How do you feel, knowing that Lestat turned his back on you? And what of his attempt to have a fledgling to replace you, since you were gone? You and Louis have much in common and I’m sure you’ve noticed it already, but do you think he did a nice job as a replacement? They are still together after all…
My heartfelt congratulations and sympathies to anyone who feels they can put up with Lestat for a lifetime or longer.
Am I the only one who actually liked Tom Cruise as Lestat..? I see a lot of people in the fandom claiming Townsend did much better and I don’t see it—at all. I honestly hated Townsend as Lestat, all he did was sit pretty…
The short answer is that I think the majority of the VC fandom preferred Cruise ;D
Compare:
A) Cruise was Lestat. Even in this production still he was Lestat.
B) Townsend going for like bratty!Lestat:
(by textsfromthevampire ^This meme actually works in reference to Lestat and Stuart Townsend AS Lestat.)
The long answer is:
I didn’t hate Townsend. I don’t like to throw hate on actors for their acting (except James Franco, lol). I’d say ST did the best he could with what he was given. His failure as Lestat was a group effort (makeup, costume, script writer, dialogue coach, director, editor, sfx, etc. all had a hand in what we got on the screen) much as Cruise’s success was a group effort (wherein all those things previously mentioned came together so perfectly).
The actor is one part of the machine in creating that character. The failure or success of the character can ultimately be placed on the director since s/he’s the one who coordinates and makes all the aesthetic choices for the entire film.
wut you havent watched tqotd lol i wish i hadnt (no matter how bad you think it is, it’s way worse and it cannot be unseen) (although the adult beverages will help) i just thought you would have watched it
LADY I HAVE TRIED to watch it. It’s on lots of channels every Halloween, not that it’s a particularly Halloween-y movie, I guess vampires=Halloween enough for the people who choose what movies to play when.
I have seen alot of it just flipping channels in Octobers, and it just… YOU clearly know that it’s a trainwreck. We all know. It’s the movie I immediately cite when someone asks me what the worst movie is. Siiiigh.
Textsfromthevampire Does good stuff with it, tho.
