I went to Olympics.org and they had some links to video clips for each opening ceremony through the years. I didn't watch them so I can't vouch for them.

I'm with you. I love the scale, the innovation, the pageantry. At one point I turned to GD and said "I'm so glad pageantry is still around." You're right, you don't see anything like this anywhere else, and all the symbolism and oddness make it really unique.

I enjoyed nearly every minute. I think the only truly bad part was when Yoko had to READ her "poem" off a piece of paper. For God's sake, she couldn't memorize it? Oh, and she's still a nutter after all these years. Blech.

GD's Peter Gabriel/Vader observation was killing me. Every time they did a close up I was in hysterics.

But everything else was beautiful and amazing.
