Misses
Where was Milne? Where was Lewis? Salute to great British children’s lit, my heinie.
The scary big baby.
What about the other 800 years of history?
Too much snogging.
The total cop-out of the final torch lighting. “Ummm… we can’t pick one former athlete we want to honor, so we’ll just let all these guys do it instead.”
Maybe this is a miss on my part but why Muhammed Ali? He made perfect sense for Atlanta. Not so much for here.
A total lack of Tolkien, Monty Python, and Dr. Who.
So, what did you think about it?
