Warren Ellis comments Olympics opening

Just thought it might be useful ou entertaining for someone if I organized all the tweets Warren Ellis has published during the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony, directed by Danny Boyle.

    Points to Danny Boyle for a genuinely creepy start to the opening ceremony. It's all some kind of hideous fucking Summoning

    I will pay serious money for it to end with Ken Branagh inside the Wicker Man.

    Ken Branagh now stands in a glowing Circle Of Power as giant smokestacks rise up and fuck the very sky. This is deeply odd.

    Oh, it's time to be sad. Animatronic muttonchops on Victorian gentlemen deploy to "sad" position. Ken Branage is eating a baby.

    It appears that the One Ring has been forged, in Birmingham.

    Victorian industrialists are dance-miming beating poor people to death with their penises I think

    The Olympic Rings are forged, raining torrents of scourging fire down on the peasants who were forced to make them. Good message there.

    I see Prince Philip couldn't fake another bladder infection to get out of this one. Maybe he can ask James Bond to just shoot him.

    The Queen has summoned the armed forces and is announcing that everyone in the stadium must die to activate the hidden gods of Albion.

    Okay, she's not, but that would have been right in character for this show. Did I mention I'm quite ill?

    Somewhere in the background, Ken Branagh is riding around in a cart made entirely of black people, setting model villages on fire

    I somehow always knew that the soundtrack to the apocalypse could well be "Tubular Bells." Next up: child sacrifices!

    Here comes a performance of the music from Chariots Of Fire. Stage is of course aptly decorated with dead marathon runners.

    Okay, now a house full of people is being surrounded by glowing worms. I'm not sure who I'm rooting for. Possibly the worms.

    During the 90s sequence, if you looked carefully, you could see Shaun Ryder selling the audience dodgy E's from a Sainsbury's carrier bag

    What if this whole thing was the intended original ending of the Danny Boyle film "Sunshine"?
