Anne Rice - the films

[Mike182]

P.S. Mike ~ it's Armand, with an 'a' - not an 'o'. It may seem like a small thing, but it's really bugging me.

sorry, that was a typo.... ok, maybe several typos, but still

i think Lestat's entire character is shown in a different light in interview, than it is in both lestat and QoD, because interview was Louis' perception of Lestat, and once you know Lestat's history, you realise how Louis made a few judgemental mistakes, eventhough the judgements were justified (if any of that makes sense?)

 

[Faint]

anyone else got any complaints about this film, queen of the damned?

Vampire books? Haha, you are so goth...

I never read Queen of the Damned, but nevertheless I thought the first half-hour of the movie was stupid enough to cause me to change the channel. I particularly disliked the use of John Davis (from Korn) for Lestat's singing-double. They should have contracted Peter Murphy, or what's-his-name from Sisters of Mercy to do the vocals.

Mate, you've typed it that way in every thread you've ever posted in.

That's basically what I said. I just don't think any of them looked right. :sad:

Lestat 'sang' several songs on the movie...I thought that the people who sang them on the soundtrack sang them in the movie?

Guess I didn't take that much notice when watching the movie.

I'm sorry, I'll shut up now. I'm about to go hunting to see if I can find Memnoch the Devil and The Vampire Armand. Wish me luck! :run:

Armand was there...that whispy hippy vampire boy at the end with the long blonde hair? That was supposed to be Armand.:no: Get's better. The old dude in the coat that mooched around after Maharet? That was Mael.:sarcastic Yes, he was a young blonde druid if ever I saw one.
If it weren't for Stewart Townsend in leather pants faint: )and the soundtrack, no redeeming features.
A prime example of what happens when a studio does nothing with the movie rights for seven years and then realises they're going to blow their money if they don't cobble something together in a hurry.

I managed to get Blood and Gold and Vittorio The Vampire the other day...I've already got Pandora and...something else I can't remember right now lol. But, since I want to read them in order, I'll have to wait until I can get my hands on Memnoch before I can continue. :sad: QTR informs me she has Armand, so that's one less to look for.
