#and unironically it’s the most important thing he ever did in his life

I may be in the minority here, but I honestly think IWTV and TVL were adapted really well.

When I first read Interview with the Vampire, I remember thinking, wow, this is depressing, heartfelt, and deeply sentimental. Then I read The Vampire Lestat and thought, wow, this is vain, performative, and absolutely dripping with yearning without ever actually saying “I yearn.”

I think the show ended exactly where it was supposed to. It leaves us asking questions and feeling like there are pieces missing from the narrative, just like the books do. That’s part of the point.

The characters are all vicious, lonely, traumatized, and completely fucked up. They’re people, but they also aren’t anymore. The ideas of “good” and “bad” don’t really apply to them because they’ve lost their humanity. They’re dead.

The only thing I wish we’d gotten more of is Daniel and Armand, but they’re barely in The Vampire Lestat anyway. Their story really belongs to Queen of the Damned, so I can’t exactly be mad about that.

If you’re bashing a show you once claimed to love because of its nuance and layers, maybe what you actually loved was the aesthetic of New Orleans and Paris, not the story it was telling.

So apparently, over the summer, Quibi (the shortest-lasting streaming service ever lmao) did a quarantine project called “Home Movie: The Princess Bride” where a bunch of celebrities recreated The Princess Bride in tiny chunks at home.

And like there was no permanent cast, all these celebrities seem to have gotten a scene or part of a scene to do (i’m not sure exactly, I did not ever watch Quibi and thus haven’t seen this yet), and then they just… recreated it as best they could. At home. Under quarantine.

So like, you had Jennifer Garner in a blanket cape playing Princess Buttercup AND the Booing Old Woman with a crowd comprised entirely of stuffed animals:

Or Taika Waititi paying Westley off a badly-drawn Inigo on a piece of cardboard held in front of someone’s face:

And it’s all just delightful.

But my absolute favorite part of this thing that I’ve sadly never seen but assume is probably absolutely hilarious and a treasure and I want to find it some day and watch the whole thing… is that Carey Elwes is in it.

As Prince Fucking Humperdink.

In case you need a comfort watch and because Youtube search nowadays sucks rancid farts, I remind you of the Princess Bride Home Movie from the lockdown, starring everybody

Lestat at the long table, taking in his failures, his fledglings, his worst traumas and immediately asking "where's claudia" with a slight smile on his face and some pep in his step like yeah, that's his worst failure so far, that's his prodigy, that's his baby girl

I do understand the appeal of voicing your disgust with something you don’t like but literally millions of other people love. I absolutely do, because do you know how had it is to live every day with the dislike I have for that one band from Liverpool that had inspired so many other (much better) bands and artists, and not constantly scream into the void about it?

I make one little comment in the 16 odd years I’ve been on this site and I still get people trying to argue with me. You’re not going to change my mind about this- I’m literally British. I have grown up with people (not my immediate family but school and college and work and prior relationships) trying to make me “see reason”.

This is an opinion. It’s a feeling. It’s not a fact to be argued over.

They could never make me hate you, complex female character whose reaction to trauma was not pretty and digestible like how people think it should be.
