*waves hand, with VC icons*

Hello =]

What have I been up to, lately? Gym, diet, uni work and reading like crazy. My eyes even hurt. I've been busy with many things, but managed to find the time to delight myself with The Plays of Oscar Wilde. I adore the man's writing, the way he words sentences, the characters he creates. I've read The Importance of Being Earnest, A woman of no importance and am halfway through Lady Windermere's fan. I find it fascinating how he inevitably weaves in the plot a character who can speak as eloquently as Wilde himself writes, and who shares his peculiar wit.

Other than that, I've just stopped by to say hello, hug you all and post five Louis, Lestat and Louie/Stat icons:

(25/out/07)EDIT: because I no longer trust LJ with my material, I've moved the five Vampire Chronicles icons.

There are certainly more to come, I've laid my hands on some fine picutres... I can't wait to see what you'll make of them, phantomparadise! *beams*

I also wish to pass on an admirable iniciative I've seen at sm_malfoy's journal:

Have You Left Your Comment Today?

anaid_rabbit and wide_ocean decided to start a movement to leave more comments and thus brighten up more peoples' lives. Think about how nice it would be if everyone would pledge to leave at least one comment a day that they otherwise wouldn't have left - maybe on a post where they were afraid to say something, or just something nice on a completely random journal.

In short: Take the pledge with us. Leave at least one additional comment on someone's LJ each day, and make the world a better place. Spread the love!

And make sure to post this last bit on your own journal, so that the love may indeed spread.

I love the idea; it's so wonderful coming home to an inbox full of tenderness and warmth.

*huggles lots*

Ooooh, I <3 #2 & #3!! Because 2 is so hilariously true and 3 is just beautiful *.* When I first read the book and then watched the movie, I really disliked Cruise as Lestat. But I've come to adore him as our lovely Brat Prince. XD

Mini-rant: Stuart Townsend SUCKS as Lestat!

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

LOL, people seem to like #2. I guess Louis has a firm reputation as a whiner... *amused* I think I'll be using that icon myself quite a lot. I like looking at it too.

Well, in truth, I watched the movie before reading the book, so my Lestat has always been Cruise. When I read the book, though, I kept thinking about just how short Cruise was, then I decided that it suited Lestat just fine. He needs some sort of very blatant thing for other people to pick up on.

I've come to adore him as our lovely Brat Prince

Oh, same here. He can twitch his lips to show arrogance like few others, Jason Isaacs maybe.

Hmm... I like Towsend as Leather-Pants Lestat, for some reason. But he can't convey any dramatic depth and therefore, yeah, he sucks. Quite literally, I may add. *evil*

[killthwight.livejournal.com]

Of course he has a reputation for a whiner. He's the resident annoying vampire.

LOL, I find that amusing, since Lestat was supposed to be tall compared to other people when he was born. I think I had a problem with Cruise because Lestat was supposed to be quite young-looking, about 21 I think... Not to mention I imagined Lestat's hair to be a bit silkier, his nose thinner. In terms of characterisation I can't really say what I liked and disliked, because I read the book years and years ago and can't really remember...

Oh no.
Leather-Pants!Lestat = Leather-Pants!Draco = Super-OOCness
Honestly, the movie for QotD was a complete rape to the book. Dear god, it was awful >.< *has a headache just thinking about it*

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

He's the resident annoying vampire.

*ROFL* I'm making a new batch of VC icons tonight, mind if I borrow that quote?
Help me find something of the sort for Stat?

Oh, yes, there were details of Cruise that didn't fit, but I think he found the spirit of Lestat, and that's why I liked him so much. Banderas, on the other hand, ruined Armand. Our dearest Little Vampire was much bitchier, had a much worse temper than the calmness Banderas exhaled. Not to mention, Banderas didn't look all of fifteen years old.
I quite liked Pitt as Louis, too. His hair wasn't curly or darkish as it should, but gods, the man can POUT. That's the key word for Louis, so all is good XD

Leather-Pants!Lestat = Leather-Pants!Draco = Super-OOCness

Do you think so? In terms of writing, I agree, but single-shots of Towsend looking smug in his leatherpants are likeable to me...

Honestly, the movie for QotD was a complete rape to the book. Dear god, it was awful >.< *has a headache just thinking about it*

Then don't think about it, dear. The film was horrible. If I were its director or Towsend, I'd be looking over my shoulder every night on terror of one certain blood-thirsty Anne Rice who gets murderous when her characters are 'borrowed'. We all know what happened to the Singer Who Was Too Skinny To Play Akasha....

[killthwight.livejournal.com]

Sure, you can borrow it if you want XD
I'd say Stat is the resident delinquent vampire. Honestly, the man is insane.

Yeah, Cruise did capture the spirit of Lestat for IwtV. Maybe even if he were to interpret Lestat in some other movie. But book!Lestat will forever be different than Cruise to me.

Oh, Banderas makes a completely different Armand. Armand is supposed to be bitchy when he wants to, he's bitter and he's lost in the world. Not to mention he's supposed to have auburn curls. *grumbles* But I liked movie!Armand nonetheless.

No, no, I just can't picture Lestat in leather pants. That's...That's utterly weird. I can picture him trying it on, curling his lips in disgust, and then throwing the pants in a corner. It doesn't strike me as Lestat-ish. Although from all the vampires, I think he's the likeliest one of the old brood to be seen in leather pants. *giggles at the thought of Leather-Pants!Marius*

[culuyetille.livejournal.com]

LOL! Stat to me is the resident Impossible vampire. As Gabrielle keeps telling him, he's impossible. He can't be dealt with. All the more fun for us, and more whining for Louis. Not that he'd have any different ;]

I liked movie!Armand nonetheless

Oh, me too. I mean, I like the Armand character they created for the movie. But almost I wish they'd named him something other than Armand...

No, no, I just can't picture Lestat in leather pants. That's...That's utterly weird. I can picture him trying it on, curling his lips in disgust, and then throwing the pants in a corner.

*laughs* And coming out of the trying-room in underpants and shirt only, claiming that if something is to hug his skin that tightly and mark his outlines as sharply, he might as well enjoy the cool night air on his legs and give everyone a view XD
Meanwhile, all the other vamps growl in exasperation & embarrassment. I fancy Louis would even blush, Marius would hide a smile and Armand would go positively berserk. "You can't even buy clothing without making a scene!"

from all the vampires, I think he's the likeliest one of the old brood to be seen in leather pants. *giggles at the thought of Leather-Pants!Marius*

*chuckles* oh, definitely. And I can also see Stat trying to inflict the leather pants on everyone, much to their misery.

[killthwight.livejournal.com]

Stat to me is the resident Impossible vampire.

Ahhh, that is because you haven't read the other books! A vampire that goes along with an extra-feminist mass murdered, a body exange with a mortal, and goes off treading into heaven and hell is definitely Delinquent to me. *laughs*

OOOOH! and I forgot you haven't met David properly yet!! (Only crappy movie!David that has nothing to do with book!David).

(And I just noticed your layout is positively improper to show in a public computer. *laughs*)

I'll answer more to this comment later, ok? Must go now.

XDDDD do you really think so? I haven't acessed LJ in college yet... hmm, will take care. Pity that, though. If people weren't so tied up, life would be much more entertaining.
