pretty impressive spectacle. I like how they had the Olympic rings build and come together.
Guess I kind of have an image of the English culture as depressingly classist and the part about the industrial era etc. was particularly disturbing yet very good at the same time. :dunno: One hell of a scene with all those factory chimneys in the stadium.
 
reno cool

Yeah that was the highlight for sure. It was an inspired artistic vision. (Everything was downhill from there I'm afraid.)
 
The bit (of the opening ceremonies) where they had the queen brush past James Bond to jump out the helicopter and parachute down to the stadium . . . I dunno.

I mean, obviously it wasn't really the queen but the concept of the bit . . . I dunno.

It really felt like it was below the dignity of the position. It was like suddenly the queen was joining in Betty White's endless stream of hey, wouldn't it be funny to have an old person do something not typically associated with old people? bits.

Like why not have the queen seem like she was really horny for James Bond while we're at it?

Sure there is something to be said for splattering a pie on the face of something that is supposed to be dignified, but that bit . . . I wonder if the queen went along with it. I guess she must have. She obviously was actively participating in the first part.

I dunno.
 
Mr. Bean gave me a few chuckles actually. I don't have any particularly strong feelings about the sacredness of the Chariots of Fire soundtrack. Fuck with it all you want IMO.

I don't want to see hours of Mr. Bean but a couple minutes I can handle.



Still thinking about Muhammed Ali though. Like doesn't Great Britain have some fucked up guy of their own that they can trot out and prop up? I guess not.

Seemed so random. Hey everyone, here is a dude who participated in one Olympics - for the USA - 52 years ago and is now mostly incapacitated. Isn't that great?

Like why not just suddenly have some big fucking pliers?
