The second season of Interview with the Vampire dropped on Netflix and I wanted to re-watch the first season to work up to it. My eldest (who is nocturnal) was up and got sucked in. I was pleased by this because I've been trying to get him to read the series for years. I read Interview when I was in high school, a few years after it came out, and have re-read it several times over the years but not recently. I've also read all the other Vampire Chronicles, but not as many times as Interview.
I really like how they changed Louis and Claudia's race, and moved the timeline up 100 years so they could do a Sinners-esque commentary on racism in the South. And it's beautifully shot. The show really outdoes the book, which isn't a common thing to happen.
I took my afternoon nap and when I woke up, my kid was waiting patiently for me to get up so he could tell me that the third season would be based on The Vampire Lestat, complete with a live music tour in character. And they're coming to Oakland. He's declared we are going to it and as soon as the dates are released we'll buy tickets.
I haven't been to a concert in years, how exciting! And even though I'm old and not really a sexual being anymore, Sam Reid's Lestat makes my heart throb, just a little. Fucking Tom Cruise in the movie was awful. I hate that shrimpy Scientologist. He had no business being Lestat though Brad Pitt was a wonderful Louis.
