Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Is it just me or are they pretty lame? I guess China's spoiled me.

Also, the NBC commentators are horrible.

Beckham bringing the torch on a speed boat looks pretty cool.

Curious as to how they'll light the torch. The guy who shot the flaming arrow a few Olympics ago was one of my favorites.
