Olympic Opening Ceremony (LIVE THREAD)

reply to post by Tindalos2013


Just as a bit of trivia - 007 was first used in coded messages by John Dee to Queen Elizabeth 1st

This is an ADHD dream come true...gratuitous montage of music and visuals, fast paced and random...like flipping through tv channels really fast!

why no sex pistols??

Hoping Austin Powers makes an appearance saying as we are in 70's mode

rocket guys with jet packs.....popping glitter bombs...and thats absolutely all the meaning I got from that? What am I missing? This has to make more sense for the British here, doesn't it?


Jack in the box guy after a bender??

Sex Pistols coming up. Dave Bowie now.

'He's a Baaaaarman, working in Dubai'

well crap never mind.

So nothing but UK culture as the start of an event of the world coming together?

The whole point of an Olympic Opening ceremony is to highlight the host nations culture.

Whats with the side story with the phone?

Girl drops her phone. Guy finds it. Calls her and tells he she dropped her phone (??) and she says they are going to the 70's. Then a photo e-mail from her?

I guess they won't be playing some Gary Glitter.

Billy Idol soon i bet.

I'm sorry.. I mean are there TV shows or other England based references others are totally missing here? Sorry.. I'm lost and this is getting more dizzying and confusing than entertaining.

Maybe this gets better... I dunno.. but it's.. yeah.. interesting. Umm...
