However, I thought I would hate him as Lestat, and I didn't.

That's actually one of the few roles I like Tom Cruise in. He's not my One True Lestat (that would be a slightly younger Tom Hardy, because Lestat is supposed to be tall, muscular, and insanely charming), but Cruise did a good job.

Consuela, you are in the thick of a whole lot of uhg. No need to apologize for it. Having somewhere, anywhere to say it out loud makes it a little less isolating. Because otherwise you are alone with it and your fellow inmates.

Yes, this. You need someplace to vent to, so you can hold on and function. Don't apologize.

That woman sounds kind of like my MIL, who is from Cleveland, and says "warsh."

His eyes look a little squirrelly, so maybe he had another seizure, and that's why he's so sleepy. I will reserve judgement until tomorrow.

I need you guys to be my witness--I just updated my BOSS on the project status without any prompting. See! I'm learning. Staying ahead on this one.

However, I thought I would hate him as Lestat, and I didn't.

I didn't like him there. But I think I can make a compelling argument that Brad Pitt should have played most of the roles in that movie. Well, either it is actually compelling or Jilli and Plei wanted me to shut up. It's a toss up. But I stand by my convictions.

Man, I feel like I'm all BOB NEEDS CLONOPIN these days. Sorry if I'm kind of one-note, it's boring even to me.

It's not. This is stressful. And your mom needs major benzos.

But also sort of that staring at a cat is a bad idea.

It is. But I am thinking of you and Homer.

Hang in there, Homer! And Jesse, snuggles are never wrong.

Someone just used a "Catlike typing detected" macro and didn't know it was a real thing.

I'm trying to balance feeling old with feeling like I have no outside life, but decided both are true enough--no need to pick just one.

Hey, the board ate part of my last post. I meant to say also that Paul Bettany would have been my Lestat, right or wrong. Tom Hardy is a cool idea, though.

Crazy or not, I think TC could become a convicted murderer and I'd still think Legend was the bomb (and I think it's that cinematography that I compare LOTR trilogies to, and they suffer for it).

Yes, do snuggle the Homer.

Brad Pitt playing all the roles (possibly NOT Claudia) would have been awesome. I don't think Paul Bettany existed in my brain at that time, but I love him in everything, including that horrible Wimbledon movie with Kirsten Dunst (Claudia). I do always feel a little bad, because I am just a Louis girl, no matter what. I totally appreciated everything Anne Rice did with Lestat, because the change in point of view from Interview to The Vampire Lestat, and how it just changed everything was brilliant, but at the end of the day, I just still sort of want Lestat and Louis to settle down together somewhere quiet and peaceful.
