    The opening ceremony has been simply A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

    I totally enjoyed it!
  14. don't care, even though I caught a glimpse of it just now
    how funny, years ago they were all waving and being proud they were there, now almost all carried a camero or mobile phone and they filmed the audience while waving, pff how technology caught us in their mighty web tongue

    I watched a bit of the opening ceremonies while feeding my son breakfast this morning... and he LOVED the fireworks. "Weeeee-wooooks"

    Pretty impressive stuff. Can't say I'm looking forward to the games. Never been a fan of the summer games. Far too many events. But I am looking forward to Woman's Brazilian Beach Volleyball.

    I try really hard to be non-contained by extremely hot images that come to mind with that sentence but i am afraid i've been unable to resist to the temptations that arise from that.

    It was pretty damn awesome. I fail to see how Britain will be able to top it!? Trust me, there will still be builders and plumbers turning up late during the opening ceremonies yelling "show us yer tits, luv!".
    Mark my words.

    100% AGREE WITH YOU!

    London will be shitting themselves thinking of a way to top this opening ceremony which was easily the BEST I've EVER seen!

    2008 ( TWO. THOUSAND. and. EIGHT! ) drummers playing drums that lit up right at the begining was awesome.

    I thought a lot of the music was very good too, anyone know who wrote it?

    China's reputation might be a 'bit' dodgy, but damn can they put on a show.

    2004, Greece had hundreds of bouzouki and drum players opening up via a marvelous piece written by Stavros Xarhakos. Ring any similarity bells? wink

    Nooooo. Not Jeff Rona!!!!

    18 different composers composed 110 minutes of music, and most of them were Chinese artists obviously. I've no idea if Rona's piece was performed today, not sure.
