I hope it's true and they're actually LARPing. The idea of ex-World of Darkness roleplayers moving away from Lestat-style vamps and towards Colin Robinson-style vampirism is

Also the show is very funny and the actors are very funny but to me it is even funnier that Nandor is just like, this random Persian uncle vampire His mannerisms and accent and the way he says fahking guy are all peak Persian uncle. His ghost also spoke entirely in Farsi and the joke that his horse Jahan is now just John after 200 years living in New York is too good The way he drops into the hard Q and heavy D in Al Qalnadar makes me laugh every time

Mr Boods had never seen (nor read) Interview with the Vampire which is currently running on BBC iPlayer. Thus, I chose it as our Sunday night film. I haven't seen it in years, and Tom Cruise is still an awful choice for Lestat. But it was great experiencing it with Mr Boods, especially with him commentary. 'What, wait is this where they got the idea for the Theatre des Vampires?' and 'Ha ha, since they killed the vampire, they should have a vampiric counsel -- shhhiitttt OFF! I thought it was a joke!' &c. Also the fact that he didn't recognise Christian Slater and was genuinely, 'Wait, HE was in the film?' (This happens all the time -- he didn't recognise Tom Cruise, fair enough, but yeah. It's what I live with). Anyway, naff film in many ways, but it will enrich our next run through WWDitS

I watched IWTV a few months ago because it was going to be featured on one of my favorite podcasts (Two Old Queens) and I was astonished how bad it was. Everything was so silly, and Brad Pitt's character was just awful. KDunst saved it.

That movie is stone cold Good, IMO. Its main problem is being 90s as gently caress, but I certainly think it adds to the charm.

Something about Haley Joel Osment’s zombie yelling “High Five!” while beating Guillermo over the head with his detached arm will never not be funny to me.

I haven't watched it in years so maybe I'd dislike it now, but I loved Interview with the Vampire and thought it was another example of just how good Tom Cruise can be when he plays a horrific monster of a man instead of trying to be the eternally youthful heroic leading man. Anyway, it gave us Antonio Banderas as a vampire which in turn gave us Guillermo, so it can't be bad.

Speaking of campy vampire poo poo there's a 3 part Dracula movie on Netflix that's pretty terribly bad. Only watch the first part imo, the ending of the trilogy is exceptionally dumb. I sincerely asked myself more than once 'am I meant to be taking this seriously?'

The ending of that Netflix Dracula is Dracula realizing all his fears are just in his head and sunlight doesn't hurt him and crosses don't burn him and now he gets to live a normal day walking life in London partying forever. But the true curse is his immortality! The end. It felt like a real gently caress you to the audience. Another Bill fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Aug 14, 2020 |

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Wait, does Dracula still kill and eat people in the miniseries? Is he just allowed to keep killing and eating people? Indeed he does. Literally the only vaguely interesting idea the show has is that he also absorbs some of the memories and potentially character traits of the people he eats (at one point he needs to speak german to seduce an old lady, so just chows down on a german cabin boy) and has this thing where he's trying to be a connosiour of people, only eating the best and most interesting (i.e. posh) people.

Dolly Wells is pretty good in the series, I wouldn't mind seeing her character get a miniseries. And in Dracula's defense it's mostly the third episode that is complete poo poo, before that it is a pretty good adaptation.
