I liked the artistic part of the opening ceremonies and I always love the march in.
So they did their stupid global warming thing. Don’t care.
The last olympics i really liked was Australia, Russia tried very hard to go over the top and had technical issues but i think they did pretty dam good though its nearly bankrupted them, China was definitely over the top and beyond, too much tech, flash and size, but fairly good, Britain had a pretty good opening, very well organized, they did good with a decent balance of history and performance.
I started to watch the Rio opening, it just did not wow me, went to bed, of course predictably NBC has screwed around with it.
