Glad you enjoyed it bro, that's the spirit

tell it like it is without blinders on. patriotism is for dipshits and hicks.

Agreed... pretty good overall. Just didn't like the "digital age" stuff - thought it was pretty silly. I really liked the old stuff.

the digital age could have been so much better. if they would have shown its rise with dramatics and showcased its importance it could have been amazing. instead they focus on fucking twitter like IM's flashing all over the place and a fucken cell phone. Then at the very end have Tim berners lee sitting in front of a clearly blank screen like. Really? Thats all you have to say about the digital age? The importance of computers, satellites, etc.. and they give me this shit???? GTFO right now, fucken horrible.

It was the best opening I ever saw from any country so far

Not even close, your views are blurred by patriotism. You would say it was amazing if the queen had come out and taken a shit in the toilet and said let the shitty games begin!

The whole queen jumping out of the plain thing was horribly done with bad timing. Pink dress jumps out of plain 5 seconds later queen is walking down stairs. Really? They couldn't put any more effort in to make it look semi real?

For me, the only part of the show that had real emotional effect and pulled me in with the visuals and music was the industrial age. When the scene where world war 1 was going down and that slow whistle music came on I was fucken pumped! Good shit that was. Sadly that was the pinnacle of the show for me and I was let down the rest of the way.

Paul mccartney is a weak diluted mainstream example of brit music, mainly tailored as he was for an american market. I guess they thought he'd be more worldly paletable. Its easy to pick the odd bad point but the ceremony was a pleasant suprise to me
