I thought this was a dead meat /: I’ll take my leave

I am listening to this podcast now and lemme tell ya...Myrick is an unbearable character I have come to loathe as time goes on in this series...At first he was all cool whooping AZZ and ish...YEAH!!!! then they had to make his character unbearable of him always being long ass winded of him speaking of his heritage and who he is the son of, Prince of blah blah blah and wouldn't; shut up!!!! Then they have him getting beat up by some fairy chick, UUHHHHH!!!! she is annoying also!!!! then he falls in love with the damn fairy....He took forever confessing his love for Alanna ( about time)...to her....The dwarf is super cool and the other vampires are cool too....The Galloway family ??? cool too...I like how they have him and alanna is subliminal sexual encounters with each other....LMFAO....too funny....all in all...I just wish they could have cut back on his damn SIGHING EVERY DAMN SECOND!!!!!!! AND HIS LONG ASS WINDED SPEECHES TOO!!!!

Whenever I hear Lestalt in interview with the vampire saying to Louis: "it's like wine", I think to myself, it also looks like hibiscus tea (we call it water of Jamaica), it's more common in Latin America, but we do not serve it as tea, it's a beverage for summer days to drink along a supper or a dinner, it's refreshing and it's also red, so in my head canon, I laugh imagining a vampire comparing blood with hibiscus tea 😂

I know this video is three years old but would love to see you cover the rest of the series! 💙

Funnily enough there actually is a thirtieth cape. It's on a swinging trap with a dummy Strahd on it. Jumpscare!

Great review! We love this one too! Come check out are deep dive podcast on this awesome movie!

Aaliyah died in a plane crash shortly after principal photography was completed but had not yet actually performed any ADR redubbing for her character. Michael Rymer called in Aaliyah's brother, Rashad Haughton, to help with overdubbing her voice following her death due to their similar voices, special vocal technology was also used to make his voice sound more feminine. Aaliyah was the first actor to be cast for the film. She was enthusiastic about taking the role due to her fascination with Egyptian mythology and also being a huge fan of vampire horror fiction. For the scenes of Lestat's concert in Death Valley, over 3,000 goths were recruited from Melbourne nightclubs and on the internet, then driven on a fleet of buses to a quarry in Werribee to act as extras. The singing voice of Lestat was supplied by Jonathan Davis of Korn. However due to contractual difficulties, Davis could not sing on the soundtrack album release. The five songs written by he and Richard Gibbs for the movie were then performed on the album by Marilyn Manson, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, David Draiman of Disturbed, Wayne Static of Static-X and Jay Gordon of Orgy. Davis was still allowed to play several instruments on the album. Stuart Townsend took the role of Lestat after originally being cast as Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) but was recast with Viggo Mortensen after four days of shooting because the filmmakers realized he was too young for the role. Stuart Townsend shares his name with a character from another Anne Rice novel, "The Witching Hour". Upon meeting Townsend, Rice handed him a copy of the book and instructed him to turn to a certain page number, whereupon was written "The Life of Stuart Townsend". Townsend was flattered that she had written him into her new book, until she told him that she had written it eleven years prior. The architecture of Aunt Maharet's house is based upon Angkor Wat, the stone temple located in Siem Reap, Cambodia. On the casting of Stuart Townsend as Lestat, Anne Rice stated "Everything I hear about the movie is good. Warner Bros. is extremely enthusiastic. They are working very hard to make it perfect. I have no real news. Let me repeat what I mentioned in a recent message. I met Stuart Townsend, the young man who is playing Lestat and he was absolutely charming. He had Lestat's excellent speaking voice and his feline grace. I cannot wait to see him in the film". Author of the novel Anne Rice considers this to be a terrible disappointment for her and for many of the readers as she believed it mutilated her own work. According to director Michael Rymer, all of the dialogue said by Jonathan Davis in his cameo as the ticket scalper who Jesse ( Marguerite Moreau ) runs into was all improvised on the spot and the amused reaction by Moreau is noticeably genuine. The film was posthumously released only 6 months after Aaliyah's death. The film is dedicated to her memory According to the time line from this film, Lestat was turned into a vampire in 1788. Louis states at the beginning of Interview with the Vampire (1994), that Lestat turned him in 1791, meaning Lestat had only been a vampire around three years before creating his new companion. Josh Hartnett, Heath Ledger, and Wes Bentley were all considered to replace Tom Cruise as Lestat after he declined to reprise his role. The concert scenes are set in Death Valley, California, but were actually filmed in Werribee, Australia. According to the director's commentary, the scene in which Marius ( Vincent Perez ) confronts David ( Paul McGann ) at the concert (at 1:05:30) saying, "Hello David," and then vanishing behind two passing people wasn't a special effect and was in fact Perez ducking out of the way. Aaliyah's second (and last) feature film following her role in Romeo Must Die (2000). The blood that Akasha has in her mouth is really cherry juice. The moment during the concert in Death Valley where the audience sings along with Lestat in ""Slept so long" was the extras' natural reaction and had not been planned by the filmmakers. While shooting the sequence, the extras had memorized the lyrics during the takes and had excitedly contributed by singing along, which pleasantly surprised director Michael Rymer who kept the improvisation in the film. The film was a subject of controversy due to inspiring a real life murder shortly after the film's theatrical release. In December 2002, Allan Menzies from West Lothian in Scotland murdered one of his friends. He claimed in court that it was Aaliyah's character "Queen Akasha" from the film that told him to do it. Akasha never actually attacks anyone by biting their neck. She either sets them on fire, rips their heart out, or bites another area of their body. Tom Cruise was initially asked to return in the role of Lestat, but he declined. Halle Berry, Jada Pinkett Smith, Samantha Mumba, Jenna Dewan, Rosario Dawson, Vivica A. Fox and Vanessa Williams were rumored to be taking the role of Queen Akasha before Aaliyah was cast. No actors from the previous film Interview with the Vampire (1994) return to reprise their roles (not even archive footage is used). The fact that the night club "The Admiral's Arms" was a vampire bar "in the meat packing district" of London is an homage to the night club "Mother" which was a vampyre bar located in the meat packing district of New York City. The lyrics which Jesse quotes to the Talamasca concerning "The Admiral's Arms" are not in the actual song "Redeemer." This is because Jonathan Davis was adamant the song be able to stand on its own and not be tied only as a device for the movie. Singer Aimee Nash of The Black Ryder duo had a cameo as a vampire singer in the "Admiral's Arms" vampire nightclub although the majority of her footage was deleted (she is still visible in the background of the nightclub scene). Wes Bentley was originally cast as Lestat, but he dropped out. The song playing during the infamous rose petal sequence is "Change" by the rock band, Deftones, the first single off their third album. Deftones had previously appeared in and played music for The Crow: City of Angels (1996) before releasing their first album, which starred Vincent Perez in his first lead role in an American theatrical film. Aaliyah read texts by Oscar Wilde in a thick Egyptian accent during her audition which helped convince the producers to cast her. Anne Rice has stated that she has only seen the film once and does not intend to watch it again effectively meaning she has disowned the film. A scene was filmed in which Akasha takes Lestat around the world and has him bathed by two young women to show him the benefits of living like a ruler instead of hiding as a vampire which greatly affected him emotionally. However, the director considered this scene to be "too long-winded" and deleted it. Aaliyah described her character as "a bit evil but very regal." She prepared for two months to perfect her character and described it as "there was a lot to bring Akasha to life, but it was really a lot of fun." Cher auditioned for the role of Akasha. (at around 38 mins) When Jesse goes to the vampire club, the song "Excess" by Tricky can be heard playing. The song was previously used in another horror thriller called Thir13en Ghosts (2001). Actress Pia Miranda played the part of Jesse's roommate in a short scene although it was deleted during post-production (it is included on the DVD and Blu-ray release). Despite this her name still appears in the credits. Michael Petroni's first film screenplay. He would later screen-write The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010), The Rite (2011), The Book Thief (2013), and The Pope's Exorcist (2023) as well as write/create the series, Messiah (2020). The fight scene between Lestat and the vampires at the concert was originally more gruesome with footage being filmed of Lestat decapitating a vampire, showing its head rolling across the stage with blood dripping from its mouth. (at around 1h 35 mins) David (Paul McGann) says to Jesse, declining her offer, that he is too old to live forever. McGann plays another character that effectively lives forever in some fashion, the 8th Doctor on Doctor Who (2005). The image in the slideshow that Jesse shows the Talamusca which shows a human-like figure messily devouring an infant is "Saturn devouring his son," painted in 1820-23 by Spanish painter Francisco Goya, and is ironically unrelated to vampires. One of only a handful of Australian horror feature films which are vampire movies. These titles are: Thirst (1979), Bloodlust (1992), The Wicked (1987), Queen of the Damned (2002) and Daybreakers (2009). What We Do in the Shadows (2014) was from neighbouring nation New Zealand. Aaliyah gets top billing as the title character despite not appearing in the film until the 51 minute mark and having a total of 26 minutes of screen time. The moment where Lestat sternly tells David, "I think you wanted this back" while giving him his journal is Lestat reminding David that he is still alive and therefore still owns it but is allowing David to safeguard it for him since he can trust him to keep it safe in his collection. The line, "I'm much too old to live forever," that David tells Jesse at the ending is a reference to the fact that in the books, David eventually does become a vampire but only after he is magically restored to his youth. Jonathan Davis, Korn: (at around 56 mins) the composer appears as a ticket scalper trying to peddle tickets outside the concert.

Though they're both good films, I prefer Near Dark.

I mean, more than half of Hollywood is getting away with horrible shit daily and most of them is defended by the public and their pears or at least they turn a blind eye to it. I'm definitly not defending Polanski but I choose to enjoy the movies he's made despite of his crime. I also still enjoy movies like Se7en and See no evil, hear no evil or Americab Beauty even though Kevin Spacey is in them.

The soundtrack is amazing 😍

Mine was arguing with my friends that Grubs Grady was the man and that he’d f*** up Darren Shan and The Dracula from Castlvnia.

i will defend the batman forever, until the end of days. it's my favorite batman show ever! i'm sure part of that is nostolgia talking, but i still love it so much.

what if Claudia chose Madeline because she was raped by Bruce @37:51...she was afraid of being intimate spiritually and physically because of that abuse?...

My favourite books were: -The interview with the vampire -The body thief -Blood and Gold -The vampire Armand -Blackwood Farm (The rest were good but I loved those the best, not in particular order)

What’s with you and the gay shit, lol

The first two seasons were awesome, it's a very interesting new take and overall captures the feeling of the books, but it does change A LOT

Скажи мне о великий эксперт. А почему все вампиры имеют русский акцент? Это что за намёк?

1:13:53 I hope you do write that book eventually. I’d love to read it

Great movie, I hate it even though I love a lot of the elements. It's too slow, too much angst, and can't think of a single likeable character. None the less, great cinematography, good script, some good acting. It fell flat for me overall, but I wouldn't change anything.

Please make an Etsy store!!! I would buy everything in it

Piper CJ wrote a sapphic vampire novella called This Book Sucks that I would like to hear your opinion on!

wait a sec, Prince Samantha, shouldn't it be Princess??

This just unlocked a childhood memory of mine. I’m pretty sure I watched this show when it first came out, as a remember a few scenes that were shown in this video, so thank you for putting a name to a few random memories

MÅNESKIN!!!!

Imagine taking seriously your opinion when you are a white woman that says this 13:41

After watching this, i picked the first book. It was good book but i am excited for Lestat's book. Through i will admit i didnt fall in love with him until part 3 of the book

I only watched it for Casper Van Dien's character.

I liked it for what it could have been. But I feel that the writing was just horrible. A lot of the cast was over baring and overdramatic (Frank and Alexandra were the ones that grated me the most). So it never really got a chance. But, the cast (Prince Luna, Cash, and Daedalus mostly) still control things in my TT game set in San Francisco, so it definitely made an impact.

I haven't finished the series yet as I am consuming the in tandem with lives of the mayfair witches, but I will rate the books I have. My least favorite is The Vampire Armond. Next is Queen of the Damned. Interview with the Vampire. The Vampire Lestat. Memnoch the Devil. Finally, The Tale of the Body Thief is my favorite so far.

sur un site français c'est mieux en langue française

I remember watching this hoping Roman and Peter would hook up, but I guess edgelords authors draw the line at gay sex

This book is really an introduction to the premise. The next two are the high water mark in the series IMO: Dracula vs Sherlock Holmes, and the first one set in modern (1970s) Chicago. I’m up to book 6 (A matter of Taste) now

I love the reviews you’ve done for the first two seasons of ‘The Strain’ but I regret to say that I do not see anything for the 3rd and 4th seasons. Hopefully, if you made them, they weren’t removed from the platform, because your stuff is great.

You are so hot

You didn’t have to say negro you could have said man of color. Also your whole vibe about the characters in this show being POC is giving racist

The savage vampires still thematically representing corruption in the church I think could work…with a bit more logic therein. Like…have the abbot fully admit that he’s a…less than savory man of the cloth, and knows perfectly that, if he dies, he’s going to actual hell, and he wants to be a vampire to escape damnation.

55:57 i loved those books

the OotD movie is one of my favorites, a poor adaptation but fun and enthusiastic ; the music really carries for me - also, Aaliyah's Akasha was iconique ~

i think i'm in a small minority because my favorite character is Gabrielle ; i just love that she fcks off into the wilderness and only makes an appearance when the stars align 😅 Blood & Gold made me love Marius and Armand and hate Santino

What was the word louie used to describe lestats power? The athiest supernatural word

How is it I only discovered your channel yesterday?! I've been binging you since!

I loved the Marked series at the start and in high school but the main character made me mad at one point and i csnt remember which one made me stop reading them now . I am binging your collection series right now thanks to Phantom of the Opera video to which book i just finished.

13:38 Merrick

1 vampire books! Two vampire books! THREE vampire books ah ah ah

It’s been a while, but I hope we can get the last two seasons 😂

Hello, 🍂🙏What You think about this movie for christmas, pour Noël the Robert Eggers's Nosferatu ? 🙏🍂

The best part of the first movie was the abrupt plot twist - you start off thinking that Selene and the vampires are righteous because they're better defined for the audience as individuals, whereas the Lycans are largely just a faceless horde. It takes a complete outsider, Michael, to point out that most vampires aren't certain about the history of the war because their leaders discourage questions (or fraternisation). Finally we learn that Lucian is a freedom fighter and that the Lycans are victims of centuries of brutality. It was very well done.
