SO boring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opening-ceremony-is-kinda-boring-imho#post-238936 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 23:55:38 +0000 mooncici 238936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's so boring and sooo random!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opening-ceremony-is-kinda-boring-imho#post-238935 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 23:52:56 +0000 Boogs 238935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: Agreed!</p> <p>DH is all into it. Me, not so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opening-ceremony-is-kinda-boring-imho#post-238932 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 23:20:59 +0000 Honeybee 238932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on the west coast so I'm just now getting to the torch but wtf? I feel like they were trying way too hard to be intellectual. I really just want to be entertained... maybe I'm not smart enough for this, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opening-ceremony-is-kinda-boring-imho#post-238915 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 22:23:55 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 238915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe because I'm a huge history nerd....but I loved it. Thought it was great. Could have done without the flying-monkey-bikers, because it didn't make sense, but other than that...thought it was well done! They stayed really true to England's character/history, rather than being all about the technology, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opening-ceremony-is-kinda-boring-imho#post-238912 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 22:19:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 238912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ummmm... we're at the part where the guy is doing a cover of the beatles... and the supposed "doves" look like the creepy freaky monkeys from Wizard of Oz!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opening-ceremony-is-kinda-boring-imho#post-238876 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 21:17:54 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 238876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's ok. We're about an hour behind. Brazil is just marching in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opening-ceremony-is-kinda-boring-imho#post-238865 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 21:10:56 +0000 Grace 238865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I missed it earlier, and am watching a couple different feeds. Right now it's just the parade of athletes, which I do find boring. Was the pagent showing the history of London before that? I thought that was kinda neat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opening-ceremony-is-kinda-boring-imho#post-238861 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 21:00:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 238861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah I'm not glued to the tv. but I missed the first part- I guess it wasn't a bad thing lol<br /> I'm watching the parade of nations. I know I'm an hour earlier than some of you.

The set and costumes are cool but it's been almost 2 hours of ho hum. Come on Parade of Nations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opening-ceremony-is-kinda-boring-imho#post-238778 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 20:15:03 +0000 Andrea 238778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, boring. I am only watching cuz I used to live there so just curious.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opening-ceremony-is-kinda-boring-imho#post-238773 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 20:13:29 +0000 chopsuey 238773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>kinda? Omg it's so boring!!!!!!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opening-ceremony-is-kinda-boring-imho#post-238770 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 20:10:40 +0000 Clementine 238770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessLC: it just feels so disjointed too. random skits. unimpressed but the thing is that it could have been sooo good not like Beijing good, but UK has a ton of cool stuff about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opening-ceremony-is-kinda-boring-imho#post-238767 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 20:09:28 +0000 Ree723 238767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It gets better - I promise! We watched it live in Australia (at 5:30 a.m.!) and it was pretty good overall. There are some random bits in the show but overall, I thought it was great. I wasn't expecting a repeat of China though as I don't think anyone will ever come close to the Chinese in terms of precision!</p> <p>ETA: Then again, I am a bit partial - I lived in London for several years (including the year they won the bid) so I will always have a soft spot for anything to do with my former home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opening-ceremony-is-kinda-boring-imho#post-238764 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 20:08:40 +0000 SleepyMonkey 238764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a big, fat AGREE. i was just commenting this is the worst opening ceremonies in recent memory...i guess following Beijing is a tough spot to have, but really? big groups of dancing people? the crowd can't even see them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/opening-ceremony-is-kinda-boring-imho#post-238762 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 20:06:54 +0000 Clementine 238762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mean, I wasn't expecting London to be anywhere near Beijing's level, but seriously, I'm bored to tears. The only good stuff has been the video clips, but this is opening ceremony and if video clips are better than the actual performances then sth is def off. </p>
