Not saying it…not gonna say it…
Not saying what?
LAST! just kidding.
But they were BADASS. Lestat wouldn’t have put up with no fucking Cullens. He’d probably have drained the entire town of Forks, Washington dry, given the chance.
And very likely the entire reservation as well……… werewolves or no werewolves.
you just cannot compare the two … one was an amazing (and underrated ) film the other a choice bewettn necrophila and beastilaity
You mean of blood?
At leat they didn’t SPARKLE!
They sparkled, they just did it the right way: by being queens.
^ your comment is full of win
i second that
I third that. Awesome comment.
they didn’t sparkle, and they didn’t go to effin’ high school. as far as “gay” goes, twillight still blows brad and tom (and even banderas) right out of the water.
I almost died I laughed so hard. Good joke, sir, good joke!
Twilight better than Interview with a Vampire? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
OHMYGOD WHY DID THIS POST HERE ON YOURS.
Internet keeps trying to get me killed -sad face-
there is a HUGE difference between a “gay vampire” and a “homosexual vampire”. Lestat was heterosexually challenged, but he wasn’t sparkling!
… Amen.
“heterosexually challenged” good one. Lestat is bi so its not really an insult.
That’s kind of uncalled for. Lestat is bada**. he wouldn’t have tried end his life for a whiny girl by bursting in to sparkles in front of a bunch of humans. I hate seeing Anne Rice’s masterpieces being compared to forth rate wanna be vamps that Meyer came up with. Leaves a bad taste in mouth.
Same here. I know people who deliberately avoid Anne Rice’s books now because they think it’s the Twilight of the 90′ies. Such a shame, really.
People actually avoid those wonderful works of literature because of Twilight?! That’s it..its time to burn Stephanie Meyers at the stake!
Well, it DID come to her in a “Dream”…. Whaddaya expect?
Too bad I can’t remember the nightly Horrors my SubCon dishes up in the morn, or I’d be a bestselling Author, too……
I agree, but Lestat is bisexual there’s nothing wrong with that. I do believe he would kick Edward Cullens ass and bring him to Akasha (the “real” Akasha, not the lame movie version) for dinner.
First of all those so called “vampires” of Twilight are not vampires they are sparkling pixies…..and dude Lestat is in no way gay!!! Maybe Tom Cruise is but not the vampire Lestat.
Actually, if you read the books, he can be, in fact, considered bisexual. Anne Rice writes her vampires as beings that don’t see sex. Whether a person is male or female does not matter to them. They appreciate what both the sexes are and love them for that. Intercourse is also never included or even possible. The pleasure is in the draining of blood, not blowjobs.
In the first book, Lestat was in love with Louis. It had nothing to do with him being a male though and only to do with the beauty he saw in him.
The true insult here is comparing him to (shudders) Edward. They are poor excuses of vampires.
Yes, but if you were to compare the actual characters, Edward definitely comes off as a terribly unintersting attempt to copy Louis. ‘Cos Louis wasn’t dull and whiny enough already. Lestat should kill ‘em all.
Asexual, not bisexual.
*Pansexual
True enough, but to be completely fair, The Vampire Armand and Blood and Gold have to be mentioned. Even if Marius did not ‘get off’ as such, the elements were there all the same.
That said, no matter how much some of Anne Rice’s ideas make me twitch, the alternatives Twilight supplies are simply unacceptable.
Thank you, well said!
Well put and I agree, although there was much sensuality in the act of drinking blood.
Lestat was bisexual BEFORE he became a vampire.
Vampires, without exception, are all bisexual, but not in the human sense of the word. They’re equally attracted to both men and women, but all are impotent and cannot engage in actual sexual activity. They derive all sexual pleasure through the act of feeding.
Hmm if you have read Vitorio (oops forgot the spelling “blush”) vampires had sex and Lestat had an erection in Queen Of The Damned. They just don’t have as much interest in intercourse, they have less feeling down there so to speak.
Yea Lestat and Nickolaus were lovers. There are two lovely young men who dress up as them for the Vampire balls in New Orleans every year, but as vampires, not as mortals.
What gets me is how romantic young girls think Edward is.
“He watches her sleep. How romantic!” That’s not romantic! It’s creepy! If your boyfriend breaks into your room to watch you sleep, when you wake up you will be creeped out. Period.
“Edward finds Bella’s scent intoxicating! How sweet!” Um, hello… he finds her scent DELICIOUS. As in FOOD.
“He really respects her.” Of course. He’s older, smarter, and more sophisticated; she’s a klutz, and a danger magnet; later, (if what I hear is true) she becomes an adrenaline junkie. What’s not to respect?
Guys use the “I respect you” line for two reasons… 1) they’re telling you what you want to hear, to get laid; and 2) they are trying to slow things down. It seems like Edward is using reason 2, because he’s scared he’ll lose control and suck her dry. That’s not love; that’s keeping her at arm’s length. Either commit or set her free.
Ummm, he did commit. In the third book. I’ve only seen the first movie and didn’t like it but the books were okay. Lestat is definitely the scarier vampire, though, hands down.
I liked the books well enough. But I love the movies, because they’re so bad they’re brilliant. Great for watching with friends and poking fun at, with a couple of drinks.
Don’t know that I ever found Lestat to be really scary. In the movie he was twisted and funny. Similar in the books, but also pretty mournful sometimes. Though thankfully never close to Louis’ melancholy. Great character. Haven’t read a lot of vampire books, but Lestat is definitely my favourite vamp out there.
OK, judging STRICTLY by the pictures it may look like that but if you would see the movie ( or better still read the books ) you would know that Lestat is real badass vampire and has absolutely nothing in common with that sparkling idiot.
my Mom, and my father named me after those damn vampires.
Yeah, remember when vampires really were sexy? *sigh*
And well-written….*more sighing*
Yea I remember when they could be sexy AND badass…like Lestat and Jean Claude. There have been other vampires I’ve drooled over, but I cannot recall them at the moment. Some even sent a chill up my spine.
Well, at least Lestat IS a vampire.
A badass, bloodsucker vampire.
Not a parody.
And never attracted the cougar crowd.
Hey now…at 36 I still lust after Lestat and my mom did too when she was alive.
Yeah, but I think the Cougar crowd he’s/she’s referring to, is the picture with the *Twilight Moms* sign. As in, moms who wanna be “cool”.
Ann Rice’s books are beautifully and intelligently written. “Twilight” series reads like it was written for twelve-year-olds BY twelve-year-olds! Vampires don’t go to high school or prom….
Clearly, you didn’t get past Memnoch… Rice lost what few marbles she had right around there.
Still a more enjoyable read than Twilight.
I believe it should have read ‘vampires do not go to high school for fifty years in a row’
…and the really weird things did not begin until Merrick… afterwards, well…
i gotta agree with you about Memnoch that is when I tuned out.
I still enjoyed her books..er up until Blood Canticle. That book was lame. Lestat just wasn’t the same Brat Prince I grew to lust and love…and on occasion be angered at.
there a 4 lights!11111111111
dont worry there not real
gay vampires DID exist before twilight, fairys that drink blood are new
Lestat de Lioncourt for the win!
Yes, and they were hotter too. Not to mention that they were REAL sociopathic bloodsuckers that kicked ass.
Edward is a neutered loser.
Lestat was a moron. Edward Cullen is a moron. Most Vampires are morons in literature, film or otherwise. Selfishness is generally moronic.
Twilight got one thing right in the books, once a Vampire is feeding it shouldn’t stop until you’re dead. Saying that, Sparkly skin as a reason to avoid people is a pretty crap reason.
Anne Rice lost the plot in her books with Lestat meeting the freaking devil and god and most folks in between. Some of her writing waws definitely good but those that hail her as being a fantastic writer really need to go back and re-read the books they loved as a teenager. She really isn’t all that special.
Agree. Some of her books are good, some can be really, really awful. I stop reading her stuff when the vampire drank the blood from Jesus or something of sort.
I STILL read and enjoy her books, well the ones that were around when I was a teen. Not all vampires drain til you’re dead. There were stories before Anne Rice that involved vampires coming around a few times before the person actually dies.
Oh yeah, and folks conveniently forget that Lestat was a rapist scumbag. They make excuses for him in such a truly emo way and gloss over the fact that he’s bit of a muppet.
I enjoy drinking with my roommates and making fun of the Twilight movie. “You’d better hang on tight, spider monkey!” …..the hell???
Interview With the Vampire is not good drinking fun. There may be homoerotic undertones, but that’s part of the “vampires are alluring and intense and mysterious” thing–it’s not outright flaming like glittery, giant-haired, constipated-looking Edward and his Debussy boner and crimson rose lipstick.
Ah, in that case, I recommend The Queen of the Damned movie. Just consider the fact that the book was written in mid 80′s and think spandex…
Gay vampires may have been around long before Twilight, but I still remain adamant in my opinion that Twilight was the birthing ground of gay sparkly fairies that live in trees and CLAIM to be vampires =P
It is quite simple actually, Edward is the “Peter Pan” of vampires. . .a perpetual boy. Therefore he appeals to girls and “mental girls.” Lestat, though turned at a younger age than Edward (if I remember right) behaves like a MAN and therefore has a more broad appeal.
Lestat was turned at 21, but the main thing to consider is the time he was supposed to be born in: 18th century France. He was the son of a noble, so he has… flamboyant tendencies in dress.
At least since Carmilla….
*snort* Oh, good one…
Real gay vampires sparkle.
Twinkle, twinkle, little Cullen…
Short synopsis of all above comments:
Twillight stinks.
Oh hey, Lestat was an awesome vampire.
And the other guy? He’s not even a vampire. He’s a fairy
Twilight sucks. nuff said.
Lol and i think he’s pretty darn hot in tht movie…
Yea, one of the few movies I find Tom Cruise attractive in.
Ah yes…..back before Cruise became really too strange to stomach.
This.
thank you for this.
I love interview with a vampire ((Even if ann is slightly outa the pineapple…she believes her characters are real folks..)) ((Still lover her.))
Lestat is the ultimate vampire, he’s the reason why I adore vampires. LOL. Anyway, Lestat is a character written by Anne Rice and he appears in books such as Interview with a Vampire, The Vampire, Lestat and Queen of the Damned. Edward Cullen is a vampire created by Stephenie Meyer who is a “vegetarian” and is in love with a human. lol I love it.
