#why are you confused here#you with all your wisdom should know what Lestat’s doing with that Violin#You’re like the most paranoid vampire of the bunch#how#the hell#did you not see this coming
#i’m literally reblogging for the commentary#vampire chronicles
I can hardly bear to watch this movie but this commentary is very accurate so I’m on board and #i’m literally reblogging for the commentary, too.
Sometimes I wonder why there’s not tons and tons of VC crack!fic and then I remember that large portions of the book are basically crack!fic
#seriously though
#remember that time lestat got louis some hookers to eat as an apology for being a douche
#remember that time armand stole someone’s hands as punishment
#remember that time lestat took louis to go terrorize and old man and then buy louis a coat
#remember that time david broke into lestat and louis’ house and demanded they go to the carnival
#remember that time lestat mentioned he could laugh at carpet for hours on end
#remember that time marius sent armand on fieldtrips to local brothels
#remember that time louis said he was feeling suicidal so david proposed vampire sex and made out with him
#remember that time tarquin got a handjob from his dead demonic twin brother he ate in utero
#remember that time armand thought marius was jesus and then marius gave him a handjob
#REMEMBER BLOOD CANTICLE IN ITS ENTIRETY
#does it make it harder or easier to write crack when your fandom is canonically this cracky
#its a moot point since theres so few vc fics anyway
#generally homosexual

#also remember that one time lestat had sex with a nun and ate a chick out on her period in front of david and armand
#and that one time armand would make daniel have sex with random people so he could watch from the corner
#or that time pandora told marius that his vampire gift should have give him a bigger penis rather than a bigger ego
#what a wonderful series

I just laughed really obnoxiously oh my fucking god those tags.
Blood Canticle is just something I pretended didn’t happen though omfg it was so, so, so bad. it was a bad crack fic in itself omfg
#the vampire chronicles #this fucking series man oh my god
Cloudsinvenice added:
Guys, it is a crime and a sin that the reblog process has cut off the entire tag list, because the canon in the VC is far weirder than the crack in most other fandoms. Seriously, go read the whole thing in its surreal beauty.
#what happens in venice stays in venice #vampire chronicles #handjobs are the vampire handshake #apparently
demonpyromaniac added:
We all like to pretend that didn’t happen. It wasn’t even a bad crack fic that was hilariously bad either.
#crack #blood canticle #that book was so bad omg
[[Clouds, I had to restore this fabulous thread in its surreal beauty bc the link u had was broken. i didn’t include tags from reblogs w/out comments, but whatever, this was WELL WORTH THE EFFORT]]
#ACCURATE #Reblogging for the tags and comments. #This is definitely one of my All Time Favorite VC discussion posts ever and I’m not even part of it. #bc it is Perfection

I had a crush on Tom Cruise because of this movie.
(Unfortunate decisions by tall brunettes! I feel you Katie Holmes.)
But look, I couldn’t help it. Lestat wasn’t just a snarky blond bisexual vampire who treated sacred vampire laws as skittles in the bowling alley of his life.
(VAMPIRE ELDERS: We claw our way from the grave promptly at—
LESTAT: What up, just out of my bed of silk and velvet. LADIES, THINK ABOUT SHOWERS.
VAMPIRE ELDERS: Here is the throne room of the king and queen of all vampires, preserved in silent immortality. Gaze upon them from a reverent distance.
LESTAT: I just made out with the vampire queen’s face.
VAMPIRE ELDERS: All vampires must be anonymous. Keep us secret, keep us safe.
LESTAT: I’ve become a rock star!!!)
He was also, as we see in this very gif set, an astute critic of the problem of vampire literature.
Lestat is, in many ways, basically an eternal teenager* (he’s like 20 but he totally was.)
Vampire Elders: DO NOT DO THIS ONE THING ABOVE ALL.
Lestat: *does it* *DOES IT BIGGER*
Louis: Don’t you think maybe you shouldn’t do that….
LESTAT: *DOES IT IN YOUR FACE ON MTV* *DOES IT AND MAKES IT COOL*
Louis: *sigh*
These books were my childhood. In retrospect, that probably explains a lot about me.
*I mean that in the best way. Teenagers are awesome and trying to figure out themselves and the world, and Lestat was the same way.

So this production still of Lestat appears to have been taken at the Pointe du Lac cemetery… why do I care, Idek!! But then, Lestat’s wearing the shirt from the “You. Are. A. KILLER. LOUIS!” scene… at any rate, that setup led to the shot that eventually became part of the film poster.
However, the scene of Claudia and Louis at that bench wasn’t in the film. What I would give for cut scenes…. siiighhh…

The Pointe du Lac ‘tombs’ were part of the set built in Lafayette Cemetery in the Garden District of New Orleans. I suppose the pic of Lestat in the pooffy shirt and the Claudia and Louis in Jackson Square were publicity photos.
Ah, merci for the info!
#this movie is my childhood, #seriously i wanted to see in theaters but i was 12, #and my grandma read an article about some guy who stabbed his wife after seeing it, #so i wasn’t allowed, #but my mom let me read the book, #tom cruise is so good in this movie, #also i always wanted a mustang like that, #thanks movie, #interview with the vampire,
WOW reblogging for the notes. I can so relate, bc I was also under 17 in 1994. I had to sneak off to a friend’s house to watch it when it came out on VHS later. Would LOVE to see it in the theatre, I hope they do something special (at LEAST a theatrical re-release!) in Nov. 2014 (the 20 yr anniversary!)
WTF, some guy who stabbed his wife after seeing it?? What’s that about?
Dude walking out of IWTV: “Well after all that hot man-on-man vampire action, I think I’m gonna get rid of my wife. Finally freeing me up for homosexuality. YES. This is a GREAT IDEA.”
