Also, there was Mr.Bean AND James Bond. Could've got someone a bit better than Artic Monkeys though.

It was really quite special. Until they freed McCartney.

If Russia doesn't pull an 82' on us.

What a way to start the Olympics, fucking incredible.

The only thing I'm excited about is when someone slips something into Boris Johnson's drink and lets him lose in the middle of the stadium.

The opening ceremony makes me wish I was British. Other than that, I'm very eager to see the US rowing team, and the track & field events. This will be my first Olympics that I'm watching as an athlete, so the Olympics mean much more to me this year, as opposed to in 2008.

Are you serious? That was nowhere near the 2008 opening ceremonies, not in magnitude or execution.

I'm gonna bet you that they will choke in the final.

I really liked the beginning of the openings, but it got increasingly lame as time went on. I barfed at the modern era shit.

I fear that Brazil 2016 will just be an extended carnival celebration.

Also, how can people say, the ceremony got worse as time went on? I'm on the contrary here: It got BETTER with every minute! I mean, Rowan Atkinson?! COME ONE! How can you NOT say, this was amazing?

And the Olympic Flame looks amazing this time (even though I ask myself, if they leave the flame there, right in the middle of the stadium? :o).

So let's see what's on TV... Rowing, swimming, swimming, swimming and rowing.

Ugh. I wish we had 24 extra channels.

I agree, the 2008 opening was more impressive as far as I remember.

Well, it's only a matter of time until Phelps wins the gold and becomes the athlete with the most medals in Olympic history. Sorry for every other nation on the planet, but good ol' America's got you beat on this one.

the industrial revolution, the ring forming thing. the queen parachuting and the rowan atkinson dream sequence was nice but that social networking or whatever it was with the lost cell phone was just terrible,i don't think brazil can beat the 2008 one.

So, the german women swimming relay didn't make it to the finals? I have a feeling that the german swimmers are going to disappoint once again.

Yeah, the other nations don't have the money to buy all the drugs.

the opening ceremony is an unwritten olympic sport therefore it s now tradition to compare every single one, past and present, to beijing, and construct a credible list starting with "almost as good as beijing" and ending with "what the fuck is this let me watch beijing during this so i don't have to see it"

man that ceremony was some hot shit besides that garbage with the texting and paul mccartney being shoved in doing the same shit he has at every semi major event since the dawn of time.

pissed i left the country now.

Mark Cavendish, nailed on gold for Team GB. Fails miserably, what the fuck?
