This conversation occured this evening. For those of you who don't know, I have a previous story about my bestfriend who thinks he's Lestat to which I am his Louis.
Me: I'm coming home in like a week, we should rent some movies and just relax. The fireplace in the basement works now.
Lestat: What should you rent?
Me: I was thinking... Queen of the Damned?
Lestat: ...I should have let you die.
I've had a crappy week and I can't stop laughing at this...

Ironic how the first community I join is one devoted to bashing....
I had no idea that there was any way to screw something I love so much up so badly....... *dies* My main issues wiht the movie were that A) Jesse's a Mary-Sue. I would like to know when the fuck she became one of the main characters in QOTD. Someone tell me when?????? NEVER! B) I could not tell who the characters were half of the time. They were that badly cast. Did not fit the roles even slightly. C) What happened to all of the red haired twins stuff that took up quite a bit of the book?
Damn that movie pissed me off though. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry or hurl the TV out the window or go back and read the book to get my mind off the damn thing. In the end I laughed, probably pissed my friend off by ranting, and reread it.
Love to all my fellow haters!!!!!

Oh, yess! Finally a place to rant without people telling me to shut my trap xD
I actually bought the thing, but only 'cause I couldn't find it to rent it anywhere. Had to see it, tho. Know thy enemy, y'know? I kinda alternated between laughing, groaning and hiding my face against the wall behind me (the latter whenever Vincent Perez opened his mouth to "speak" or Andrew Newton showed his hideous visage and bad, blond perm. I refuse to call them by their characters' names).
Anyway, hiya, I'm fifteen years old and from Norway and I love this place already. 'Nuff said.

Oh God! I really hate this movie.
I'm a huge fan from VC and from new tales of vampires and i like so much the first movie about Interview with the vampire, but the movie about Queen of the dammed is sucks. Even I couldn't finish wacthed the movie. I can't understand how Rice could give permiss to do it.
Yes! I saw this community and had to join! I was a VC fan back before the fnadom witch hunts, and that movie was an atrocity. Just the final nail in the coffin for me (heh). I can't watch it without either getting ridiculously nagry or laughing like a lunatic. It's just that horrible.
I own it on DVD. I pull it out every so often to remind me of what a bad movie is really like.
I haven't been on this community too long so maybe it's been discussed already but I was curious if by chance Queen of the Damned was given another chance to be made into a more accurate film- who would you rather see playing certain roles? Like what young male actor of today do you think would play a good Lestat? I was trying to think up some but does anyone else have any ideas?
And also if this second chance was given would people prefer it instead to be on regular TV where it could be instead a couple hours long than a typical 2 hour film? I mean Stephen King does it with many of his films such as the Stand and I think with all that is involved with QotD, that would be a better idea.
I'm not saying that it will be given a second chance- I'm sure it won't, but I sometimes think of what could be done if it ever was.

I am happy I found this community.
Months ago, my friend taught me the ways of The Vampire Chronicles and why the Queen of the Damned movie was total crap and even when she showed me some clips, I had no idea how bad the movie was going to be When I looked hard in my local Video Store, I rented Qotd along with Ginger Snaps because they were both in the "2 for 1" bin (Though Ginger Snaps is actually really really good). How disturbing the final movie was, I was unprepared for. The CGI was medicore at best, the story was screwed up, there was so many messed up things.
When I read on Wikipedia that Queen Akasha made woman in Third Countries Kill Men, I was like "OMFG!!!!!!!" That's how stupid the movie is

Can I just say I felt left out?
But personally, I found that Marius' three-line-puppy hilarous...
That's what you get for breaking up by writing a book.
