Run, don’t walk, to see this commercial
Seriously.  This Bravia Commercial has to be one of the most visually gorgeous ads ever, and I totally love the music by José González as well.
 
I have a couple of stills from the ad in my random desktop image rotation, and they make me happy.
 
Be sure to watch the 7-minute “making of” featurette.  As my friend Bryn pointed out, the live audio when 250,000 superballs come roaring down a San Francisco street is quite a treat.
 
Beware, though.  I installed the screensaver that’s available from the site on my Mac.  Not only is it a lame screensaver that totally misses the spirit of the ad by about 100 miles, but it also somehow screwed up the saver I was previously using (the default-install “Computer Name” saver) so that it no longer works.
