I am not near a TV at the moment so can not watch the opening ceremonies but I did tape it. Is it worth while to watch later? :) -- nm

Some of it. The boat thing isn't working for me. But the use of iconic buildings and bridges is fantastic. -- nm - King Of Oklahoma Jul 26, 11:44 2
- i like the boat thing, it's basically a parade and anyone can attend -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 11:48
- the wardrobe dept. who dressed all the French actors/performers on the shore did a magnificent job. -- nm* - Peglegpete Jul 26, 11:48
It's been an interesting ceremony so far. I've liked the performances. The boats are different. Not great but not terrible. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 11:37 5
- It's nice that it's in a public area where anyone can see -- nm - Roger More Jul 26, 11:42 2
  - True. I'm sure it's awesome to be there and must be amazing to be an athlete on a boat going down the Seine with all those cheering people. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 11:49
  - Yeah that was a great idea. Typically it's a tough ticket -- nm - Strongbad Jul 26, 11:46
- The boats were a brilliant idea. -- nm - David Jul 26, 11:37 1
  - They are but I'm not loving how we see the athletes. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 11:46
Definitely. There’s nothing else like it. - Loyola Jul 26, 11:35
it feels like a typical opening ceremony, just staged along the length of the Seine and at the Paris landmarks, instead of inside a stadium -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 26, 11:35 4

  - (And Kelly Clarkson). They made her take a break after describing something as "cool" for the 17th time. -- nm - King Of Oklahoma Jul 26, 11:42 2
    - ah so *she* was the one -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 26, 11:45
    - cool cool cool -- nm - Abed Jul 26, 11:42
