Sunday, May 22, 2005 Claudia, 'Interview With The Vampire'
"Oh god, I love you still, and that's the torment of it. But who will care for me - my love, my dark angel - when you are gone?"
Ok, so I'm obsessive and have watched this movie far too many times. Don't understand why they say Anne Rice didn't like it, it seems far better than any of the film incarnations of her work she actually approved of. Ok, so Armand's age is completely wrong (he's supposed to be 14, not 40). Or maybe she was just unhappy that Brad Pitt was too pretty as Louis and outshone her precious Lestat.
Conclusion: someone who can write a kickass book might not be able to come up with a kickass movie.
There's a shelf of reference books over at Woodlands Library that are actually academic criticisms of Anne Rice. Must drag myself over there some day to devour said books.
