Typical text from Louis. 

[Inspired by X]

“If I want to sleep all day and drink all night, I’ll do it, damn you!”

sorry:

I read an article the other day that said, “if you drink every day you are an alcoholic.” Thank god I only drink every night

“If I want to sleep all day and drink all night, I’ll do it, damn you!”

– Lestat de Lioncourt

I love this line so much bc it works on different levels. Primarily the fact that THATS BASICALLY WHAT VAMPIRES DO. Sleep all day and drink all night. So Lestat is actually behind perfectly honest here with his dad! It’s one of Lestat’s cleverest lines EVER regardless of whether he came up with it on the spot or it’s his credo.

Here’s more text from IWTV preceding that quote, because of reasons:

“He was in his father’s bedroom meantime, telling the old man good-bye, that he would return in the morning. ‘But where do you go, why must you live by such a schedule!’ the old man demanded, and Lestat became impatient. Before this, he’d been gracious to the old man, almost to the point of sickening one, but now he became a bully. `I take care of you, don’t I? I’ve put a better roof over your head than you ever put over mine! If I want to sleep all day and drink all night, I’ll do it, damn you!’ ”

– Interview with the Vampire

Especially now that we are anticipating/dreading the new book, it is very nice to have a funny take on all things VC. (I also love the image of the people of the page as one large discontented possum.)

Yep! I think we’re going to need to be mutually supportive. It has a 99% chance of being… um… therapy-inducing. I think we all just want our fave characters to be represented properly and not pushed ooc (LOUIS IN MERRICK OMG)(I mean he was bewitched but STILL)(ugh)

I think the People Off the Page are the discontented possum… the People Of the Page are going to be a contented possum from page 1, line 1 😉

[Amy] Nicholson astutely connects Eyes Wide Shut back to Interview with the Vampire through their intentionally strained eroticism, which serves to acknowledge the films’ respective true theme of the capitalist power that lingers under the superficial sexual roleplay. This, in turn, underlines the great irony of Cruise’s career: that his weirdest and most original performances, particularly in these two films, are often panned because they entail subtly blunt trickery that involves the deliberate assumption of cold, alienating theatrical tactics that point inward toward their own inherent falseness. These are Cruise’s most daring and revealing turns, rather than the obligatorily “relevant” performances that often win him praise.
