Title: Olympics Opening Ceremony. Post by: Taz on July 27, 2012, 10:31:16 PM Was anyone watching this?
It was absolutely fantastic, it incorporated so many points of their history and culture, and wow what a light show. Makes me want to go there now. ;D Title: Re: Olympics Opening Ceremony.

Does anyone know where the online live stream will be? Title: Re: Olympics Opening Ceremony. Post by: Taz on July 28, 2012, 01:30:04 AM It was exhausting to watch, just kept going and changing, but it was really worth it.
Giggling away the whole way through Rowan Atkinson's bit. Title: Re: Olympics Opening Ceremony.

If you haven't seen this already, do yourself a favour and don't read the comments. Same goes for all youtube videos I guess, but I for one always forget. Title: Re: Olympics Opening Ceremony.

But searching "Queens Entrance" should turn up something. Title: Re: Olympics Opening Ceremony.

Quite amazing to see nations meeting like this, all shapes and sizes, to compete in the arena. I'd wish it was a little bit less commercial, and no doping involved, but that's not going to change, is it ? Title: Re: Olympics Opening Ceremony. Post by: Kluge on July 28, 2012, 06:54:17 PM NBC's being cunts about having anything Olympics talked about or posted. In the US, you can't even watch the Olympics live, and NBC uses geoblocking to keep people from "Live" countries talking to people from "Primetime" countries on the Olympic Twitter page, likely among other content sites.

Here, RTE played the live feed and made their own commentary following a transcript they were given. Youtube videos show other countries doing the same. By the sound of this article it seems like NBC wanted their own camera work or nothing. Silly, silly NBC. |
