So, Olympics are going on. Anyone else watch the Olympic opening ceremony? It's pretty much mandatory. I usually watch it, but I was particularly interested in this year's ceremony because it was directed by one of my favorite movie directors, Danny Boyle (Sunshine anyone? That shit was sci-fi gold!). The very beginning (the industrial revolution segment) was my favorite part, lots of great things visually, and the music was fantastic. I also really enjoyed the part with Rowan Atkinson, I love him, he's damn funny.
Anyways, I'm hoping I'm not the only one who saw it..

Unfortunately...I didn't watch it. ;_; Physics took priority over the opening ceremony.
I might search it up on Youtube or something later, though! |'D [/sup]

You should definitely watch it! I highly recommend those two parts I mentioned in my original post. The rest of it was just okay. Still, altogether it was quite a spectacle.
Oh, somehow I forgot to mention the Queen parachuting into the stadium with James Bond. You can't not watch it now! ;D

I totally saw when Michael Phelps Lost! I died a little inside! I died a lot inside! I'm not saying the 2 are connected, but I happen to be dead on the inside at the same time I watch Phelps Lose!

I was a little disappointed to see him lose, and even more disappointed when Lochte couldn't hold the lead in the relay, that was their gold! It's alright though, it's not like Phelps is hurting in the gold medal department, what's he got like 18 now?

And Lochte cannot give an interview to save his life! lol

Ehh, it had hockey in the name. I was like 'close enough'. Did anyone happen to catch the closing ceremony stuff?

I didn't really care for the closing ceremony either, not nearly as good as the opening ceremony. But I wanted to ask if you got to see Muse perform? I'm pretty sure they cut it out of the US broadcast.

The opening ceremony was pretty sweet, but closing was abysmal at best!
Not that I am a harsh critic or anything!
