So far this ceremony has been great, especially how the made the Olympic rings the way they did. Is anyone else watching this would be good to hear others opinions.

imho I thought it was slow, dreary and disjointed. At least it got better but as a visual feast it was more like a last minute bbq in someone's garden. Too insular (danny Boyle's vision of Britain u guys wouldnt have understood the references eg NHS, Isambard Kingdom Brunel), too disconnected from the olympic movement (WWI, Great Ormond St kids), too gloomy (peeps who didnt live to see the games tribute, sick kids, 7-7 tribute with Abide with Me - a hymn song for funerals!) and def too cliched (007, Mr Bean, Beckham on a speedboat).The pluses were the rings being forged, the musical drama - Dizzy Rascal was fkn A and some nice tunes from Specials, Jam, Stones, Who, etc. Boyle's references to 28 days later, Harry Potter, Child cather were neat but again it was theatre not necessary for the Olympics. The drama was a bit mek - didnt understand how the guy rang the girl to tell her that he had found her phone - bizarre but still! Did anyone see the old guy doing a nazi style salute (with his left hand extending out) when the german athletes entered the stadium??? ------------- Cos I'm Wonderman...I'll take that knife and shove it up your a$$! |

| didn't watch that BS. they need to cut out the ceremonies IMO. get on with the sporting events. synchronized swimming not included. if there's judges then it's not a sport. |

Like King, I too enjoyed it. I didn't have any high expectations to it though
Do you mean this one ? Yes that was weird :o I don't really think it was meant that way though

u need breasts b4 u can stupid. Recommend Comic breasts, man boobs will take too long to develop, hormone treatment is slower and implants are too painful, permanent, costly, unstable (take your pick on the last one). ------------- Cos I'm Wonderman...I'll take that knife and shove it up your a$$! |

er Brittian have none and I will bet my house that this never changes in 2012, 2016, 2126 or any other Olympic year! Britain don't have much more either! Btw I'll state the obv and say Strider is right and if the tallies are equal and China have more Golds and Silvers than USA then they will finish above them (in first most probs). Prefer to see US over China tho...rooting for Jamaica 1,2,3 in the 100m sprint and desperate for GB to up their game and win more medals! C'mon the lads and lasses!

I was in Germany for the weekend. It was kind of funny how their commentators only ever talk about the German players with massive bias, and then try to justify not having a single medal for days. On the way home today I heard on German radio (after they took their first gold) 'Deutschland! Olympia sieger!' which I also found amusing. The dutch production quality is bad. ------------- http://www.youtube.com/tridrokun" rel="nofollow">

Personally I've found it harder to get into the Olympics since there isn't the "evil" superpower to root against like it used to be back in the days vs. the Soviet Union. Sure, it still gives something to root for to be the best overall but I don't feel that same "team unity" that used to sweep the country. -------------   |
