2008 Olympics opening ceremonies

just thought it would be interesting to get everyone's take on the opening
ceremonies from last night.. if you missed them, there are multiple versions
available to download at all the usual torrent sites. i was very impressed
with the production. it will be nice to have something interesting to watch
for the next couple weeks.

interesting....are you kidding me pal? the olympics are sooooo boring. gimme the
poker world series any day or a good ufc event. speaking of ufc,lesnar must win
tonight.

it was about 4 hours too long and i have no desire to watch any of the events as
its far from 'interesting' in my eyes!

yeah i heard that too dude.....

tough break.

yes, the ceremony was mindblowing.

pity about the quality of the releases since but i'm still hopeful that
someone will do a proper job of it soon - i.e. cbc hd (canada) or bbc hd (tho
some people, myself included, hated their unnecessarily cynical commentary)
source at 720p/8gb rather than the poverty bitrates we've had so far ...

well i only caught a bit of it and turned it off as it was f*kin me off so
much and spoiling my viewing. the jist was sarcastic/cynical comments that, to
me, seemed to be born out of spite/jealousy at/of the chinese efforts to
present themselves well. i don't doubt that china has a chequered record in
lots of areas but for fooks sake, there isn't a country on the planet (that
ever had any power) that doesn't have blood on its hands ...
