we rented Queen of the Damned this Friday before Jeremy's move.
i was actually pretty excited about renting it despite
the horrible reviews and Anne Rice's refusal to make comments on it.
i was horribly dissapointed in every way possible. i didn't think it could be worse than interview with a vampire. i liked interview in a lot of ways but overall found a strong disconnect between it and the novel iteself. i felt like they didn't even need anne rice's storyline on this. they could have just made up their own bull shit plot and ran with it.
one of the most beautiful things about anne rice's vampire series is the intricate weaving of personalities, story lines, and characters that have developed over centuries. this crappy shitty movie was like watching some horrible mtv video. and what was with the crappy voice overs? i don't know what anne rice was thinking when she signed away the rights to her story. there was just so much they could have done with this novel, it's such a shame they did nothing with it.
so much for quality entertainment.
