Paris 2024 - Day 0 - The Opening Ceremony (Fri 26 July) (1 Viewer)

[Ellie]

What’s wrong with the SOUND?

 

[Ellie]

This is all very La La Land. Not a good thing.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

What's the point of bearing a flag if you aren't actually taking it anywhere?

 

[Finn]

I like the torch bearer

 

[AGinAg (38)]

This is all so terrible. I can't get enough.

 

[Finn]

Something tells me these can-can dancers have day jobs

 

[ZenGiraffe]

This CAMERA WORK

 

[Madison]

Not quite Chinese levels of synchronisation.

 

[rhythmbandit]

They're so uncoordinated.

 

[straightorbroken]

Well this section is going smoothly.

 

[win_the_game]

Is my sound fucked or did they just put a donk on the Can-can?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Is my sound fucked or did they just put a donk on the Can-can?

BOTH

 

[Madison]

Spoiler: the Olympic Flame will be them setting Notre Dame on fire again.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Oh France what the sweet fuck have you done.

 

[Marina Salty]

It's really giving eurovision carte postale

 

[Lucille]

This is all so terrible. I can't get enough.

It’s giving Turquoise carpet!

You can tell the dancers have been on STRIKE!

 

[Lucille]

Glad struggling Parisian artisans Louis Vuitton are getting some promo out of this.

 

[Lucille]

What is happening?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I think those men are hot but they never zoomed in enough to confirm it

 

[Marina Salty]

Am also loving the cheap hot mess of this

 

[Finn]

It's really annoying me how the torch procession stuff is PRE-RECORDED

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I hope the closing ceremony is currently being HASTILY REPLANNED

 

[Lucille]

Oooooh a bi athlete.

 

[Marina Salty]

But this is so making history as the worst opening ever

 

[Nancy]

There doensn't seem to be many people there.

 

[Lucille]

Oh it’s raining again

 

[Ellie]

But this is so making history as the worst opening ever

i thought Tokyo totally missed the ball. Worst in my memory anyway.

 

[Marina Salty]

Bring out Celine Dion dear France

 

[Finn]

It might get more interesting. We don't yet know what ISIS have planned

 

[Lucille]

There doensn't seem to be many people there.

320,00 watching apparently! But everyone has been banned from coming within 1/4 mile of the river for weeks!

 

[win_the_game]

This ceremony is giving me PARIS SYNDROME.

 

[Ellie]

Yay for some decapitated heads.

 

[rhythmbandit]

They've had seven years to plan this!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Is the screaming man's microphone on?

 

[Lucille]

Ok the beheaded queen is kind of a SERVE! I could skip the metal though.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

 

[Ellie]

Commentators aren’t doing a very good job. Is this a famous band?

 

[AGinAg (38)]

This is probably the best bit so far.

 

[straightorbroken]

Best bit so far. Reminds me of Annie Lennox at London.

 

[Suedehead]

I’m sorry but this is terrible so far
