Lol, definitely. I don't normally watch opening ceremonies, but that one was awesome. I still find it hard to comprehend how they coordinated everyone like that. Well, that's China for you.. give them enough time and they could practice for anything.. or find someone who could do anything, lol.
Too bad they couldn't get rid of the smog. It's quite a shame that they have all those uber-cool effects and buildings, but the air isn't half as good as half of the world's air.

I missed the beginning of the ceremony, sadly. I came in at about halfway through the countries, so all I got to see was the dude running around in the air. Sadly, it wasn't as cool for me because the rabbit ears don't let that channel come in very well. At the end they showed clips of the martial artists, and I wished I had seen it.
Actually, this will sound sad, but I have thought what they could do at the 2012: Have an almost life-size version of the Big Ben tower come out the ground at one end of the stadium, and when it reaches full height, the spire would open to reveal the olympic flame. This could be done using material for the four walls of the tower, and a harder platform support for the spire and flame itself, to which the material walls would be attached.
That actually sounds pretty cool... I wonder what it is about the Olympics that's so fun. Maybe this year is especially so because I find Oriental people cool for some reason.
just cos its the Olympics, I watch loads of sports i don't actually find fun to watch. Think its just cos its your nation playing, or more often a nation you DON'T want to win playing.. i.e USA (but only cos they're usually the favorites, and i like supporting underdogs)
I don't mind watching sports, but I've always found half the stuff in the Olympics rather boring. It's not even the best of the best, more like the 10th best of the best sports and the best of the boring sports where you just run or throw stuff or jump over things.
