I thought the BBC's trailer for their Olympics coverage was rather naff:

It's supposed to have loads of Easter Eggs, though:

I admit the music to that trailer made me think of Ghost In the Shell movie (The original opening) not sure if that was intentional and also an Easter egg.

Well, the music for the trailer was written for the BBC by the same guy (Kenji Kawai), so that's no surprise!

I loved the presentation this morning. It was beautiful. Many sides of Japanese culture were represented. The end segment was perfect.
Also, I went completely nuts when Star Light Zone started to play! lol

I loved their take on the lighting of the cauldron in that it looked like a lotus flower.
