Kayelle - the comedian was Rowan Atkinson as his Mr Bean character. Quirky humour, as I say.

I was thinking Queen Elizabeth looked like she was trying to NOT be teary eyed and was holding it back.
+ 1. As did Sir Paul. I enjoyed the whole thing! Totally British, totally quirky. Did wonder why Elton John wasn't there, he's closely tied to the Royals.

Okay, so we just finished the opening ceremonies. Thank heaven for the fast forward and skip buttons on our PVR remote!
I honestly didn't know who Danny Boyle was until they mentioned "Slumdog Millionaire". DH and I watched half an hour before we turned it off. Boring and not our kind of movie. I found these ceremonies very similar, though there were some good parts:
-Kevin Branagh
-Mohammed Ali
-JK Rowlings (just because she never appears in public)
-The children's choirs
-The music sequence but they missed out on U2 and Elton John (and for that matter Bob Geldof)
- The cauldron. Probably the best one ever as each "petal" represents a country and they came together as the world.
- Paul McCartney
Some parts I didn't like:
- The Queen looked like she wanted to be anywhere but there.
- Liked Mr. Bean, but would have enjoyed seeing the orchestra - that is a classic British piece of music not to mention its Olympic ties.
- Daniel Craig
My dad and I talked about the same thing this morning, Seems like Sir Elton was the only one missing.
I can't believe the Mr.Bean hating, lol.
And don't forget the part where they play the sound of TARDIS landing over the top of Queen song.
I didn't hate Mr. Bean (and I am not thinking you were directing it at me, just saying). I loved it actually, but at the same time here was a beautiful piece of music done by an awesome orchestra and they are upstaged by Mr. Bean.....um....giving them the finger!
