Opening Ceremonies

[GoofyWaterCoaster]

now these perfectly in tune oarsman? NO WIRES?

 

[WDWLVR]

An absolutely amazing show. I was shocked when the boxes opened and found out it was all controlled by individuals.

 

[Rhonda922]

I'm trying to clean and I'm running back and forth to the t.v. Oh my goodness, I almost have tears in my eyes because everything is so beautiful. As far as I'm concerned, the Olympics should always be in China! DH just ran out and he's missing it. I hope he hurries home.

 

[GoofyWaterCoaster]

Wow, I'm going to stop saying what is amazing, because everything is

WOW!

 

[GoofyWaterCoaster]

Wouldn't you be so nervous if you were one of those performers?

 

[LoraJ]

Just Stunning!! Epic!

I should be working but I can't take my eyes off the screen lol.

 

[Shutterbug]

I'd pay real money if Bob Costas and the rest would just shut up and let me watch and listen to the music!

 

[GoofyWaterCoaster]

Me too

I kinda like him explaining everything though

Wow, there are 2008 of every kind of performer!

 

[PrincessKsMom]

This is THE most stunning, spectacular thing I have EVER seen. I think the Chinese really will leave a lasting impression on the world.

 

[GoofyWaterCoaster]

I hate how we miss some things because of commercials... It's taped! Why can't they show the whole thing?

 

[Kahana-ri]

So cool! So much tradition and history portrayed. I'm in awe

 

[Mean Queen]

This running around the world part is very stunning. At first I thought the 2008 Tai Chi masters running without hurting each other was the best, then came the acrobats on the Earth.

I'm guessing we really aren't missing anything. They've just edited it tighter together.


My jaw just keeps popping open!! This show is amazing!!!!

 

[SeaSpray]

To quote a line from 'Mulan': "MOST IMPRESSIVE!"

 

[GoofyWaterCoaster]

So am I Kahana

Diznygirl, I agree, I bet we are missing setup and that's it

 

[Shutterbug]

Really wish I had a huge widescreen HD tv for this!

 

[GoofyWaterCoaster]

Really wish I had a huge widescreen HD tv for this!

I do, the audio is about 1/2 a second off of the video

I am actually watching it in standard cable because of this

 

[PrincessKsMom]

Why am I hearing bagpipes but not seeing Ireland or Scotland?

 

[Mean Queen]

I found it very interesting that the countries are not in alphabetical order, but in order of the amount of characters that make up the name when written in Chinese.

 

[noodleknitter]

LOL, that was what I was wondering, too!
