Beijing just earned the Olympics.

IMHO.

Check this (video), looks pretty damn impressive.

rodekill · Sat 04/09/2004 00:15:45

I agree.
They have earned the right to a 10 billion dollar debt.

PS: Why is that music showing up in all kinds of movie trailers and stuff lately? Where is it from?

how big is this movie?

Wonderful. Beijing gains another quirkily drawn building which looks out of place with the rest of the city. Any more and soon they'll effectively have a monopoly. That city is the architects' holy Mecca, I'm sure.

wow. i feel like going, just to check out this modern marvel.

is that holographic television really going to be there?

Gregjazz · Sat 04/09/2004 04:29:11

Wow. I can't wait.

auhsor · Sat 04/09/2004 04:30:38

I'm only going to be excited if that holographic tv is real. Otherwise its false advertising.

A holographic viewport like that is possible, because I've seen stuff like it at Disney World. Surely they wouldn't put it up just because they were too lazy to model a screen.

I'm dissapointed that they didn't raise the pool a bit with transparent sides. That would have truly emphasized the water cube concept and made for some stunning visuals.

Any videos of the opposite stadium?

The cool thing is that while it is not in use, they'll project things like goldfish in it. At least, I think that's cool. Only 3 years to wait!

Woah!

These olympics are going to rock. The chinese have put so much in it.

About three megs, maybe? That's just a guess.

*But expected.

That structure looks unsafe with a flat roof and no supporting beams.

Czar · Sat 04/09/2004 16:40:39

Yeah, it's great.

But I too want the answer to rode's question.
What is this music i hear everywhere, especially on some dramatic moments in some TV series.

Is there a site which has all the popular music from the movies, let's say the Exorcist one, and the one which is used when doing a slow motion in comedies etc. etc. ?

jetxl · Sat 04/09/2004 19:07:08

I just hope nobody gets hurt when that holographic TV comes crashing down.
