Good taste

 

[Ohwiseone]

The path on the floor in the stars is awesome.

I want more projector floors from now on.

 

[MThanded]

Damn Matt dropping the relationship bomb. Mediatakeout style

 

[Oersted]

Downhill after Sharapova. Even though the running trough the artists is a nice gesture.

 

[Cru]

Which one tweeted the racist Obama picture? lol

 

[MetatronM]

Putin getting his mistress in on this is still really fucking funny to me. Master class trolling.

 

[Madness]

Fun fact for you Americans, the guy who is there, Tretiak, one of the best goalies of all time in hockey, and he was in net when the US beat them in the 'miracle' game.

Edit: the one who tweeted the photo, is the older short woman who will light it with Tretiak.

The short lady on screen now.

 

[everyday math]

Run run run

 

[Shadow780]

Why is it so far lol

 

[vagabondarts]

I'm getting all warm and fuzzy with the flame about to be lit
Might be the firebird suite playing too

 

[dark_chris]

Music is wonderful with the torch carry

 

[Lamel]

I like the music.

 

[Mesousa]

Why is it so far lol

Putin wants them to light the torch, but he wants them to work for it lol.

 

[Gorillaz]

dat delayed lighting of torch

 

[Ohwiseone]

And fucking Firebird with the torch-lighting (my favorite piece ever)

Fan fucking-tactic Russia.

 

[Arkos]

That torch looks like a big dong shooting fire out its tip

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Nice Cauldron. I dig it.

 

[everyday math]

Longest fireworks ever.

 

[Lamel]

Nice torch lighting.

 

[Oersted]

Now just music and fireworks. If they don't cut it again, lol.

 

[Ohwiseone]

Everything is better with Firebird Suite

Pressure is on Korea for next Winter Olympics opening.

Kind of hard to top Sochi opening.

 

[vagabondarts]

Pressure is on Korea for next Winter Olympics opening.

Pretty much

 

[yuraya]

Great ceremony 10/10. The imperial Russia and Soviet/Industrial parts stole the show. Especially the music.

 

[LiK]

Pressure is on Korea for next Winter Olympics opening.

Starcraft players will carry the final torch

KPop Gaf will be fun.

Lol wow. Bravo. My fav parts of Russian history too, glad to see them represented so beautifully.

 

[Gorillaz]

Starcraft players will carry the final torch

The battle of esports vs sports will reach a new height

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Where is this online? NC ain't carrying it.

 

[Shadow780]

SDSN will carry the final torch

FTFY

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Pressure is on Korea for next Winter Olympics opening.

Kind of hard to top Sochi opening.

They should have the torch from Sochi murder the Korean torch and the opening ceremonies be a 2 hour Korean crime-thriller to locate the Sochi torch to light a new flame.

Automatic best opening.

 

[rubius01]

Its simon pegg!

I like this idea.

It also needs to be done in a stedi-cam long-take.

 

[Codeblue]

Alexey got robbed. Tetris is like the best part of Russian history.

Even Trololo got a nod.

 

[KingItachi]

Yes because you can actually change the law/s

 

[FamousLastX]

You don't like Russia. We get it. Pretty sure most people here don't, but we can still enjoy the games.

 

[Madness]

Lol wow. Bravo. My fav parts of Russian history too, glad to see them represented so beautifully.

Dude we get it, quit shitting up the thread. They're not going to disparage their own history. Beijing didn't show tanks running over pro-democracy protesters, Vancouver didn't show residential schools and beating of Native children etc. What do you expect? That they'll show the millions in gulags during the Soviet era?

 

[Arkos]

Yes because you can actually change the law/s

Ha you're right, I can't change the laws so I'll just give up. My bad

You don't like Russia. We get it. Pretty sure most people here don't, but we can still enjoy the games.

"Enjoying" the games while they are happening in such a place seems a little strange to me. That is my point, I guess.

Edit: Don't worry, I'll stop, you guys all have a nice experience watching these people compete in a state where gay people are pursued by mobs, which are not prosecuted, political corruption runs rampant and Vladimir Putin is running for a 100th term. My bad

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Did the choir actually sing "Get Lucky"?

These Olympics are so fucking oddly sexual and yet oblivious to the given reasons why they are locking up gays.

 

[eBay Huckster]

Ha you're right, I can't change the laws so I'll just give up. My bad

yes, threadshitting on a forum which exactly zero Russian politicans know and/or care about the existence of is hard-hitting activism you should never give up on

 

[Shadow780]

Sharapova is only 26?! @_@

Oh my youth.

 

[Hours Left]

Did the choir actually sing "Get Lucky"?

These Olympics are so fucking oddly sexual and yet oblivious to the given reasons why they are locking up gays.

Wearing rainbow jumpsuits and marching to t.A.T.u.

Talking about "diversity".

Edit: Only the things you "should" be talking about? What the hell Matt?!

 

[Wellscha]

The stadium cleared quick.

 

[Arkos]

yes, threadshitting on a forum which exactly zero Russian politicans know and/or care about the existence of is hard-hitting activism you should never give up on

You realize that a portion of the money you spend on your television or internet to watch the Olympics is going to Russia? Also, you realize that activism includes raising awareness?

 

[Codeblue]

If you're unable to separate sport from politics then you wouldn't be able to enjoy the Olympics no matter where it's held then.
