did they announce the exact time tonight for Phelps's 400m final? or is it just "primetime"

Just "primetime". It'll be hard to miss I would think, as there will probably be a lot of build up leading to it.

Hot damn, those Polish ladies are smokin'. :p~~~

The Opening Ceremonies for the Beijing Olympics was amazing.

The pageantry, the music, the choreography was so perfect.

If something needs a Blu-Ray release, it is this.

Before the Opening Ceremonies began, the commentators were talking about the exorbitant price ($300 million!) and how China gave their most prestigious director the right to do what he wanted. I was like "Bah! He's not the most prestigious. The guy who did Hero is." Then I looked it up and saw the director of Hero was doing the opening ceremonies. I was shocked. It's my favorite movie ever, and the show he put on last night was incredible. I had no idea he was so highly regarded.

Why wouldn't he be, Hero was well made and it was basically one big propaganda piece for China.

I don't pride myself on Chinese knowledge. I love the movie, but I didn't realize the world did.

Now maybe I can get a Blu Ray release.

It's like they learned nothing. What a pathetic team, they should be kicked out of America. Just deny them entrance when they try to come back from Beijing.

Just how big are the Olympics in the USA? I mean, is everybody going bananas and watching 24/7 on TV?

Because here (Brazil) its marketed the crap out of it, people really love it. And we only have a good program in a couple of sports.

I know football, golf, and baseball (kind of) are not on the summer games, but just how big is the event for you guys?

People talk about on the streets, things like that, or just another event on TV?

It's kinda big, but not that big. We expect all of our athletes to sweep every event without knowing too much about whats going on. With that being said, the Olympics need football. Then you'd see epic American turnout.
