The opening ceremonies yesterday were very entertaining. I love Kenneth Branagh in anything, especially if he’s doing Shakespeare, and I thought the stadium looked gorgeous with the synthetic foothills built into the floor. I thought the focus on history, literature (particularly children’s literature), and healthcare was a great and positive way to show off your country. Good on you, London/Great Britain/Danny Boyle. I could have done without the “digital age” 3rd act and NBC commentators ruining everything, but Rowan Atkinson, JK Rowling, and James Bond fake-parachuting into the stadium with the most bored Queen in the world made up for it, I suppose.I could have done a week’s worth of comics about how much I hate NBC Olympics coverage, but I try to keep this thing positive. Happy Olympics, everyone! -- source link
