“Earlier this month, Anne Rice fans had reason to rejoice as Universal Pictures scooped up the rights to the entirety of the author’s Vampire Chronicles . Now is seems plans to resurrect this forgotten franchise are heating up with rumors of a writer-director being hired.”
The Lestat Movie Is Definitely Happening, But Who Will Direct?
Claudia by Ashley Marie Witter
nameless-traveler recently posted concerns that “The Obama administration announced that it will be bringing back a piece of SOPA legislation that would make streaming copyrighted material a felony” and linked to a petition against SOPA at …
(Can everyone calm down now please?)
But this post was from last year. How do we know that this one is legit for this year?
Great question! You can always check the EFF.org website’s searchbox and filter for the current year.
If the link doesn’t work, manually go to http://eff.org and do a search from there.
There are a few articles but none (on March 12, 2014) discuss anything imminent before the US Congress. (And Harry Reid, leader of the Senate, is unenthused by the current TPP drafts).
In other words, guys: PLEASE DO NOT PANIC. Nothing new is happening!
Just to followup on my previous SOPA spamming. Apologies. Wanted to share my relief *u*
TheSOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) bill has resurfaced and is once again trying to be passed.
The link attached will take you to a petition. Unless this petition reaches 100,000signatures by next week, this will happen:
- All websites containing media that refers to or is owned by a company that hasn’t given its permission for the media to be displayed can and will be shut down. This means sites such as Tumblr, Wattpad, Pinterist, fanfiction.com.
- People who post such media can and will be fined, with a maximum sentence of five years in prison. This includes, but is not limited to, people who own/post the following: fanfiction, fan art, roleplay blogs, fan blogs/accounts and movie streaming sites.
“The legislation would allow copyright holders and the Justice Department to seek court orders against websites associated with copyright infringement. SOPA, the House version, applies to both domestic and foreign websites, while PIPA targets foreign websites. If that court order is granted, the entire website would be taken down. Internet users who typed in the site’s URL address would receive an error message, and for all appearances, the site would never have existed. Importantly, the court does not need to hear a defense from the actual website before issuing its ruling. The entire website can be condemned without a trial or even a traditional court hearing.”
This is not a joke.
This is real.We need 100,000 signatures by next week. Make one of them yours, or all these things that make you happy will disappear.
THIS ONLY TAKES 5 MINUTES TO DO, I TIMED IT.
Sorry to post smtg non-VC but it threatens i-want-my-iwtv! Don’t you love VC fanart/fanfic, and my VC memeythings? And RPers? Please help. I won’t beg for reblogging, but that’d be nice, too *u*
Don’t think “Oh, someone else will bother with this.” You’re the someone else 😦
92,214 signatures still needed after I signed it.
Here’s a Lestat for a little
demotivation. I won’t be able to share these anymore if SOPA passes *cries*
Sorry to do this again… we still need 60,000+ sigs by 3/19/14!!! D:
I even drew smtg on it to make it slightly less annoying.

Martin Rolinski as Lestat? Yes. This pose is selling me. I forgot if I’ve already posted this, but whatever, it’s worth repost.
It inspired this, too:
Louis de Pointe du Lac.
I don’t get it.
Um, it didn’t translate perfectly, it was funny at the time, but I translate it to mean: the version of Louis in IWTV wasn’t as comfortable as he was in later incarnations, re: his intimacy level with Lestat. In IWTV I think Louis did try to calculate every mannerism so as not to suggest homosexuality, to try to keep some personal space from Lestat. Hence the “The more you tried [to resist me], the more I wanted you,” line.
But it often backfired, and the personal space was invaded, he would give in to all those feelings for Lestat that he sought so hard to repress, and then enjoy the vampire equivalent of “getting laid.”
So it’s not actually very funny when picked apart like that, but does that make sense?
