Wow - gorgeous! I'm sorry I didn't watch this. I'm trying to not get all self-righteous and political about the Olympics in China but not being very successful.

I know what you mean, but really? An artistic achievement on that scale is worthy of admiration.

You can see it here under Opening Ceremony Sights and Sounds.

Um, yeah. I imagine the London planners are in a funk. "Oh fuuuuuuuuuck." :-D

I only saw the highlights shown on the news programs here, but what I saw made me wish I had seen the whole thing! It was just beautiful! That moving type! The drums! The fireworks and those footprints! The dancer on the moving platform/ribbon!

I wish I had taped it so I could watch the whole thing.
