ok, ok, no spoilers please. Heheh, not till 10 seconds before each element happens ... which is when NBC commentators will spoil them.

The "Moveable Type" segment was totally awesome...and has a clever illusion at the end:

Spoiler:


At the end of the segment, several hundred Chinese folk reveal themselves from beneath the field of "type" blocks, inferring that they had been driving the entire mechanism by themselves manually.

Given the huge amount of synchronisation, and the precise acceleration and deceleration to maintain the surface contours (and given that each individual could not see the patterns) I figure it was computer driven until the folks appeared at the end.

Either way...it was awesome to watch.



Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

They should create a separate thread just about the ceremony so that spoilers can be posted.

On a serious note, can someone please TIVO the ceremony for us, and burn it to Disk? We missed the first hour (including the lighting of the caldron). Many many thanks.

(PS: TIVO's are only new here and cost upward of $800.00 at present)

Well, the drumming thing was pretty sweet. Precision on a huge scale.

Reminds me a little bit of Blue Man Group, heheh.

I hope your recording this for us on your TIVO...

BTW: Don't bother burning it to disk, just give us your TIVO when we arrive, seeing as they're so cheap over there..
