3dzapper Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Why does this scene from the opening cerimonies in Italy remind me of a Woody Allen movie? Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy Dee Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I can't wait for the DVD director's cut. Obviously designed by an airhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Rick, I heard a reporter on NPR even mention the movie and what she thought they looked like. The studio announcer almost choked. [] Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 If I were an athlete, I'd be embarassed by the 'gayness' of the festivities. What was that deal with the dancer last night with the Rooster hairdo and spidey-web outfit? It's hilarious listening to the announcers trying to describe what we're about to see and what it supposedly 'represents'. Bunch of artistic mumbo-jumbo imho! However, very early this morning I tuned in and Peter Gabriel and band were doing John Lennon's 'Imagine' That was uber-cool! Sometimes they really get it right.

colterphoto1 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I don't know how they made the 'pit stop' last like 64 seconds, but the BURN OUT was very cool! Amplified sound of 10,000 RPM's was incredible sounding too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audible Nectar Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 HELP, I'm on FIRE!!! Those guys were fun to watch. As cheesy as some perceive the Olympic ceremonies to be, it is generally good spirited and good ART. And every once in a decade or two, you get a moment like the fire/bow and arrow at Barcelona '92 being shot into the cauldron - simply amazing. It's also neat to watch those athletes (from smaller nations in particular) walk into that stadium with that WOW look on their faces. Unlike many US athletes who will get to experience many chances to be in the limelight, knowing those athletes from those small nations will get this ONCE really gives weight to watching them experience this.

m00n Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I loved the 2004 summer olympic opening ceramony. The human greek statues was just awesome in my opinion. My wife really liked the human ski jump thing last night. What I don't understand though is why all the music durring the parade of nations was all american disco and american pop music.

colterphoto1 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 You guys realize, of course, that my comments were entirely tongue-in-cheek. Right? I wouldn't have made those comments if I hadn't watched and enjoyed nearly the whole darned thing last night. It is spectacular and very artistic, but some of it loses a bit in translation. It is nearly an impossible spectacle and AN is right about watching the athletes' faces as they witness the spectacle. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Lost in translation? Ha. I don't even try to understand it. I just watch it for what it is. Some of it I like, some I don't. I didn't catch all of the ceramony but what I did catch I liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Michael, Yeh, I took your comments to be o.k. I appreciate the pics, since I missed it. I saw a bit on TV last night.... eight women carrying in the olympic flag. Did anyone else notice when it was handed off to the arm swinging honor guard, the one poor guy who had his arm swinging opposite to the other seven. I hate when that happens.

stan krajewski Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Maybe next time they'll ask each and every one of us just how we would like it to look. Relax and enjoy. Chill. Cool it. We will survive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
