The US broadcaster NBC is facing growing criticism after editing their delayed coverage of the London 2012 opening ceremony to replace the "memorial wall" tribute section with a Ryan Seacrest interview with Michael Phelps.

 

I'll say this much regarding the Olympics.  NBC is the worst, by far, when it comes to "presenting" the Olympics.  It is so sterilized, packaged and produced, the "live" broadcast is nothing more than a DVD commemorative presentation.  Fucking maddening to watch.

Got up to make a peanut butter & jelly sandwich and damn missed the Bond portion.  *%#@!

I'm sure it's on youtube. Bond doesn't shoot anyone though, and the Queen adresses him incorrectly, but it's good fun.

Kudos for getting the Queen to parachute into the stadium though...I wouldn't have predicted that.

Thumbs down for Queeniepoo's dropping of protocol by calling Bond, Mr Bond instead of Commander Bond.

That's what me and my Dad said. We all really liked the opening ceremony, even though I'm not the most patriotic of people.

You wouldn't want George Lucas any where near it, especially if you want it to be dark and gritty.

Have him in a Gene Roddenberry role, out of the way in some important sounding job, leaving various people free to actually write proper stories.

"George, could you please go to Starbucks and get coffees for everyone? Oh and make it a macchiato for the dolly operator..."

ALOL

Make him a runner??

XD

That'd be awesome.
