That would probably dent those tentacles and maybe cause the whole thing to misalign?? Would take more than a sneaker... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Howe Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 It's really great to see everyone's creativity and their willingness to share their ideas no matter how relevant. Keep up the good work! Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work! Thanks! It's really great to see you and Buddy take the time out to engage with us Olympic and cauldron nuts! On behalf of all of us, thanks and appreciation. I think you've won some more fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. It was mesmerizing. I guess for the Paralympics, it will be missing a tentacle or 2?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) So, was Ms. de Castro meant to get drenched in the moment? So, she was singing a slow "Singing in the Rain" number in Portuguese? Glad she wasn't electrocuted with a "live" myke. (BTW, if there is a Portugal, how come there is no Portuguy? And if there are Portuguese, is there a Portugoose? ) Edited August 26, 2016 by baron-pierreIV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Howe Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 There's a fantastic documentary on the production of the Ceremonies on the Olympic Channel: https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/playback/viva/ Unfortunately this content is not viewable in the USA and gives an error when the ubiquitous arrow is clicked. Does everyone else have this problem in the USA? Has NBC decided this content is not appropriate for US viewers? If so it's such an incredible shame since so many people, thousands really, gave freely of their energies and they deserve to be acknowledged. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The piece would be appreciated by more people if English/French subtitles were added. Right now, it just has more context for Bra-Portuguese speakers. How odd that the Olympic Channel released it in that state.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How odd that the Olympic Channel released it in that state.. As received in the UK, the "Original version" closed captioning is in English, with "Portuguese" CC as an alternative. My beef is that the streaming is very subject to buffering where I am, unlike YouTube etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy_LeChat Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Oups... clicked to fast! As I don't have 12 minutes to waste... What's that ILLUMINATIng thing? Not another conspiracy thing I hope? Some folks out there need a life. And how a kinetic sculpture gets into this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
