With dentistry that bad, he must be English. ...

I wonder how he managed to close his mouth? Or were the teeth/fangs retractable?

I was thinking that, too.  Grin  While I was slamming English dentistry. ...

One of the problems is (and that's just a very personal quirk of mine) - I have a hard time thinking anyone is hot once he dons a top hat for *real* as part of the period costume. Goes for the above, and for any kind of Dickens movie, or any movie version of Les Miserables.

In my mind's version, Louis sure wasn't walking around in a top hat. And he looked darker, more haunted, the eyes weren't so swimming, and there was no lipgloss or whatever they were wearing.

I actually like Tom Cruise the best in the film - I agree with Anne Rice that he did a great job as Lestat. And contrary to many people's expectations at the time.

I was so eager to see that movie, because I was very into the book, the conflicting emotions, the giving in to the darkness in you, the twisted sensuality.... and the film just left me cold. Didn't evoke the feelings of the book at all. Such things sure are very subjective.

I have very similar feelings about INTERVIEW, Mikaela.  I read the book when it came and became obsessed with it. Kind of like I am now with True Blood, come to think of it.  When they finally made the film I couldn't wait to see it but, like you, it just left me cold.  I hated Brad Pitt's Louis, he reminded me of a stunned chipmunk on valium, but I enjoyed Tom Cruise's Lestat.  He had lost all that weight and acted so fey and un-hinged, I thought he did a great job.  Overall, I found the film strangely bloodless (hehehe) so it was a disappointment overall.

I imagine they sit outside his lips, like bulldogs and various big cats.

Interview is on my list of "movies I wish IŽd never seen".

Interview is on it and most movies staring Mark Wahlberg. Grin

I think the whole cast was wrong and I found the whole thing anoying. I just couldnt wait for Lestat to die Tongue

So... a disappointment right up to the very end, then?  Grin

I had a friend back then who didn't know I was into the whole vampire thing and who after a weekend told me that she and her boyfriend had been to what had to be the worst, the most horrible, the most pointless, the most boring and God-awful film she'd ever seen. She couldn't understand why people made such useless drivel. And so on for quite some time - I remember her rant because it *was* truly memorable. She concluded the rant by informing me of the horrid movie's name - it was "Interview with...". 


BTW, I haven't seen "Queen of the Damned" so I don't know if the non-Cruise incarnation of Lestat is better or worse or just different.

Oh, I had forgotten Rutger Hauer was in BTVS the movie!

Nice reminder!  Smiley
