This is immense!

Ah but don't forget we still don't know who's lighting the Flame at the end...we could all be hideously dissapointed yet

I still think South Park sent him up the best, one of my fave episodes ever.

Well we've had cameos from

James Bond
Harry Potter/ JK Rowling
Mr Bean
David Beckham

that means the only person left who is internationally significant enough is.........

Dr Who

French is the official language of the Olympics.

Can't see why. Wouldn't greek be more appropriate. That said, Greece probably sold off all rights of ownership to the games. Wouldn't be at all surprised if the flame's resting place gets off'd to the highest bidder.

Really enjoyable and an easy watch.

**** you Beijing, with your symbolism

A frenchman founded the IOC and the games as we know it.

Pierre de Coubertin founded the modern day Olympics in 1896. He was french.

English and French are the 2 official languages, each is used by announcers as well as the language of the host country, but as we happen to be in the UK this time, there is only french and english.

I did not know that. Fascinating! (of course I tend to be fascinated by small, stupid things these days so take that with a pinch of salt)

[buster_broon]

during one of the songs i heard the tardis so thats its close as we got i reckon

Kenneth branagh was also there

[EvilBoris]

Yeah, there was like a 1500 year gap between the Ancient Olmpic games and the modern ones.

[nakamura]

Is Rez by Underworld playing now?

[EvilBoris]

They said that Underworld was heavily involved in the music, so quite possibly

[nakamura]

Early on in the ceremony, before the high school musical I thought I spotted a few Underworld riffs in there but Google returned nothing.

Everybody else now trying to work out which country has the best selection of hotties?

Brazil and Canada for me thus far, but I'd have loved it if the Brazilians had marched in a thin line...
