Interview with the Vampire ~ an almost daily diary

He's like that kid down the street who always got in trouble but nobody could ever get cross with him. The loveable rogue thing. He definately has that quality about him. And I don't mind him spilling the beans on those who must be kept; it was instrumental to the stories and breaking rules.
I do mind him being a bit careless when it comes to choosing his fledglings. He was lucky that Gabrielle was such a strong person on the inside; she did'nt rely on him. But Nicholas did and so did Claudia and it almost cost Louis' life. He hardly ever sounds truly sorry for making his "failed" fledglings. For him it's just another adventure. Claudia lived a horrific life for 65 years. She was the perfect vampire; it's all she knew. Stupid Lestat did'nt count on Claudia developing a mind of her own and finding out that, not only will she never, ever grow up. On top of that, she realized that she'd never known and never will know what it's like to be human.

they're in the Theatre now, after the show, talking with Armand

'Madeleine, Louis is shy'

I love the talk Louis and Armand had!

Madelaine's in the book much more, I quite like those bits. And she burns down her doll shop because she doesn't need all those dolls that look like her daughter now she has Claudia. I wonder if Anne collected dolls for a similar reason.

Hmmmmm.

I just bought the movie again after I realized the other day that I lost my dvd of it. It most likely got left behind at Randys house when I moved out of there. Fucking Randy got my IWTV dvd!

LOL. I'm buying a new one, next week. IWTV is soooo special to all of us.

I have the special edition in a red sleeve; I think it wasa HMV exclusive; will watch when I've finished the book, I think

Madeleine just burned her shop down. I'm not enjoying this re-read much. It's such a depressing book.

I like the banner, prelude to one of my favorite scene of the movie

"Another doll? I have dozens you realize."

at the moment...

'It's time for justice, little one!!'

I hate that bitch! What's her name? Sophie or something?

Estelle!

Cunt!

there was also Celeste!

which one was she? was she in the movie?

I think it was Estelle, played by Sara Stockbridge, who was in the move; she's the one who rips open the curtains on Louis and Claudia and cries, 'It's time for justice, little one!' - in the book Claudia and Madeleine are dead, and I can't get used to the fact that Lestat is there as well

That's why I don't think Lestat is a "great" vampire. His petty emotions make him cause death to those he claims to love. I love him but, I don't "like" him. Just like Armand :P

Armand is so complex, even after reading the Vampire Armand I still never felt like I ever had a true understanding of him and what makes him tick


anyway, me and my boyfriend just watched the movie yesterday.

and I am almost done my re-read of BlackWood Farm. I might re-read IWTV next

I once knew someone called Celeste, she was dead posh!

the bit I've just read mentions Lestat being helped to escape from Paris by two vampires made by the same master at the same time; Magnus made other vampires along with Lestat? I don't remember that from TVL

That's because its not in TVL. There is also no mention of the 2 vampires made by Lestat (??) at the end of IWTV.

also Louis walks past a house in the Garden District which I'm sure is the Mayfair house
