Any one going to watch the Opening ceremony?

[dway-nos]

Its on at midnight in nz and our team wont walk out till 4am and i dont find it all that exciting to be honest so i wont be.
what about you guys?

It all depends on whether the smog is so thick that we can't see it at all.

Even though it's at 7:30pm in Perth it will be terribly boring me thinks, I'll see what else is on.

 

[akamichaelhart]

Manly play the Storm tonight grand final rematch and the Dragons and Sharks I think I'll have to pass on the ceremony as well.

 

[fcukernaut]

Maybe. Are the USA still planning on walking out with masks? If they are I'm definitely watching because I have a suspicion that if they do it'll be like Cartman's party on South Park when he get's Ant's in Your Pants for his birthday and he flips the party off switch; the screen will just go black. And I also have a suspicion that if individuals walk out with masks on, they'll just randomly disappear during the ceremony.

I normally can't be bothered with stuff like this but it is most impressive, I have to say.

GF watching it right now....f***ing boring I tell you. Plus China has made it some kind of: China Historic Show. The Olympics are not ABOUT China, they are just IN China. :wall:

Awesome is a bit of an understatement, really is top drawer. Bet the organisers of 2012 are watching on thinking OH ********!!!

It's China down to a tea though. All smiles on the outside, shear turmoil on the inside.

At least London will offer a good human rights record. <_<

I feel ya dog, makes me sick to the stomach considering how many people were made homeless just so the communist ***** can produce an image of China that is 100% fake. :vomit:

I love the olympics but having them in China just kills the spirit. :angry:

Damn... that Ukrainean team sure had some lookers B)

well that's if they keep the games, they'll certainly be hoping to avoid a repeat of the fiasco in 2005.

 

[Bullitt]

Smooth way of putting it Tarbh, nicely done. <_<

 

[cyRil]

I was watching the opening and it was flippin incredible. I was just thinking how the hell are we going to top that in 2012?!

 

[Jer1cho]

Wait till you see what South Africa do for the FIFA world cup in 2010!

:ninj:

That was like nothing of this world. Simply an amazing opening ceremony. How can it be topped? Good luck London...

Sorry but I thought it was crap. First of all, the opening ceremony is NOT supposed to be a promotional show about China.

i know stupid idiots, canada, toronto should of won the bid. Chinas pollution is well above the "saftey guideline" for the athletics and they still won bid .

I did like the drumming and the fireworks though.

I thought the human keyboard was pretty impressive and it was a novel way to light the flame as well.
