Hi, ok random question. What do you think about Dinosaurs?

Leave a comment

♛*laughs* That is pretty random, as far as random questions go! It’s a subject that I enjoy very much. I go through these phases of intense interest on certain subjects for nights to months at a time, and dinosaurs is a recurring focus.

I assume you mean the animals, and not a specific movie or book series (Armand gave me my first Dinotopia book as a gag gift for my birthday some time ago – surprising me that he remembered or cared at all – saying, “It’s a children’s book, because you’re a child,” and I actually loved it; the illustration is very imaginative and highly detailed). Or the live-action TV show Dinosaurs from the early ‘90s which, honestly, I still can’t decide if it’s my cup of blood or not.

Dinosaurs the animals, they’re fascinating. Omnivores, carnivores, “veggiesaurs.“ The study of other predators means a lot to me. We still have more to learn about them, some still exist today in some form. The tooth size of the T. Rex is nearly unbelievable, even when I held one in my hand. I admit I was a little envious bc my own fangs are quite small in comparison, but mine are much sharper and more elegant than a T. Rex’s, being that they’re for a similar, but different, physical use *grins*

Jurassic Park is a film Louis and I can watch over and over, even though it’s given him a few choice quotes to use against me *grumbles*

For the anon who was asking about the musical, I’d also totally recommend another recording (it’s called “Drew Tatsel [COMBINED]” on youtube) which has the actor who played Armand taking over the role of Lestat. He doesn’t look the part as much, but I’d suggest it if only for the fact that it’s later in the run, and they have Lestat’s transformation scene (and some other things) down much better, some really awesome stuff :)

Thank u ^,….,^ Now I have to watch all 3 and compare. Why can’t they just put cameras in and film it professionally and sell the copies to ppl it would be so much better for everyone *siiiiigh*

Here it is:

Power outages are homophobic [X]

Do you know where I can watch the Lestat musical? There are clips on YouTube but I can’t find a good quality of the whole show.

DO I HAVE SMTG FOR U? Yes, yes I do. (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:✧

The quality isn’t that hot but this here’s the entire show (pssst download them just in case they gets taken down!):

Opening night on Broadway, NYC, version:

San Francisco version:

I gotta watch the SF version bc I saw the NYC version and it was apparently stripped of alot of the awesome that the SF version had, sadly, and that’s one of the reasons ppl suggest for why it was so short-lived ;A;

UPDATE: @rookhart​ suggested I add this video “which has the actor who played Armand taking over the role of Lestat. He doesn’t look the part as much, but I’d suggest it if only for the fact that it’s later in the run, and they have Lestat’s transformation scene (and some other things) down much better, some really awesome stuff :)”

If anyone out there has a better quality vid, plz reblog and share w/ the class ^,….,^

Ya might also like my #Lestat the Musical tag, which has costume designs and fanart and stuff specific to the musical. 

Hey, I saw your post about songs that remind you about VC. The song “Stage 4 Fear of Trying” by Frank Iero andthe Cellabration always reminds me of Lestat and Gabrielle. And even if you don’t get that vibe from the song i still recommend it :)

Oh wow… VERY MUCH AGREED #MY HEART #CRIES FOREVER

“Though I’ve traveled far
I’ve been back to the start
And I found some scars in places I have never shown to anyone
I don’t know why it took so long to get back home”

@i-want-my-iwtv Thought you and the rest of the fandom might want to see this, about 4/5 down from the new interview!
Director Josh Boone basically just confirmed himself (instead of the other source I had earlier) that the new film WILL be an adaption of The Vampire Lestat, but will have tiny bits of influence from other books (I’m assuming he means IWTV and QTD). He also said he’s aiming for a trilogy AND a spin-off tv series! Super exciting!

THANK U @firelight-fading A+ REPORTING!

Your synopsis was gr9, but I must have it from his own words (my highlights):

image

I trust this man. Why? It appear that he’s not rushing into it to make the $$$, he’s doing it bc he respects and has affection for the source material, dating back from his youth. “These were hugely inspiring books when I was young. They really helped shape me the same way [Stephen King]’s books did.”

He is totally in the VC fandom, an honorary member. He just may not know it yet ;]

LOOKIT THE WAY HE TAGGED UP THE STAND TO PREP IT FOR ADAPTATION THAT IS SOME SERIOUS FAN LOVIN’ [X]

image

^He’s gonna take care of us similarly ❤ 

Reasons (in no particular order) why I trust Josh Boone w/ this adaptation, from his IG account:

Hit the jump.

image

^Mentions the VC in his IG caption. It would appear that he’s honored to be part of it! Also he shares his icon pic w/ Stephen King, and really, Stephen King is also one of my faves for his amazing storytelling abilities, I mean, I just don’t even have words for what he does, but he seems to come from a similar place that AR did, they were both steeped in the horror media of their youth and he alchemizes through his own unique filter and GOLD COMES OUT. A different flavor of gold than AR’s, for sure, but they are comparable. 

image

^He collects the old industry magazines, old publicity from the time period. He keeps himself updated on horror movie FX and topics so he’s not just gonna give us some shitty 90′s eye makeup, slap on a pair of fangs and a wierd accent and expect us to swoon. LIKE SOME MOVIES HAVE DONE.

 ^Like seriously he takes care of his books, and he has the nice hardcover editions.

Daddy/daughter sci fi movie night too cute. TOO CUTE. E.T. is worth 50+ viewings, absolutely.

Gonna restrain myself from suggesting he cast his adorable daughter as Claudia. But if he wanted to do it, I would certainly not stand in his way.

image

^Also I think that’s a

Jeffrey Alan Love illustration. Gruesome. I love it.

image

^BROKEBACK. HE IS NOT SCARED OF M/M. Give it to us, Mr. Boone. We can handle it. We’ve been writing fanfic of it for 30+ yrs. 

image

^His list of fave movies includes alot of great ones. Also pleased w/ his director crushes.

Did you really make it through this whole post?? NICE.

Ooc: Just a little moment to appreciate that Thor told Loki “Shut up, Loki” in Thor 2 and I died bc VC reference

YEP was very amusing, even as an unintentional reference. This scene was SO Louis/Lestat. I bet you all know who would be who…

^Thor’s was good, but Lestat’s “Shut up!“ is better. To be fair, Thor hasn’t been pushed far enough in that scene for that level of reaction yet.

Would have liked Lestat to try more of Thor’s physical kind of silencing, tho sorry this was the best gif of this I could find and I searched for AGES but there are better ones out there I’m sure:

image

Bonus: Outtake from that Thor scene where he is also being rather Lestatuesque:

PRESS IT GENTLY, THOR.  (╯°A°）╯︵ ┻━┻
