First it starts with a comedy video which turns into this weird creepy thing about kids running through the Paris sewers, encountering an alligator, then getting rowed out and into the Seine by a ghost and it cuts to reality and all the nations are going down the river on boats past a bunch of water jets because they're not doing this in a stadium.

This looks awful and ridiculous. Compare this to the spectacle of London 2012.

Now they're doing some weird old Hollywood movie musical style musical number with Lady Gaga and she's on a staircase, which is... somewhere in Paris?

I am so fucking confused.

Edit: They just cut to Macron and he looks as confused as I am.

This is why all Olympics - whether ceremonies or matches - get recorded on the DVR, so we can skip past all the nonsense.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Yes, but it was pretty much entirely nonsense.

Yeah, what's going on with the parkour? I don't get any of this. It's totally unfocused apart from anything else.

When I first learned how to do parkour I thought it should be an Olympic sport. Just set up some type of street and obstacles and get scored on how well you handle it plus how fast you go thru it.

Minions. MINIONS. Like from Despicable Me. I’m not really here, I took some sort of massive dose of shrooms accidentally, right?

[-] Don_Dickle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I only did shrooms once. Then I learned they are grown in cow shit and almost puked after that.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

I don't remember doing any shrooms when I got up this morning, but that might just be the shrooms.
