Really impressed with London. Not impressed with NBC.

Can't wait to see how the US reacts to the NHS segment.

"Why would a nation be celebrating a Socalist Health Service?"


I'll tell you why. Because it ****ing rocks.

 

[richiek]

James Bond escorting the Queen... what the fuck am I watching?

 

[Jaded Alyx]

OLYMPIC CAULDRON > RINGS

 

[Tamanon]

Her Majesty's Secret Service indeed.

 

[woolley]

I want to know if they are going to skip the NHS part. I won't know because I have no idea where it was supposed to be.

I really doubt they will do that, it was a pretty big part of the ceremony.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Just wanna say Branagh was looking like a BOSS the whole time.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

slowmo dogs, wtf, lol

 

[Kikujiro]

The ceremony showed what Britain is best at: Art, music, engineering, innovation, humour, multiculturalism, equality, inspiration, history and of course, being individual. Unlike Beijing, this wasn't a money throwing spectacle - it was a ceremony that no other country could have dreamed up.

Why was Beijing only a throwing money spectacle? Beijing had a lot of China history, if you didn't get it don't say there wasn't soul. You could say the same for this ceremony as a non-Britain.

Can't believe signature from the first series of britains got talent featured!

ROYAL CORGIS

Uh a lot of us want a single payer system.

 

[Violater]

slowmo dogs, wtf, lol

NBC fucking up big time

 

[NekoFever]

Damn CNN Just ruined who lights the cauldron for people in the US.

You're complaining about a news channel reporting the news?

 

[Chittagong]

Haha, how bizarre. This thread has restarted.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

The forging of the rings was glorious.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Maj-Ical?

Explain plz.

 

[L1NETT]

I am already seen it, but love seeing the Americans reactions!

 

[Grifter]

those corgis got the 28 days later zombie effect...

 

[Lonestar]

Lolz at the people stuck in the Ring. Doesn't that thing move incredibly slowly?

 

[Alebrije]

The ceremony needed Pink Floyd or Iron Maiden at the end. McCartney sucked , I am pretty sure he used a recorded song.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

NBC fucking up big time

They didn't fuck up, that was part of the clip.

The random slo-mo was intentional, and bad.

 

[Plasmid]

WHAAAAAAAAT

 

[Jamesways]

This is fantastic!

 

[alfredofroylan]

Dizzee grew up on a poor area 10mins from where the Stadium. Local boy done good is a better message for the Olympics than rich old dudes past their prime.

And we don't know anything about him. It'd be a good idea to leave the international commentaros explain things like this, but for this part they were in silence.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

Okay it's a helicopter.

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

Maj-Ical?

Explain plz.

Her royal majesty the queen.

 

[Ohwiseone]

Yup, that gif is awesome.

 

[OriginalThinking]

Well Romney, after that spectacle you can fuck right off back to America. Delicious. Especially the NHS and Bond stuff. Imagine us celebrating the welfare state. It's like we planned to rub his nose in it.

 

[Boss Man]

Not really. I can't comment on the history bit, but Beijing was very robotic and this is the opposite of that. The contrast is so large that I almost feel like it was done intentionally to spite them.

 

[GolazoDan]

OPENING CEREMONY WAS FUCKING AWESOME. Loved it all, apart from McCartney who was quite shit but everyone was asleep by then but never mind. Some genuinely brilliant visuals (the end!), good comedy where we took the piss out of ourselves, and the soundtrack was FANTASTIC. Every song was a universal hit, it seemed. BOOM, London Calling. BOOM, Heroes. BOOM, Firestarter.

It also really annoyed Tories. Summed up best on Twitter: Tories, you had your chance with the Jubilee. You gave us old racists on a wet boat. THIS was a show.

 

[kharma45]

I'm holding off going to sleep just to see the reaction to the next bit...

 

[Fari]

Maj-Ical?
