Live Discussion of the Opening Ceremony of the 2014 Sochi Olympics
These opening ceremonies are so much better than the crap we saw during the London games two summers ago
Except the state of Ohio ;)
Thanks....I did not know that.
Now we’re on to Peter the Great.
Yep, that digital projection is truly fantastic! Dudes on the ship are my fav so far.
I love the projection. As I remarked before, the Soviets did pioneer such holography as far back as the 1960’s.
Is it just me??
Or are the gay-controlled NBC talking wonks putting down Putin at every opportunity???
Those floor graphics with the ship on the ocean were amazing.
I think its very cool. Certainly not the disaster the media wants it to be.
I don’t know why but I never had an “us vs them” feeling about Russia in the Olympics. In fact my favorite skaters were always Russian, from Slava Fetisov to Elena Slutskya.
The people at the Vancouver Games used the same tech on their floor as well. Remember the orcas?
St. Petersburg is great and all but how many surfs died building it?
I wish we had our own version of Putin. BTW, he is ranked #1 for world influence, we are now #2, if that.
Oh yes! (It isn’t just you.)
The pro-homo/pro-gay US administration AND all of their US news media have had an “attack Sochi” attitude ever since Obama and his gay minions declared the Russian Olympics “fair pink targets” for the homo agenda.
I switched to ESPN. Am I the only one not watching?
Russia has been backward and is to an extent today, they did have serfdom until 1861.
My dad got orders to Japan in 1967, so he took us on a month-long cross country tour (six kids, camping gear, station wagon) and one of the stops was Expo 67.
I broke my damn foot the night before we left, and we had to strap a wheelchair on top of the car because it was one of those you couldn’t put weight on, and they didn’t trust me to use crutches.
Anyway, it was pouring rain at Expo 67, and we have a family picture where we look like sopping wet dogs, not happy at all, especially me in the wheelchair.
But the biggest disappointment was the Soviet Pavilion. They were advertising something about weightlessness, and in my little kid mind, somehow I thought when you went in, you were going to be weightless. Go figure. Anyway, since I was in a wheelchair, I got to go to the front of the line, and I was so disappointed...it was some cheesy, boring black and white movie on weightlessness!
Hahahaha...I felt so ripped off!
I watched the movie about the snipers in the siege of Stalingrad this afternoon.
Ok, the nobility sucked. We get it.
