I've seen a Nickistat edit on social media that has a sex scene in it that is much longer than the one in the actual episode. In the episode I watched, the scene cuts right away to Lestat saying the "blah blah blah bipolar boyfriend" line. In the edit I saw, it doesn't. Is it from the uncut episode? I'm so confused!
This time it was my brother. You should have seen his face when I was trying to describe this season to him. Then I realized how crazy it really was. And that's what I love about it.
And damn, Sam Barclay Daniel Hart did such a magnificent job producing this album! The musical arrangements for all the songs are so good!
Just finished my rewatch of season 1. Already rewatched season 2 when 3 was airing, and 3 about 2 weeks after it ended.
I have to say, the psychological depths of this show are astonishing. It gets much less attention than it deserves to because it's about vampires.
What do I do now? Probably another rewatch of season 2, 3 and then 1 again. Until season 4 premiers, hopefully no more than two years from now.
When he wakes up on the bus in the TVL finale. Who did this? My headcanon is that it was Louis. In reality it was probably Gabriella (thinking about it makes my skin crawl). But I'm imagining them waiting for Louis to wake up himself just to ask him to change Lestat's clothes and put him in his favorite Yojhi Yamamato sweater.
I'm rewatching it now. Did a rewatch of season 2 when season 3 started airing, but I haven't watched season 1 in at least 2 years. They kill a lot of people. Way more than in season 3 or even season 2.
It's also brutal emotionally. While season 3 hit me especially hard emotionally, I forgot how messed up Louis is in season 1 Especially human Louis. That man desperately needed therapy, long before he even met Lestat. It of course have its moments of camp like the other seasons, which I'm grateful for.
Also, watching it back, the way they had us belive for a whole season that Armand was a human butler? Damn. It must have been difficult to a powerful vampire like him to pass as a human every time Daniel came around. I must say I prefer him as a vampire.
I just noticed that TC is drinking cola while they are all eating Lestat's soul. I'm sure Lestat would be so offended by people eating his soul washing it down with cola instead of a good French wine.
Suddenly something click for me. I think I understand why they chose to move TVL to 2023-2025 instead of 1984-1985 like in the book. Could it be because Sam Reid's other lead role on television was in The Newsreader, which is set in 1986-1988? Maybe they didn't want him to be in another "80s series", especially when The Newsreader ran from 2021 to 2025, so almost in parallel to IWTV and TVL (2022-2026)? Am I reading too much into it?
I watched Belle and couldn't stop thinking about how Sam's character reminds me of human Lestat. It was almost like watching an AU fanfic about him.
Also, I'm watching The Newsreader and there are moments when I feel crazy, because there is no way Dale is played by the same person who plays Lestat.
I can't wait for fall, I'll take my black leather pants out of storage and then I'll be fully Lestat.
Also, the hair envy I have towards Sam is real! My hair used to be blonde like his when I was little, but didn't stay that way 😭
So my mom watched the IWTV movie when it came out in 1994. She hasn't read the books, she even wasn't aware of them besides knowing the first one exists. I think she went to see the movie because Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt were considered to be very good actors at the time.
So anyway, she vaguely remembered Lestat and Louis and even the character played by Christian Slater, in the movie is unnamed and in the series will become Daniel.
When I talked about how good the series was (specifically TVL, I could not shut up about this season) she asked me more about it and remembered she actually knows some of the characters from the movie. She did not remember Armand. When I tried to describe him, what I said was "very pretty, very tall, very scary" and I thought it was funny and accurate.
I started watching The Newsreader. It's like he's not the same person who's playing Lestat! Sam as Lestat and Sam as Dale are two different people who happen to have the same face. His range is incredible! I thought it would be weird to see him in another role because he is Lestat for me, but no, it's like watching a completely different person. Also, Lestat is an anxious character and Dale is an anxious character and he's playing each of them in a totally unique way, like they have a few similar characteristics but when I watch him as Dale I can't think of Lestat at all. After I finish The Newsreader I'm going to rewatch TVL. I wonder if I'll see some of Dale in Lestat.
Found them at the thrift store today. One was 13$ and the other 15$. They are genuine leather. One of them has a paisley print / engraving, which is also a unique detail.
A few years ago I would definitely find them for cheaper, but thrift prices have gone up almost everywhere. I'm still happy with them, they look like they could stay in my closet forever.
The fact that Louis is exceptionally beautiful in season 3 only shows how Lestat thinks he's more beautiful than Louis thinks about himself 💔
Did they make or still make sweaters in this shade of yellow? It's stuck in my head that I've seen oone somewhere, probably in a vintage store, but when I look online I mainly get sweaters in darker shades of yellow. Also a lot of butter yellow button up shirts, but not sweaters.
It's such a beautiful song! Up there with Brutal Love and Stained Glass Eyes.
As someone who loves rock music, I didn't expect to love the ballads in the album so much. I love the the rock songs as well, especially Butterscotch Bitch, Why Do I Have to Feel, Cabbage and All Fall Down, but the ballads really make me emotional.
It's not his exact pair, those are crazy expensive, but at least one thing is show accurate about them: Daniel was right, these are pants so tight no one should squeeze into!
I need to know the details of the pictured outfit! The belt I already have a similar one to his and the leather pants I can find at the thrift store when it gets colder, but omg this shirt!!! It's amazing! Where is it from? I would guess it was costume made by the costume department, but I could be an item that they bought or got on a lease from a designer.
Now that the season is over, I want to see all of the hilarious moments that happened when they filmed all the traumatizing scenes! My favorite part about the season 2 blooper reel was seeing them cracking up while filming sad, dramatic scenes. I will be waiting for the season 3 blooper reel to be released.
