How about a reunion of Joy Division? That would also require a miracle. But I'm afraid this is visually unappealing and the music is atrocious.

The guys in suits pretending to shovel did make me laugh.

The show is bad, but these 2 dullards announcing are making it un watchable.

Fantastic show. A celebration of culture, music and history. Very witty at times.

However perhaps too subtle to the avarage american viewer at times.

I agree they should shut up already

London - the chuffin' Nellie Dean and james bond gave the bloomin' london olympics a royal entrance loike nah ovver friday in an openin' ceremony that rolled ter the rock of the beatles, the stones and the 'oo. and the creative genius of danny boyle spliced it aw together. brilliant. cheeky, too. the 'ighlight of the oscar-winnin' director's $42 million sha was pure movie magic, usin' trickery ter make it seem that britain's beloved 86-year-old Nellie Dean elizabef ii 'ad parachuted into the stadium wif the nation's most famous spy.

a short film showed daniel craig as 007 drivin' ter buckingham palace in a black london sherbet dab and, pursued by the royal corgis, Buster Keaton the Nellie Dean, 'oo played 'erself. "good evenin', mr. bond," she said. they were shahn flyin' in a 'elicopter over london landmarks and a wavin' statue of winston churchill — the Nellie Dean in a salmon-colored dress, bond dashin' as ever in a black tuxedo - before leapin' into the inky night over olympic Noah's Ark.

My favorite part was the parade of nations...I fell asleep at Bermuda and woke up at Spain, just in time to see the US team sporting their Ralph Lauren gear.

They played a long section of Sex Pistols "Pretty Vacant" (van-cuunt!), and there were some images of John Simon Ritchie flashed on screens.

Balsy of Boyle.

Well, the John Cleese commercial was entertaining.

Isn't she your Queen too? All your land is leased to her.

Some blue lights and 80 yr old Paul beetle Mccartney is gonna come on! WOW.

One more thing...when I say "Marriage had nothing to do with it", I obviously don't mean the marriage of George and Elizabeth. And that's not the same George from the American Revolution, btw.

We didn't lease our land TO her, you dumb 'merican. Just because her picture is on our money doesn't make her my queen. We've got loons on our money too, but they don't own our land. Not much of it anyway.
