for it instead of just a boring stadium. Loved the revolution part with the headless Marie Antoinette and heavy metal band. The French love the macabre. The menage a trois section was cute. The inclusive fashion runway was great too. Celine Dion was amazing. It was definitely different and bold.

I am laughing at all the misunderstandings surrounding the opening. -- skw123, 11:40:23 07/29/24 Mon [1]

The Last Supper... no, a Greek bacchanal, Charon the ferryman? no, a French river spirit. Gaga's performance was good, very enthusiastic. Loved the silver mechanical river horse. Oh, and I never would have thought I'd see Snoop Dog as a newsman, lol.

bachanalia was crazy. It's not like Dionysus is an obscure god in mythology. And he's the god of wine! Wine is a big deal in France. But somehow it got mixed up with the last supper. Ugh.
