Olympic Fan Darcy Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 It's looking so much more beautiful at night, they should've started it later. Quote

Red Centaur Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Worst fashion parade in Paris history. WTF was that? Quote

yoshi Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 As a one time inhabitant of Cumbria, I'm prepared to accept that that is proper heavy rain... this is fun but it's also sad... Quote

In the traditional way is just really long and boring. 10 seconds per country is enough. But it's already dragged out longer than normal and feels like we're barely half way through it. Quote
Red Centaur Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Jolly has just flushed his career down the drain. This is career destroying stuff. Quote

All look like student work and there is opportunity for such great shot with the Eiffel Tower in the background. But again, screw up with amateur camera work Quote
Daze Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 The German Team is heading back to the OV they said on TV. 🤔 Quote

kevzz Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 I actually want to this to finish soon so I can just see the cauldron lighting. Had enough it feels quite stressful to watch. Everything feels so frantic and unprepared! Quote
baron-pierreIV Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 So, what one is watching on TV is NOT the real continuum going on in the river? So, the citizens of Paris who paid for seats are actually being cheated out of the ENTIRE continuity of the show -- which has been shown only for the hime audiences. That is the main failing of this Ceremony -- the one coherent version is out there in the ether. The live participants and spectators just didn't get the full feel of the show. Quote
Brekkie Boy Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 10 minutes ago, sebastien1214 said: I really can't seem to position myself on the ceremony at the moment. But in any case, from what I see on Twitter: - all French people love it, or at least have a good time - a large part of non-French people either hate it, or don't like it too much It's so divisive. Was wondering about the French verdict. I recall with London 2012 not everyone around the world understood it was the best ceremony ever. Quote

Yes, most fashion shows do these days. my disappointment is the lack of high style, the greatest models, the greatest fashion. That was first year fashion school design. I’m shocked. There was more quality in Gaga’s exploding ostrich feather fart thingy than what was in that fashion presentation. Quote
emre Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Well Frenchs are a nation never get ashamed whatever they do, so probaby they are very proud of this ceremony right now and blaming others who hates with lack of taste fashion history and also god for climate change hitting heavy rains.... Quote
