London Olympics 2012
 
A thread for all things Olympic related!

Anyone watching the Opening Ceremonies? Danny Boyle, the director of Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting (etc) is the Creative Director.

What do you think?

I think it is pretty cool so far!

OH! Now I get it! I thought the ring they were making was from Lord of the Rings, not the Olympic rings...heh. Well, not a big leap, I thought I saw Frodo and the Shire earlier...

I was bored till, the rings of fire
 
The rings in the air won me over:\

I am watching & enjoying it. I love that you could see tears in the eyes of the volunteers as the rings joined.

:sparklyheart:

A WAL MART steak commercial!?? WTF is going on!!

Sparkle 07-27-2012 06:33 PM

It's made me a bit weepy.

I miss London. A lot.

I fucking LOVE that they are paying homage to the National Health Service!!

Sparkle 07-27-2012 06:38 PM

Especially since Cameron's government just axed an extraordinary number of jobs from the NHS.

I think the staging is brilliant and I love the cinematic live action style.

The_Lady_Snow 07-27-2012 06:41 PM

Squee!
 
Mary Poppins!!!!!

i've watched it all, already.. (gotta love time zones)..
but watching it again.. Some parts i found boring and some parts i found moving.. i tend to get emotional with these ceremonies..

Got some giggles from Mr Bean..
really excited for the Olympics though, i follow it all as much as i can.
Of course i'm rooting for Canada AND U.S, *smiles*
They are both home teams for me! ..

I'm curious about what is is like to be watching from inside of the stadium, so much of it is shot in tight, like a film. There must be ginormous screens.

The JD 07-27-2012 06:50 PM

Run, Forrest, run!

The_Lady_Snow 07-27-2012 06:51 PM

Mr Bean!
 
LOL!!!

He's hilarious!

UofMfan 07-27-2012 07:00 PM

I'm confused. I watched these at 3:00 p.m. my time.

:confused:
