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?

The Purge music is starting...

I'm dying for a wee but like fuck am I going to miss the end.

It's a robotic Ezio

We had David Beckham channelling his inner Bond to pilot a speedboat down the Thames.

Is flame boy on the 'orse?

is it a real person on the horse? i can't quite tell?

Yep

We're rooting for you to make it to the end

Look like we might be getting to the 'proper' bit now...

That was my thought

We gave up. I couldn't stand the noise.

Is the horse going to light the cauldron?

Also why are randoms carrying the country flags after the poor country flag bearers got relegated to waving on boats instead of leading their teams?

Ahh, I reckon real Ezio is still making his way up the tower.

It took me a minute to work out why you talking about the 2045 Olympics....

Where the fuck did the horse start from - Germany?

My French pal ... described it as self-indulgent arty fuckery

I couldn't have put it better myself ...

if anyone gets the chance to go to Kynren in Co Durham please do.
this has lots of the vibes and spectacle that this is offering

Turned off too. The slow motion horse did it for me

Would it be more French dissing to say they should have got the warhorse puppeteers involved, I believed in those horses!

My bet - Celine Dion self immolates as the Olympic torch at the top of the Eiffel Tower.

My horse will go on.....

I quite like the montage

One of my offspring is showing me memes from twitter. Can't breathe now from laughing.

Oh the Beijing drummers, they were ace!

There should be three horses and riders.
