Well this may not have been what Oprah was talking about, but most of the victims in that movie were black women, weren’t they?

That’s a good idea for a reason she walked out. But I did the math, under the cut, and POC women made up 19% (5 of 26) of the on-screen kills, that’s if she watched an entire hour to include all of them.

I bet the whole mess with Yvette was the actual tipping point. It’s just shy of 30 min into the movie.

I was going to do a post of just the kills, but it was getting to be wayyyy too long, so I just skimmed the whole movie and took a tally. 25 kills total. 

– caucasian men: 5

– caucasian women: 7

– children (all were caucasian): 7

– POC women: 1

– POC men: 1

– possibly biracial women: 4 

– possibly biracial men: 0

– person who dies during their shipping to Europe: 1

How on earth do you pronounce Louis’ last name? I have never really knew how to pronounce it. To be honest his last name is a mouthful.

Alright *shoves Lestat aside* to answer your question: How to pronounce Louis de Pointe du Lac: you’re lucky I took French in high school which has been EVER so useful to me in my adult life. NOT.

  • Louis: “Loo-wee”, with less emphasis on the “wee” part.
  • de: “dih,” means “from” in French.
  • Pointe: “Pwan” with almost no emphasis on the “n,” means  “tip.”
  • du: “due,” means “of.”
  • Lac: “Lack,” means, “lake.”

BRING IT ALL TOGETHER! Emphasis on Pointe and Lac bc of reasons.

“Loo-wee dih Pwan due

Lack,” “Louis from the tip of the lake.”

This has been your French lesson.

With the blessing of i-want-my-ivtv (praise be to you Uncle Lestan!) and one
shoulder left (sword-mishandling during a blessing happens a lot more than you
can imagine)
, here’s a
little tutorial on how to pronounce Louis’ name.

Warning: strong French accent incoming.

IT GOT BETTER. your French accent is impeccable. PARFAIT JUSTE PARFAIT. am I gonna need to coerce you into pronouncing more stuff properly in French hmmmmm?… also you pronounced Lestat the way I prefer, too, none of this weird Germanic “Les-DOT” crap Mater tries to get us to do.

So I just nominated Louis in the FFA Woobie-Off. After some deliberation I nominated movie!Louis rather than book!Louis, because Brad Pitt’s tragic face clinched it, and also he just seems so much more passive in the movie. We must hope for him to beat all the other woobies:
