| 6. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Fri 26th Jul 2024. 21:07 While I appreciate them trying something different by not having it take place within a stadium and therefore making the city itself the stage thus far at least it has made for a poor spectacle. London 2012 really did set a considerably high bar when it comes to opening ceremonies. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 7. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Fri 26th Jul 2024. 22:30 Once it got to the bit around the Effiel Tower it became more of spectacle but as is often the case with these things it dragged on to long. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 8. Author: red-star-par Date: Fri 26th Jul 2024. 23:58 I see Christians are losing it over the Satanic Ritualistic visualisation in the opening ceremony. The metal band playing while blood spurted from the windows of the palace and the disembodied head of Marie Antoinette sang, the pale horse and single rider walking on water, and most blasphemously, the recreation of the last supper featuring a bunch of drag queens and trans folk Reply |

| 16. Author: Wotsit Date: Sun 28th Jul 2024. 16:04 Disrespecting/lampooning the Catholic Church has been a French tradition since before the Revolution. Are folk suggesting that the French abandon their long-standing traditions to pander to snowflakes in other countries fighting weird culture wars? Post Edited (Sun 28 Jul 16:05) Reply |
