Today I recommend this 25min video with an Interview to Rich Hurrey (2006), from Pixar, a nice training video for 3d modeling beginners.
This interview was conducted for Siggraph 2006. Brad and Rich discuss his career path up to Pixar as well as some in depth discussion of hard surface modeling with subdivision surfaces.

I'm sure that you have downloaded a porn movie sometime, thinking that its a normal theater movie, probably through eMule or similars.
Well, this is called a fake, and people think that they are created with the purpose to confuse the users, to make a joke or with bad intentions.
