The Queen! Bond! Corgis!
I know, you're just here for the Corgis.
At tonight's Opening Ceremony for the 2012 Olympics (or as I know them as, the 2012 Athlete Bulge Watch), London shot their biggest load by putting THE QUEEN (you should curtsy at your keyboard while reading that) and James Bond together in the same room. I expected Helen Mirren in THE QUEEN drag to turn around when Bond came sashaying in, but it was the actual Queen and she had a line and everything. I hope this leads to The Queen starring in the next Bond movies as a villainess who beats him with her pocket book.
I haven't finished watching all of the Opening Ceremony, but I'm assuming that instead of fireworks, a naked Prince Hot Ginge came out and did jumping jacks. And I'm also assuming that the musical entertainment was Pete Doherty letting out his crack yodel while Harvey Price backed him up on the tambourine. Oh, and England's official ambassador of beauty Jodie Marsh lit the Olympic cauldron, right? Am I right? I'm totally right.

Ha ha - I was taken back by that too but believe it or not, wiki states it is a legitimate term for the scene in a production or event that was the most expensive or meant to be the most memorable.
Not just when the guy cums.
I hate Paul Mccarty. Boring ugh
To bad Freddie Mercury has been dead. That was real goosebump talent when he sang. Even over the sound system that voice was incredible.
No Foxxy. I see it. :O

i still think my idea of track and field is to have a snort-fest between kate moss and pete doherty.
a straight line of cocaine and on your marks, get set, GO!!! and see who can snort that shit up the fastest and make it over the line.
this opening ceremony paid no attention to "Real" british heritage and history at all. it was just shallow shit, mary poppings crap, harry potter crap, jk rowling crap, james bond crap.
bring on Rio di janeiro 2016!!! that will be a massive mardi gras, filled with hot latino guys wearing barely anything *fans self*

A friend on FB just posted about Macca: "Omg, it's Angela Lansbury!" He's so right.

Hahaha!
Blew the Chinese one out of the water...?
I knew the name "Danny Boyle," but I couldn't put the name to his works. I knew as soon as someone said he was the director of "Slumdog Millionaire" that it wouldn't be as good as it should have been.
That movie was blown up way more than it deserved. It was just a cliched sappy tale of some 'ethnic' (I'm not trying to be disparaging toward people, but the perspective) kids growing up in and out of the slums. There was nothing in the movie that actually made me feel attached to the characters or the outcome. /unrelated rant over
Also, I was really looking forward to seeing Bill Nighy somewhere--I saw some comments about "the guy from Love Actually". What were people talking about?
The Jam!

For all you West Coasters: take drugs. Lots of drugs. This is about the worst Olympic opening I have ever seen, and I've watched most of them since '72. The torch lighting is cool, and the walking in of the teams is great (look for the independent athletes team, they were fun!), and try to block out the rest. Gawd awful, srsly.
OMG- Meredith Viera just called the Queen/Bond/Corgi thing "the money shot." Jeeebus Christmas.
What's more boring than this show?
The humpty dumpty navy blue blazers they made the USA team wear, again.
They always put the stupid outfits on USA. That's what people around the world think of with Americans? What about, cowboy hats, native american costumes? American Revolution? Ok, that's dumb too, but at least with and she normall Saudi Arabia but they wore the head garb we would expect.
The Queen shouldn't have done that stunt. It was not very Queen Like

EC, does he sing one of his classic or his naf new stuff?
********************
He starts out with a new one (I think) and goes into a horrible rendition of a classic.
Ummmm, he needed some rest or something on that voice, because dude started out on the classic song rough as fuck!
Okay, I'm out.
GG, I am super sorry about your dad. I am sorry I didn't know until this thread he had passed away. My condolences! ((((((hugs))))))))
Again, G'Nite!
Great product placement - a mini cooper!

Sir Paul, you're not fooling anybody with that fucking brown hair. They couldn't have at least used "A Touch of Grey" to make that look a little less stupid?
Pros:
Kenneth Branagh
Mr. Bean
the winged bicyclists
Cons:
most of the rest of it
I mean, clearly somebody put a lot of *effort* into it. It's just... especially the beginning... eh.
i wonder how they're going to work Dr. Who into this

I much rather read through comments than watch the mess you all are describing. I do regret not watching Spain walk in on their free, Russian made gawdy condiment track suits. Poor Spain.

Thanx girl but he didn't show. But it was nice to see Mariel Zagunis carry the flag. Her dad went to high school with my sister. (sorry if I mentioned that already, I'm texting with friends too.)
And GG, if we aren't high we should have been before that whole flying/biking monkeys thing,and then ET. wtf?
EDITED TO READ: forgot you were on the west coast. GET HIGH. It only gets worse. Srsly. You need drugs. NOW.

Yeah, IF. Pops passed away on my Bday. Crazy old coot went hiking. But it was what he wanted he had said before many times that he wanted to go while on the trail. And he did.
It was rough. The whole family is in shock. I am glad that he came to visit us the day before and he kissed his grandsons and spoke to my husband who was home. Then he kissed me and called me by his name for me "Handicap", cos I can act real spechul sometimes. Anyway, thanks for asking...we're fighting through it.

Well, Hocky Fan, I was really excited when they honored Going Underground. The Brits do music good, but wanna take the credit from us. Still, viva Paul Weller and Elvis (Costello).

Don't get me wrong, there's tons of great British music. I just can't with this whole production. And now that Macca is coming on, I gotta go to bed before my ears bleed. LOL

E.cupcake-- Beijing OC was far superior! Agreed
IRISH FURY-- the queen is not only smelling a dirty armpit rigt under her nose, she's smelling rotten haggis and kidney smashed together. stupid old haggard bitch. Don't understand why people still adore the monarchy knowing that these fuckers murdered people and stole from the poor.
People.... buncha fucking idiots.
GG, I had no idea about your dad, but am picking up that he died??
If so, I am so sorry hon, I hope you're ok.

Kudos to everyone for giving small little Ireland such a great welcome.
What I love the most is honestly looking at all these amazingly sculpted and healthy bodies in a world of fatties - and skinnies who think they are healthy but aren't.
Looking at the royal family right now and they look like inbred assholes and the queen looks like a stick as long as my leg is stuck up her ass. They seriously have a lot of responsibilties and pressure in their own way but they have wealth and privilidge (sp?) that 99% of us will never understand and the queen still looks like she's smelling a dirty armpit rigt under her nose. Stupid bitch.

Loopy, wait a minute, Jodi Marsh yes, who's the other big titty bitch for mud wrestling? Katie Price with the garter tattoo? YES!
No to Danny Boyle now, I LOVED him since Trainspotting, and Shallow Grave was excellente! He gets a pass!
Posh may be skinny and morose but she wakes up next to Becksecks and she dresses to the tees! Darkened pass.
Come on, the Queen was hilair in that clip... jumping from the heli! ohohohohoh
