Over Boyled?
Posted by: GraemeH on 13 June 2012
Thoughts on yesterday's unveiling of Danny Boyles vision of 'Britain' as a green and pleasant land?
2012 could not have spoofed this better! 'Spinal Tap' - all the way up to eleven. G
For a moment I thought this was a witty suggestion of too much Susan.
It reminded me of TellyTubby land.
It reminded me of TellyTubby land.
I bet the whole thing does not make as much money as the Telly Tubby land has.
Can be sure to have cost the taxpayer a lot more money than Telly Tubby land.
Greed and Peasant land would be far closer to the truth.
Was he kidding when he said it was three hours long?
The continuing world view of the UK is assured.
I have no interest whatsoever in the whole Olympics malarkey, but at least this 'presentation' has a sense of humour.
John.
I think this will be the only bit of the Olympics that I am interested in, not for the Danny Boyle side of it, but he has commissioned Underworld to do the music.
Could be interesting, or could just be sound effects and a bit of synth, rather like the 'Frankenstein' soundtrack for his stage play.
Normally I hate all the faff before big sports events, but for this I will make an exception.
I must say that the Summer of 2012 is turning out to be the Summer of things I don't give an damn about, I'm a republican, so the Jubilee was just a waste of time and money for me, the last football world cup finally killed off any interest I had in that sport (boring) so Euro 2012 is a non starter, and the Olympics is a collection of sports I don't care about.
Thank god for the cricket, oh, I am atheist, so maybe thank Wisden instead.
