I've never read any Anne Rice, but Wax read all of them when she was younger and owns many of them. My impression from fandom osmosis was largely accurate as to the character and quality of the movie, and it really was a good time, and a well-made movie about two completely unlikeable hilariously melodramatic emo jerks. Will be interested to see the new series or whatever they're developing now.
Fandom osmosis had managed to give me the impression that Louis and Lestat were ultimately the intended OTP of this universe, which would have been very Yikes on the basis of this movie, so I was relieved that Wax told me that wasn't the case.
So now I've watched Top Gun, Point Break, Robocop, and Interview with the Vampire, I'm afraid I may run out of silly 80s (action? genre?) pop culture classics to watch. There's still Blade Runner, obviously. Wax suggested Gremlins, but other than that horror is ineligible. I can't think of any other ones I've missed! I may be reduced to reading listicles soon.
I applied for Finnish citizenship today, or, well, I filled out the online application. I've been meaning to get around to that for years, but it was always like "Well, when's a good time to suddenly spend 380€?" (No better time than the day you get paid, I guess.) That's what the application cost the last time I checked, but it's up to 460€ now, and the process takes like a year, haha. Still, I guess that's in time for the next national elections so I can vote - and before my US passport expires so I can get an EU one instead.
