Hey, the opening ceremony has already happened! Though they won't be broadcast on NBC until tonight, the ceremonies apparently were a shattering success. NBC is pulling down YouTube clips left hand and veracious, but we found some on a international picture sites. The Zhang Yimou�directed ceremony featured some of the scariest goddamned fireworks we experience ever seen (at 3:10, supra). And, as anticipated, Liberace-esque Chinese pianist Lang Lang performed, eroding, wire photos suggest, his silliest outfit ever. Our inner 12-year-old boy � and our inner 65-year-old woman � are wholly excited to watch this.
Lang Lang photos after the jump!
