We are all lucky that the French military was so inept that Hitler didn’t have to bomb Paris to rubble in order to take it.

The sound mixer is doing an awful job. Commentators mikes are way too loud, the main event audio feed way too low.

 

To this I have to add I feel like NBC has denied us a lot of the opening ceremony. The Orsay feels like the last real piece of it we got.

No hate on Paris, but I know where I'd rather be for Olympic events right now.

The fucking logistics of that music set up makes me cringe. Holy fucking shit that is mad amazeballs shit. /fullnerdhardon

From my understanding they ceremony had 12 parts. We saw I think at best 4 or 5? All because they had to keep cutting to Team USA.

I love all the olympic highlights 

The robot ghost horse is cool too

This is by far the strangest opening ceremony ever

And I'm totally here for it.

It has fucking everything. I try to imagine the logistics of putting it all together and the ideas and make it translate and it’s outstanding. 

That's a badass oilers cap the guy raising the flag has

Seems like the rain is refusing to fuck off. Bunch of horny wet athletes. 

I would watch a 6 episode 6 hour series on all the logistics for this event. Then a deep dive on the tech supporting the logistics on a separate one.

Is my nerd flag flying?

Well, it's flying proudly.

So these were the acts I remembered plus was able to pull from elsewhere: 

act 2 - Synchronicity
act 3 Liberty
act 4 Equality
act 5 - fraternity
act 6 - sisterhood
act 7 - sportsmanship
Act 8 - festivity

act 10 - obscurity

I'm laughing considerably because about two hours ago my German cousin sent a message asking if I thought the French deserved to have the rain so bad during the opening ceremony. Too funny.

It is weird to hear these speeches with almost no crowd reaction...either way.

Buzzkill. After robot ghost horse. Come on Frenchies! Let’s fucking go!!!

Only 74 more speakers to go…

Just what everyone is here for, speechifying.  They can never resist grinding things to a halt.

Both in French and English.

What % of the athletes need to pee right now? 

It's Paris, you just pee where you stand.

You don't think they are going to use the Eifel Tower to be the Cauldon, do you?

Nadal, tennis.. probably not gonna be my call of Yannick Noah for a double tennis carry. Using Nadal is interesting for sure.

Light this candle!

I’m hoping 🤞

I've missed the rest, but the Eiffel Tower light show was pretty cool.  

Disco France now. I do love that I have no idea what’s going to happen. I’ve really enjoyed this.

Zidane to Nadal.  that is bad ass.  Nadal owns Paris.

Good point

This Eifel Tower light show is amazing

Indeed! And I’m glad we could cut away from it to see these folks standing around
