ooc; We had an awesome turn out for the Interview with the Vampire livestream.  For those who can stomach it, I will be livestreaming Queen of the Damned Sunday, November 23 at 4PM CST/5PM EST.  It’ll be our afternoon of comedy.

The livestream will be at my channel.  I’ll post the link again closer to time.

If you want to participate in the Skype discussion following the movie, please RSVP to me with your Skype so I can add you to the list.

I would rather have watched these outtakes than the movie, tbh.

So, further to my Anne Rice booksigning post, this little lady was there, too (that’s not her mother in the pic, but that woman had a very nice set of fangs). Akasha is 2 yrs old, and SHE REALLY LIVES UP TO THE NAME. I should’ve gotten a picture with her… I made friends with her mom so maybe there will be some day… but u have to believe me that I was holding Akasha, carrying her through the streets of NY (with her parents) and she was giving me these little smooches! It was very adorable. 

Anne Rice did not get to hold her, as Akasha was feeling kinda cranky after having to behave throughout the Q&A before the booksigning. Oh well! Anne’s loss. I’m sure she’s met other Akashas.

5 TIPS FOR THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES REBOOT

Excellent article on Nerdist about Universal wanting to reboot Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. This is my favorite part:

Plus, of all the art forms, music is the most subjective. Readers of the novels could imagine Lestat’s music sounding like anything they wanted it to; hair metal people probably thought they sounded like Mötley Crüe, while New Wave fans might have thought Lestat sounded like Bowie. Anne Rice has said that in her mind, Lestat sounded like Jim Morrison of the Doors. (For the record, as a pseudo goth kid, in my mind Lestat sounded like Peter Murphy of Bauhaus.) I’m pretty sure no one ever wanted them to sound like Korn, but that’s what we ended up with.

Lemme just give you the main points. My comments in italics.

  1. Don’t Chase The Twilight Audience: PREACH.
  2. Consider Cable Television: There are alot of TV vampire series but this one really could be unique among the rest.
  3. Use the Broadway Musical Structure: It’s worked since Ariel the Little Mermaid, and before that. It’s worked in countless movies. 
  4. Skip “Rock Star” Lestat: I think it could be handled differently than in QotD. It’s very much a part of his modern bravado. Korn was probably chosen for QotD because (I think) the lead singer had expressed interest in the project. It was also a time when Korn was among the EXPLICIT CONTENT evil corrupting-of-innocents bands of the time. 
  5. Keep Anne Rice As Part of the Creative Process: YES. Whatever you feel about her, she did a great job keeping the IWTV movie close to the source material. These ARE her precious babies, and she’s gonna make sure they’re handled with care ❤
