Gojira playing with guest vocals by opera star Marina Viotti and multiple beheaded Marie Antoinettes in the Conciergerie where she was actually imprisoned. FUCK YEAH.
France with a sequence in their Olympic opening ceremony dedicated to horniness
No threesomes in the library!!!!
Danse Macabre and animated paintings as the Masked Torchbearer runs through the Louvre. (The Mona Lisa has been stolen by Minions.)
Ten newly commissioned statues of remarkable women.
Beautiful version of La Marseillaise by Axelle Saint-Cirel.
Fashion section that would probably be illegal in some US states ending with an almost naked blue guy. (Unhappy update: NBC cut this whole section from the US broadcast. I am disgusted but not surprised.)
Another nice version of Imagine. And I wonder if it’s the same burning piano from Eurovision.
The flag carried by techno Ghost Rider. So that’s two characters from this event I want action figures of.
The flame going back does make that last part run on long, with the Eiffel Tower lightshow going a bit V’ger Flyover.
Robert brothers (not Montgolfier brothers apparently due to launch site) hot air balloon torch.
