That scene from what we do in the shadows but I had to change it slightly because I know Daniel wouldn't have said "it doesn't make a difference" he was gonna make a joke, but Armand interrupted him. Just look at his "are you hearing this shit" look in the first panel.
71-year-old pulitzer finalist Eric Bogosian being on tiktok is already funny but 'toxic old man yaoi' being in the center of this post and the only one he liked is killing me
Next thing you know he’ll be like Michael Sheen, speaking out publicly about how much he loves fanfiction ESPECIALLY the ones where he fucks his costars😂😂😂
daniels vampire era makes me laugh a little bit. imagine if everyone thought you were having the three quarter life crisis of all time and that you’re a sugar daddy to some guy who’s younger than your daughters, and also you’re the crazy guy who might be on drugs again and thinks he got bit by vampires. but actually you just got turned into a vampire and the “sugar baby” is actually 514 years old and richer than you. but how are you gonna explain that to your daughters at the intervention?? you can’t.
Not only that, everyone expect your health to deteriorate and the shaking to become worse but then suddenly you’re healthier than anyone, can move with no problems, all your health problems are gone and you can’t go to the doctors because you got miraculously healed. How do u explain that? 😂
I’m watching Netflix’s One piece for the first time and …. Buggy is 😏😏🙇♀️🙇♀️ Why did no one told me so many actors in this are so freaking good looking 😅
As a booktoker, I just had to use the quote from s2e8 of Interview with the vampire when Daniel says ‘it’s a great fucking read and you’re a hag/hack (is that how u write it?)’ , it’s genuinely one of my favourite quotes 😂
I’m not sure who’s the creator of this remix but I’d love to give them a shout out for making this 🥰
ok so i promised you a rant on Eric Bogosian, and i pinky promise i'll try to keep the story short (those beautiful people i've already privately spewed my fascination at deserve peace and love 💜)
TL;DR: Eric Bogosian is a good researcher and judge of human nature, which honestly shouldn't be surprising given his experience, links below
it is easy to google Eric (i'll call him that not out of disrespect, it's just shorter) and get to a conclusion he's just a slightly awkward old man who had extremely weird youth and gives off a powerful bi vibe just for shits and giggles; which is fair, given the wild way he handles most interviews
but hear me out, i'm not an expert, i'm just a book kind of girl. so i sought out the books, and into the books i looked.
back in 1988 he was nominated for Pulitzer's for his "Talk Radio", and i count that as one of the first cases of him using a real story to weave a (semi)fictional one. it is a powerful play, and a gut-punching movie, but I am mentioning it not because of its ehhh artistic value. in my book, it's a proof of the way he tends to critically re-imagine the things he sees and analyses.
keep that in mind when you google his "Operation 'Nemesis".
he initially started looking into the history of Armenian genocide as into the material worth developing into a plot for a movie. but, in his own words, and i quote, "I wrote this book because I had no choice. The Nemesis story required more attention than a simple screenplay."
he is still not a scientist, mind that - and his book reads as a work of fiction. say, there's no way one can look into the head of a deceased person and know their feelings, but one can guess; and Eric guesses, of course. but the fun part is that he makes educated guesses. nearly for each presumption there's a source. a footnote. a quote.
what really strikes me is that he looked into ONE plot line and fished out a complex slice of history, dripping with CONTEXT. White Russian emigration? it's in there. early stages of oil industry? check. the colourful background of Europe in early XX century? all there.
there's no wonder he spent seven years on this book.
i repeat: SEVEN. YEARS.
call me sapiosexual, but that was the moment when i stopped and thought: ok, THIS IS HOT.
what also impresses me is the way he speaks of his past. he admits he's done wild shit, and adds that the best part was the moment he understood he didn't need to be high to be creative. it's the underlying power of "yeah, been there, got better, SO CAN YOU" that gets me.
to keep things short, i'm adding links:
here's a vid where he speaks of the book on Armenian genocide (i had personal reasons to tear up a bit while listening, ngl)
and here's a vid where he speaks of acting, writing, and improv, that basically broke my art block, for which i am going to be grateful for fucking ever, i guess
(if you got to this point of my rant, you deserve a hug and a respectful kiss on the mouth if you're ok with that. go have a lovely day 💜)
"daniel did make the rent boy comment when armand was posing as rashid so anything he might have known about armand at that point was mind wiped back in the 70s btw"
don't really get what anon is trying to say here. the issue is that daniel shouldn't have been making that kind of comment at all about someone he doesn't know. but he sure felt comfortable with calling a brown person a prostitute for his boss for no reason. and after finding out about armand's history of being sexually assaulted, did not once express any remorse or apologize either. why are we still making excuses for this?
True, he shouldn’t have said that but we’re talking here about a man who asked a ‘dad’ about the details of his daughter’s SA. This is a man who fucked up two daughters and two marriages and doesn’t care about anything other than getting the story. Daniel is just not a good person, I would argue he’s worse than some of the vamps in a way that he doesn’t care about the consequences of him ‘digging deep to get the story’ and the people he hurts on the way.
The only thing I can think of that may save his face about saying ‘save it for the rent boy’ is that he wanted to say something outrageous to annoy Louis. I think everything he says is made to trigger a reaction from someone.
Also, I wonder if Daniel perceived Rashid at that moment as a ‘blood’ whore. I mean Rashid’s (Armands) relationship with Louis was weird from the start and we could see Daniel saw they were closer than they made it seem.
Anyway, I’m not trying to say rent boy comment is okay I’m just saying Daniel Molloy is a shitty person and I wonder if he said it on purpose.
