Theatrical Trailer
20 freakin’ years and they can’t include the deleted scenes.
I’m still pissed off about the lack of deleted scenes.
Fellow roleplayer appreciation time: it’s time to tell some of your favorite blogs that you acknowledge, and appreciate their work; let them know that you love them. Spread the love to 10 of your favorite blogs, and if you don’t have 10, then just spread it to the next 10 on your dash!
(I struggle to describe it to ppl, I usually cater the length and depth of my description based on my audience, for example, to describe it to my 7 yr old cousin (who loves vampires and was a vampire princess fairy for Halloween): “It’s mostly about a happy vampire family with 2 dads, and they don’t always get along with eachother or the world.”)
As Tom Cruise put it so eloquently, “The movie is not for everyone.” No value judgement there; it’s just not everyone’s cup of tea, so I don’t try to sell it.
I will try to describe the story in the language of tumblrland:
“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book…?”
“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book or seen the movie?”
“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book or seen the movie?”
“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book or seen the movie?”
“How would you describe IWTV to someone who has not read the book or seen the movie?”
You can also try my vc synopsis tag, but there be spoilers there!
….That last gif is also tribute to antoineandthepiano who loves that gif! And it’s appropriate here, bc if I think the person might actually like it, I do tell them to #READ THE BOOK in the hopes that I can make them one of us ❤
LESTAT’S NEVER BEEN LOVED BACK ARE YOU KIDDING ME Just take my heart and destroy it. I am ruined.
;A; IKR??
Well, that quote refers to movie!IWTV. If you’ve read TVL, you know Lestat’s been loved before in his life ;]
And, technically, it happens in an about 10 min in the movie, but Lestat, Louis, and Claudia happily together for some 60+ years, so there was love then 😉
sometimes i think that what lestat needs is some molly weasley in his life, like, a mum who will BEAT SOME SENSE IN THAT EMPTY BLONDE HEAD, KICK HIS ASS IN FRONT OF HIS FRIENDS and then drag him home and give him warm blood soup and kiss him in his coffin, bye love sleep well beware of the sun mummy AGGRESSIVELY LOVES YOU
maybe he wouldn’t have so many issues then, but also maybe not
#It got better #Agrees Aggressively
Well Gabrielle does slap him when it’s called for, but yeah, she could be doing so much more!
That’s sort of what Claudia did to him, but in a much meaner way, when she made her point. On his face.
^See, this is a Lestat who’s giving you his full attention and ready to learn a thing 😉
“I could hear Lestat in his room, the sound of water splashing from his pitcher. The faint smell of his cologne came and went like the sound of music from the cafe two doors down from us.” – IWTV
Is he shaving? Is he brushing his fangs? Maybe he does have some scruff. He didn’t mention being freshly shaven before Magnus turns him.
ANYWAY….
The women… I dunno! It’s never mentioned! I’ll open it up to everyone. What do y’all think?
Unlike some other male vampires who didn’t have a choice or otherwise weren’t manscaped pre-Dark Gift, I think Lestat did convey to Louis to get himself all cleaned up, bc he planned to be smooching on that face for eternity ❤
