I love Anne Rice, to pieces. I watched Interview with the Vampire last night and my GOD she is incredible. She includes a lot of homoerotic-ness in her books anyway because Lestat is just a big bisexual! But that film is just extradordinary. I will list the bits that REALLY get me, EVERY time I watch it, because I think they deserve a mention:
1. When Louis meets Armand and Armand says "Remember my name... Armand"... gives me the shivers
2. The bit where Louis tells Armand that he is leaving and Armand comes out from behind the corner and says "So soon?" with lots of fire in his eyes as if... we haven't even started yet! ;D
3. The bit when Armand brushed his hand through the candle flame and winces.
4. When Armand speaks these words... (it is also the music that does this and the fact that by this point you know Armand wants Louis)... "Vampire... with a human soul. Immortal... with a mortal's passion....... you ... are... beautiful, my friend" ... MY GOD IT KILLS ME!
5. Generally all the bits after with Louis and Armand but particularly when Louis 'regretfully' declines his 'invitation' to join him and comes up to his face and grasps his head in his hands and speaks to him like he's going to kiss him, his lips even touch Armand's forehead (made ever by the fact that Louis is played by Brad Pitt and Armand played by Antonio Banderas!) and he speaks the words 'Ah, but I know you did. I know. You who regrets nothing, you who feels nothing, if that's all I have left to learn, I can do that on my own.' etc... i know the script too well... but it really turns me on. I mean... REALLY... turns me on. Bloody Hell.
6. Also when Louis finds Lestat in the old house near the very end and Lestat turns round and looks Louis up and down and says 'still beautiful' and 'the more you fought the more i wanted you' and the look on his face is just brilliant.
I tell you what, I worship Anne Rice for that story and that film and every one of her books. We just need Tarquin Blackwood in the Louis/Armand picture now and it would be amazing. Anyone who doesnt think girls can or should be turned on by seeing two guys together like men get turned on at seeing two girls together should be smacked.
