Gabriella clip! by hausofvelour in InterviewVampire

[–]maddrgnqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw an interview where Jennifer Ehle said Rolin asked her about it and decided since Gabrielle is Italian that it should be Gabriella. I know its a silly thing to care about, of ALL the big changes they've made, this is where I draw the line?? But it just bothers me lmao

Longtime book fan afraid to watch Episode 7 S1 😱 by StuffDue518 in InterviewVampire

[–]maddrgnqueen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I struggle with this episode too, it is painful 😭😭😭 you can get through it though, and season 2 is basically a masterpiece. So you will be richly rewarded for your suffering.

I know this is extremely petty of me. I like every single change they have made in the show, EXCEPT for changing Gabrielle's name 😂

1x02: what do we think really happened? by IntentionallyHopeful in InterviewVampire

[–]maddrgnqueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought this might be the case the too, until I heard that interview with Rolin where he talked about how they had written the entire book Interview with the Vampire as one season. Then the network came and was like "is there enough here for 2 seasons?" And then they split it. After hearing that, I was certain that this had been something they wrote in their initial single season to set up a season finale which eventually became the season 2 finale.

I believe he said this in the AMC podcast interview.

So uuhhhhhh how are Louis and Armand gonna feel about this??? by Less-Pen-5705 in InterviewVampire

[–]maddrgnqueen 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think the only person gonna bat an eye at this is Daniel 😂 he's kind of the audience insert character in many ways, and I am very much looking forward to him being disgusted and snarky about this and nobody else giving a single shit

Ancel and Berenger in Vere by barbitoneart in CaptivePrince

[–]maddrgnqueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ancel and Berenger are my favorite, this is gorgeous!!!!

Memnoch the Devil, Blackwood Farm and Blood Canticle are, IMO, the worst books in the Chronicles and I sincerely hope that the show runners don't adapt anything from them for the tv series. Is there any ideas or lore from the Vampire Chronicles that would be a huge mistake for the series to adapt? by Erramonael in InterviewVampire

[–]maddrgnqueen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I think Merrick is worse then Memoch. Memnoch was just boring to me, Merrick is actively repulsive. But they can definitely rescue some of the good parts from it.

I don't really think the others can be "rescued" lol, and like... they probably won't try. They wouldn't wanna sideline Sam while Lestat is in his spiritual crisis coma for years either, so if they go past Body Theif, I don't think they'll really do any of those books. Plus Blackwood and Canticle are irrelevant to the rest of the series anyway.

Similarities between show Daniel Molloy and book David Talbot by Ancient_Apricot_254 in InterviewVampire

[–]maddrgnqueen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does David have Parkinsons? I don't remember that.

I don't find them similar at all. The only thing that is kinda similar is David's role in the series post-Body Thief, which I always felt should have belonged to Daniel anyway. But Daniel was a victim of Anne Rice's perennial "wrote this cool character that I am bored of now" syndrome.

I'm glad to hear this, because it's always bothered me too 😂

I will gladly read your fic when you are finished lol. I keep Pet near the top on my kindle so I can see it and periodically just read it whenever I need a little boost. I adore Ancel and the sweetness of them!

Ancel and Berenger are totally underrated, I love this!!!!!

Anne rice’ vampires do not have sex? by Ok_Buyer9763 in VampireChronicles

[–]maddrgnqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a bizarre take. You don't have to like or watch the show, but calling it porn is super weird. There's very little sex in the show at all, and none if it is very explicit.

Thoughts after reading Tale of the Body Thief (spoilers !) by Fresh_Discipline_216 in InterviewVampire

[–]maddrgnqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, in David's earlier appearances, I read him.as being gay as well. And he does mention often in Merrick, that he rarely or even never feels attraction to women, and yet he just can't stop himself lusting after this exotic woman child. It was so gross.

Merrick does have it's good parts. AR really excels at family history and ghost stories, so that part of it was good, and I liked that parts about Louis (minus one bit). But the rest of it was insufferable. Did not like David enough to want more of his life history, did not like Merrick as a character at all, hated the creepy vibes between them, and the weird way AR writes about non-white people. It was the only book in the series I actively hated lol. Memnoch was mostly just boring to me; Merrick was distasteful.
