I thought that Vikings and Dragons movie might be enjoyable. Until the Olympics.

It looks similar to ICE AGE, in animation style, with probably even cornier jokes. And the Olympics link is, as you said, negative points...

I wish I had another viewing source, but I only get a few channels. Oh well...

When we lived in the U.P. we could get Canadian TV, including back when the Games were in Calgary. They covered EVENTS and showed not only ALL the top contenders and praised whoever won, but also a smattering of the young up-and-comings. They did not spend all their time interviewing some American who lost while ignoring the three non-American medal winners.

Sigh.

We have to be careful talking about this - we could get found out and tossed out of the country!

I sure would like to see full coverage of events, because for something with which I'm not familiar seeing lots of runs helps me see what makes it good. Oh well .. maybe one day I can get some full coverage.

Dick Button can be pretty pointed at times - I read an article on salon.com where he took a lot of the male figure skaters to task for being clumsy and un-artistic!

+100 for the self-inflating commentary. That shit gets real old REAL fast.

"Now, Jim, you spent some time in Vancouver, didn't you?"
"Why, yes I do, Don, thanks for asking..."

(me: What does this have to do with anything?!?!?!)
