parameter from your URL it will HREF fine on here, because it has % which this forum doesn't like

Super awesome torch animations using long exposures on cameras. Very cool - wish my camera let me keep the lens open for 15 seconds!

What I really meant was mayang.com. It's got great super-high res textures, some above 2000x2000 I think:
