Inside The Vampire Lestat’s Brilliant Production Design

Blood farms and custom guitars: TVL production designer Andres Cubillan shares insights into the season’s most memorable setpieces.

As Lestat’s childhood flashbacks move through his adolescence to young adulthood, we’re given hint after hint that the family has fallen on hard times, mirrored by his father’s increasing infirmity, and the rest of his family succumbing to various illnesses. “We see less staff in the house,” production designer Andres Cubillan explains. “We see the food getting simpler. Even the china on the table. We go from a very sort of elaborate multi-piece setting, you know, crystal glassware, silverware, and that starts getting reduced. So you start feeling like they’re really impoverished in their sort of ridiculous aristocracy.”

“They’re not going to give [Lestat] some large bedroom. It’s going to be sort of awkward in size. I’ve spoken about the tile floor and the fact that it’s a material that would have been used for servants’ quarters or kitchens.” Lestat is a second-class citizen in his own home, and the images decorating his walls make a further statement about the violent undercurrents of his childhood. “The mural work on the walls, it was a play on the tropes of little boys’ rooms—the trains and the boats, and that heteronormative ideal for a little boys’ room in that era.” But instead of boats or scenes of boyhood adventures, Lestat’s bed is surrounded by “images of war and massacres and conquests,” creating a nightmarish backdrop to the only private space he has in the house.

"sex is real" is a very funny thing to say to a group of people who very famously change their sex on purpose

[mousidy]

in abandoning discussion of the nuances of sex in trans discourse, we've ironically let bioessentialist, binaristic thinking fester and rot out our communities

we've stopped actually challenging the binary, we just slapped "amab" and "afab" over "male" and "female," and we treat transition itself like a mere act of dressup. we let blatant transphobia run rampant all the time as long as people call each other "amab" and "afab" instead of misgendering them directly

"afab bodies," "amab energy," "afab only housing," "amab behavior" THIS IS TRANSPHOBIA. YOU ARE MAKING ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT PEOPLE'S BEHAVIORS AND BODIES BASED ON THEIR ASSIGNED SEX. THE WORD FOR THAT IS TRANSPHOBIA

sex does not determine your behaviors. sex is not a binary. sex can be changed, and IS changed by medical transition, INCLUDING hrt

is it even a "trans" community if we don't hold these things to be true? how can a community of trans people who bind each other to their agabs like the rest of the world does be called a trans community? come the fuck on

It has come to my attention that some of you have not actually seen the music video for Ghengis Khan by Miike Snow so I’ve taken it on myself to end your ignorance of this piece of cinema

[milf-adjacent]

The greatest cinematic experience of 2016, weren’t you watching?

Remember when you were a kid and you’d be playing Rock, Paper, Scissors and some other annoying kid would think they were being sooo clever by yelling “BOMB” to end the game?

That’s Good Omens 3 to me, and specifically the Book of Life plot device and The Decision to end everything.

Rather than engage with the pre-existing rules and tone of the game, the writers of GO3 threw in a last-minute destructive plot device in service of a philosophical conclusion that made the whole conceit collapse. Oh, you liked the rock-paper-scissors worldbuilding? Lmao, well, it’s all bombed now, NERD!

Yes, it’s a made-up silly game. You can subvert expectations if you want, sure. But you’re still an asshole for derailing the assumptions of good faith everyone else was bringing to the game. People don’t like it when you defy established rules just because you want to win and feel superior.

Throwing in a game-breaking move that doesn’t fit the tone of the situation isn’t clever. Ruining the game for everyone else isn’t kind.

Sometimes it’s more fun for everyone if you use the parameters of the existing fantasy to solve the problem at hand, rather than just blowing the fantasy apart.

Hog 201 for anyone interested in trying this:

Bodily autonomy (like abortion, anti draft, etc) -> “The government shouldn’t be able to force anything on my body I don’t want.”

Anti surveillance -> “I don’t trust big government/big tech (big brother if you’re feeling frisky) with the ability to spy on me and my family.”

Immigration -> “Next to all of us immigrated at some point, I don’t see why the elites get to decide who’s allowed to be where. What’s to stop them coming for me?”

Climate Change -> “Big oil shouldn’t get to determine whether or not I get to go places. I don’t want to be dependent on some big business to survive.”

State Violence -> “I don’t want the goddamn secret police breathing down my neck! I trust my community a whole hell of a lot more to help me than I do the state!”

The vast majority of conservatives think of themselves as underdogs being repressed by the government/the elite, and they value personal freedom (specifically their personal freedom, they don’t care about other people). The will almost always agree with leftist points if you can find a way to blame the problem on their vague enemies (useful, since rich people are the root of most problems), and tie it back to their ability to say fuck everyone else. NEVER appeal to science, theory, logic, or human goodness. Make it seem as if you are a paranoid lunatic who trusts no one. They love it.

#you need to tailor your arguments to people's existing values and priorities if you want to convince them #the flip side is that it's every bit as easy to tailor conservative arguments to convince a leftist audience #so don't get smug #you're not immune to this either <- prev extremely true

I saw a post about Shane and Ilya being sad that they can't thank each other in their acceptance speeches like other can with their spouses and it got me thinking:

Ilya wins his first awards and hes got nobody he really wants to thank after his team and coach cause he he hates his family but he knows his speech is too short so on impulse he goes "And I want to thank Shane Hollander for being slightly worse than me this season". Everyone knows it was going to one of those two, so everyone thinks hes an asshole to say that but whats new so it works for him. But from then on it then becomes a bit for both of them to thank each other in their speeches in a snide way as a reason they won.

Shane winning the Art Ross Trophy (Awarded to the player who leads the league in total points at the end of the regular season). and going "special thanks to Rozanov for missing at least 5 shots this season, he was a huge help"

Ilya winning the Conn Smythe Trophy (Awarded to the most valuable player for his team in the playoffs.) "Just want to give a quick shout out to Hollander for getting knocked out in the second round this season. Must hate to see me up here."

They find a way to mention the other in their speeches every time all the time.
