I reblog a ton of it! When it came out in 2013, OLLA was the closest to the high quality of vampire movie we as a fandom have deserved. Look at these beautiful realistic modern vampires:
Of course the vampire physiology for them is fairly different from the Ricean species in a few very specific ways which I won’t spoil for you (except to mention that I doubt VC vampires would be at all interested in blood popsicles, even tho vampire!meWOULD BE).
ALSO SEE WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS (which I hear is available for a limited time as a 30-day rental on iTunes for $0.99??) because that is the more humorous way of achieving the high quality of vampire movie we as a fandom have deserved!
My dream came true ; I’ve been waiting for this ask for so long. My dear, thank you! Yes, I’m also a
huge fan – for many wrong reasons – of Top Gun, Maverick/Iceman is my fav
OTP ever (with Ethan Hunt/Will Brandt and Louis/Lestat ; yep I love to pair Tom
Cruise with guys, don’t judge me). Seriously I had never seen so much tension between
two characters in a movie before, it’s kinda amazing. Anywayyy, I digress. I also
made some unsuccessful crossover edits of the two movies. I mean it’s such a weird, specific and personal crossover I didn’t even hope to get notes (big up to every person who liked or reblogged it btw!) but Top Gun is the reason why I felt in love
with IWTV then VC soooo… I regret nothing haha!
But really, when you think about it, there’s some similarities… For example, the plot. Let’s call our hero(es) “the brat” (suits both Lestat and Maverick, nope?)
– First, the brat spot a dude
– he “fools around” with the aforementioned dude
– and it ends up with an “ambiguous” relationship.
– Of course, the brat crashes (in the water) and burns
– so he’s all sad and shit
– but finally, he fucking rises like a phoeniiiiiiiiiix.
Both movies also involves:
– flying (with sexy dudes)
– “fooling around” (with other sexy dudes)
– a shit load of sexy dudes (doing sexy stuff)
– heterosexual backing
– a touching piano scene (to make you cry when the piano guy dies in the next scene)
(½) I was… not expecting such a response to my POTP question. I want to clarify first that I am grateful for your response. That I mean sincerely; I harbor no ill-will towards you, and nothing in this response is sarcastic. I’ve always had issue with anyone saying “People from X group are [negative remark here]” if I belong to said group. Thank you for reminding me that such statements can be general, rather than applying to everyone in said group. And I only knew about the fanfic thing –
(2/2) – and the fact that negative reviews of her work were brought up on her page; I didn’t know there were fans who attacked reviewers. The bullet point about the “Beauty’s Release” review sounds like she was being sincere that she didn’t want fans to attack the reviewer, and I don’t see any rabid rage in the comments, but I don’t doubt they did attack the reviewer in place(s) I didn’t see. I was completely unaware of the vast majority of what you included in your response. Sincerely, I thank you.
You are very welcome! What a gracious reply. Anon is referring to this post about the history of the People of the Page that I wrote (with the help of some fandom friends who did not want to be credited for obvious reasons) recently.
I’m very happy to answer questions when they are asked in a respectful manner, as this Anon did, and it’s even better when I have successfully convinced them of my point(s) let them draw their own conclusion(s) based on the information that I have, or what I can gather from the fandom at large who see/reblog-and-add-to my posts.
Heartfelt Thanks~*
…to all who saw that post and liked/reblogged, just to be supportive or to have that post available in case they needed to Explain Someone A Thing at some point. It touches me when you do that; it makes it worth the time and effort I put into gathering the facts and answering such delicate questions ^_______^
