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

[Suedehead]

Not the fashion show again

 

[Alex]

Love how the commentator loves calling out all of France’s colonial atrocities!

Watching this on France 2 surprisingly this hasn't come up !

 

[Suedehead]

Ok but this bit now slaps fr fr

 

[Lucille]

This should be such a moment but gasping at the terrible direction! It needs to be studied!!!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

 

[Sheena]

This should be such a moment but gasping at the terrible direction! It needs to be studied!!!

YES!

And the sound is appalling.

 

[Ellie]

What’s with the celebration of Italian music?

 

[Suedehead]

But it slaps in a drag race way not Olympics

 

[Suedehead]

Sound and lighting are both appalling

 

[Sheena]

The out of focus shots!

 

[straightorbroken]

THAT WAS ICONIC

 

[straightorbroken]

Are they digging Melanie Thornton up for this? Keep this going forever France!

 

[Suedehead]

la Bouche may have had a French name but they were German UGH

 

[PercyPig]

This should be such a moment but gasping at the terrible direction! It needs to be studied!!!

It doesn’t even feel like the music is being fed directly in to the TV image.

 

[Tetris-Rock]

The collective forehead vein of Dailies Mail and Express is currently POPPING in response to homosexual European Union tribute.

 

[supermassive]

Is the DJ the “I’m not your toy” lady from Eurovision?

 

[Dark Carnival]

SO MUCH FAGGOTRY !!!

 

[VoR]

UGH at the British commentator moaning about them giving us five minutes of Eurodance

 

[supermassive]

Sasha Velour looks DRENCHED

 

[Alex]

Nicky Doll getting her moment

 

[Ellie]

I mean I know this is some kind of EU celebration, but it’s showcasing how other Western European countries are better at music than France.

 

[straightorbroken]

France is really into vogueing right now.

 

[Alex]

It's much better without the boats or is it just that I am more pissed

 

[Sheena]

UGH at the British commentator moaning about them giving us five minutes of Eurodance

Andrew Cotter. He’s generally wonderful. Just so you know.

 

[Lucille]

Obsessed that the Parisian olympics has the same budget as one of DC’s instagram stories from Sunday drag brunch!

 

[Suedehead]

I do like this PORTION I won’t lie but … it’s just so cheap and messy looking

 

[Tetris-Rock]

The rush down one’s millennial spine whenever STEREO LOVE pipes up.

 

[Madison]

In hindsight, 2012 should have an EU themed Eurodance spectacular. Maybe ditch the NHS segment for it.

 

[Suedehead]

Where is the BUDGET????

 

[PercyPig]

Who’s directing this!

Crew in all the shots!

 

[straightorbroken]

Alexia. Ice mc. It's A Rainy Day. Perfection!

 

[Suedehead]

In hindsight, 2012 should have an EU themed Eurodance spectacular. Maybe ditch the NHS segment for it.

The NHS bit was chefs kiss

 

[Suedehead]

FINALLY
MYLENE

 

[Alex]

Where is the BUDGET????

Where is the MYLÈne.....

 

[Alex]

[Marina Salty]

Désenchantée

 

[Lucille]

No I’m obsessed now. FAGGOTS ONLY! Losers go home!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

No!

The NHS bit was chefs kiss

Wasn't that also the Harry Potter bit

 

[Alex]

Ha was typing that out and then we got a TINY SNIPPET but still yay

 

[Lucille]

Bless the men on Grindr messaging me like I’ll be conscious in 10 minutes time.
