Paris Olympics 2024

[KeriRhys]

Okay, the heavily accented English is very much doing it for me!!!

 

[LaBlonde]

but this scene looks really cool

the flag bearers all walking behind the horse was one of the coolest visuals of the night (not that that’s a particularly long list but )

Ok so I get the fashion show aspect, but why on earth not model iconic dresses/outfits from French designers? Not sure this is the time to showcase young up and coming ones, sorry.

Not sure why we've had a few iterations of the Stig

 

[Redline]

I do love the famous French singer...Lady Gaga.

 

[Peonyrose]

Why is there a smurf on a platter

 

[Moot22]

Have they forgotten about that torch guy?

He must have slipped in the rain RIP

 

[Grifty Mc]

I wish they had just put on a massive show of Les Mis. This is the most mental thing I have ever seen, and not in a good way. The choreography is terrible

 

[Moot22]

It’s like a 2 hour car advert that has nothing to do with a car. Very Citroen.

 

[LaBlonde]

that garland is fighting for its life

 

[LowCalCalzoneZone]

Genuinely concerned someone is going to vom over the side a boat, or even fall in the Seine, it's that choppy

 

[Merpedy]

France telling us to dance through the world going to shit

inspiring message

 

[Peonyrose]

The choir look so pissed off

Again, no. Just French.

Suddenly they are rushing through I feel

not sure it’s that great for the athletes to be in the rain for so long - and there were talks on my broadcast that they might need to skip some bits because of the rain

Came up on my facebook today. What a show that was. I always like the opening ceremonies but London put on such a spectacular one. I've got high hopes for Paris on Friday.

The nine year old took one look at the Smurf and picked up her iPad

 

[londongirl2001]

I think the main problem is, we don’t know where any of this is happening, where was the opera singer doing her thing, where are the dancers? It feels a bit disjointed and the clips in between don’t help. Sad thing is, you can see the amazing ideas behind it all, but the execution lacks cohesion.

Edit: omg somebody save those athletes from this rain!!

 

[Mark81]

I have French friends who live in Paris and they've moved to Italy for the month and working remotely

 

[Clovis]

Gonna be Celine Dion

Celine watching this shit show and making a discreet exit:

A burning piano after the arson attacks. How fitting
