Getting wet on a river, Olympic Opening Ceremony thread deux

[Theremedy]

Will it get awesome?

Who is roof guy?

Will the cauldron be in the Eiffel Tower?

It all makes a bit more sense as it gets darker

kind of.

Not fair. They got my hopes up with Uganda and Uzbekistan but have now gone back to Palau and Panama.

I think it's great. Like the pace and being able to see each country.
Loving the excitement on the competitors faces.

The party vibe is happening now. This is probably the vision they were seeing when they devised it.

It's very choppy still !

It’s still not making any sense to me and I’ve had a fairly strong rum!!

I hope not. I would want my money back if I were them!

They’ll use AI to somehow reanimate Eďith Piaf

It reminds me a bit of St Antonio in Ibiza at night

Loving the music now.

whats In 2030

It was announced this week that France will host the Winter Olympics in 2030.

I was really looking forward to this, I thought the boat idea was a good one and was interested in how creative they could get hosting it on the river.

But they just haven't pulled it off

Same!

has anyone seen Under Paris on Netflix? is it wrong to wish for a giant shark to liven things up?

"original home of Paddigton Bear" 😂

Dusk seems to come suddenly in Paris.

Has anyone been seasick yet?

Peru had a fancy boat

I like Paris but this is shit, no atmosphere at all.

What do they think the catwalk thing adds ?

DuPont?

Wait what?

😉

I forgot that Uganda is Ouganda and got so excited 🙈 then the Ps started

<waves to @Raahh>.
I do think this would all look better in the dark. For many reasons.

That's what I was thinking.

It's not that the individual bits are bad, it's just really disjointed because it's so spread out. I keep thinking about what it would be like to watch and if be curious if I'd paid money to see competitors in the distance and nothing else.

Poland in wrap dresses, unusual choice!
