Review of Interview with the vampire season 3 episode 4 (The Vampire Lestat episode 4)
I noticed the show writers seem afraid of “Cliches” and “tropes” and so keep mocking actual dialogue and lines from the novel like they’re something inferior and mockable.
Also I feel the nihilism of the show writers is evolving into actual hate, including hate for rock musicians. There’s no romance or Gothic ambiance. Instead we have this idea that rockstars “need” to be on cocaine to “do their jobs.” Now THAT is cliché and they don’t even seem to realize it. No, rock muscians don’t need to be coked up to do their “jobs.” Danny Elfman (former lead singer of Oingo Boingo) wouldn’t be alive right now if he did drugs. This notion that rock musicians need to be on cocaine to “do their jobs” is really insulting to rock musicians and anyone who is creative and talented without the need for opiates or narcotics. I lost my stepfather to a drug over dose. I don’t have patience for this dribble.
It’s almost like the show writers only learned about rock stars from watching Cracked Actor (Bowie Documentary from 1974) and maybe Velvet Goldmine.
In the book, Lestat’s band did pot and it was only mentioned once and Lestat didn’t partake, Anne Rice’s vampires don’t smoke.
WHY does this show portray Gabrielle (Gabriella) as sex obsessed and evil?}
A blood shower!?! Really!? In their effort to avoid the original Ricean tropes (callingt them cliches) they have latched onto late 90s Blade movie level edgelord cliches. Lestat, of the novel, would have been revolted at the idea of blood showers. And the show is going to get dated really fast with the chosen vocabulary.
Why are the lyrics so vapid? And why do they have Lestat laugh mockingly every time they let him quote his own words from the novel? It really feels like deliberate digs at the book and Anne Rice’s writing style. Why are people who obviously hate the source material in charge of this?
And Louis hires a down-on-her-luck girl to pretend to be Claudia? What the Hell is that about?
