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. Yes, that was ineviatble Quote
Citius Altius Fortius Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 ... very disappointed about the opening ceremony - Tokyo was already bad, but this one is worse... Boring 1 Quote

I recall with London 2012 not everyone around the world understood it was the best ceremony ever. Still don’t think it was the best ever. Failed in a few areas… especially that awful inflatable house and cheap train ride section. Quote

I assure you that given the reactions in France, he may have killed his international career but this guy is going to become a star in France. And I think that suits him very well, he doesn't seem to me to be the kind of guy who wants an international career. Quote
Aussie bum Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Yes, Someone said it on here after the London Ceremony its most important that the Brits were happy and we were so I guess it stands as long as the French are happy thats what counts 1 Quote

Michelle Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 3 minutes ago, emre said: 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.... To be fair, it often rains in Paris. Even in July. Quote

yoshi Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 I'd be very very interested in the media guide to see what was planned for good weather. Is there any sign of it clearing? Quote

Michelle Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 The French will absolutely care less what outsiders think. however, there won’t be many French people defending this ceremony (so far!) Quote
emre Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Just now, Michelle said: To be fair, it often rains in Paris. Even in July. and knowing this risk and insist on making an open air ceremony city wide......what u say C'est la vie?? 🤣 Quote
JMarkSnow2012 Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 So we're up to S in the parade, nearing sunset, and there's a totally random fashion catwalk Quote
