mattygs Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I want this soundtrack of the ceremonies, I hope they release it. The music is awesome. I thought it had the danger of being full of rara communistic sounding stuff, but its ace.
Rich Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Got 40 million dollars? Beijing will have a second hand one they can lend to london lol. Liking the projections along the rim of the building
NYCD 2012 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I wondering if they going to have giant mascots like there was for Misha in 1980.
Citius Altius Fortius Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 How crap our 8 minutes of the Closing Ceremony is going to look. well - nothing can beat a red double decker bus
code1390 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I think Beijing used more people in the ceremony than live in England.
Stu Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 well - nothing can beat a red double decker bus ....or David Beckham in his underwear!
PYRROS2004 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I'm sleeping. Very boring, except two or three good parts. I look forward for the parade! Not a single breathing taking picture....
Citius Altius Fortius Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) how do they do taht the runners can run aorund the earth like this? The planets are visible at the rim of the roof Edited August 8, 2008 by Citius Altius Fortius
Stu Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Sarah Brightman was at the Barcelona Olympics too wasn't she?
Rich Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 go on sarah belt it out. good to see a brit performing in the opening ceremony. great idea the latern / globe
Jon Chambers Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I'm sleeping. Very boring, except two or three good parts.I look forward for the parade! Not a single breathing taking picture.... Annoyed they beat greece? It's fantastic apart from the BBC commentary, which slogan should be 'WE KNOW.' We know these games are controversial, but you dont have to keep saying... its so annoying.
mattygs Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 The beeb also ruined the Manchester closing ceremony by BD constantly reminding everyone that it was raining. INteresting take on a theme song, more of a lullaby than an anthem - but good all the same. Be interested to hear a studio version of it. Sarah looked stunning as normal. The smiley face pyro effects were cool too. Awesome artistic segment. Going on a different tangent to athens, i liked them the same, just in a different way. Liked the little moments aswell as the big ones. Simple things like the smiley face the kids drew on the scroll painting, the girl next to LangLang etc etc
Sir Rols Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Phew, we're back. The server just through me out then.

We know these games are controversial, but you dont have to keep saying... its so annoying. I know i wish the beeb would lighten up for at least a few hours prattling on about smog, tibet, communisim, etc etc. oooh here come greece. who'll win the fashion stakes lol
Citius Altius Fortius Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 The athletes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Greece!

nykfan845 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I'm sleeping. Very boring, except two or three good parts.I look forward for the parade! Not a single breathing taking picture.... The ceremony so far is far and away better than Athens. Stop being bitter.
PYRROS2004 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Face it...they didn't beat Athens, because Athens was different. Papaioannou mad an artistic performance that was continuous. China made a segment about enviroment, about the paper etc, that they are not connected. Technological, yes it was better, but we have already done it in 1997 in IAAF World Championships. Sorry, but the ceremony was boring, no spirit at all.
mpkwokgsb Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 can i hear bag pipes????? They said the orchaestras from the 5 continents are playing.
Sir Rols Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Glad the parade's started. Can zone out a bit now and comment. Awesomely spectacular so far. A great mix of technical an manpower excellence and beautiful to boot. The best ceremony by far so far. It's hard tp se hopw it will be topped (though I'm sure eventually they will be).
Citius Altius Fortius Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 @ the one, who was the Malaysian flag bearer? Great outfit!!!
