Yeah I guess even though hes a vampire, he's oddly sympathetic. Vampire with a heart of gold even. As far as Vampires can act with any decency due to their given nature. The movie is almost philosophical in a sense. I don't remember the plot points exactly, but I think he at-least had some semblance of a code of honour, I think he got mad at Kirsten for killing so many woman, and that's how what eventually led to his betrayal when they tuned against him.

In-fact for movie about vampires, they all come across as sympathetic in some way. They're all flawed, trapped by their mutual condition, and what it takes to survive. Kirsten was saved from dying, only to be cursed to her little girl body forever. Brad, can't remember how he got turned, it's the start of movie, hes like a farmer peasant, or he's leaving a village and he had to much to drink, I can't remember. :scratch: Cruise character basically had seniority. Maybe he was made in classical antiquity. I remember basically outlines of movies, but details get lost to time. Would be cool to have a vampire lifespan. In fact I don't think it would be too bad a life at all. Lestat had a good thing going lol ,well up until the throat slashing part. He was like an aristocrat partying in a mansion in one scene.

But in his beaten down state at the end, he definitely gets sympathy from audience. And yeah you're right he doesn't seem to harbor a strong grudge. I guess it was the 'bromance' thing. He must have had the hots for brad. A person will overlook many a thing when they've got the HOTS for somebody...ya know, like attempted decapitation, small things like that....lol I guess enough time had passed. Yeah I like movies. I think I'm displaying ASD traits right now by rambling. And it's not even one of my FAVOURITE movies i've actually looked into, like the making of, behind the scenes! But I rate it as very good '90s cinema classic. Certainly one of the top 10 movies of '94.

^Lestat was the one who turned Louis, as a human Louis was an alcoholic not caring whether he lived or died. Lestat saved him in a way by turning him.

Yeah I know Lestat turned him, I just could'nt remember exactly how. I remember at the end he (Louis) talks about sunsets, seeing them in the cinema for the first time in a few hundreds years. 8)

There's a time to go to bed???? :tired:


Random Truth: Another tv show I loved, as a kid, X-FILES. Big crush on :heart: Gillian Anderson :heart: Forensic investigator Dana Scully , Fox Mulder was cool with me too, his obsession with ufos, Skinner, their boss, was the badass who saved them occasionally,his boss, The smoking man, evil yet compelling, always plotting, the lone gunman, always entertaining, representing for the nerd/geek demographic. Yeah I watched even up until they replaced Duchovony, with the guy from T2, ( the liquid metal man.)

It was very popular in this country, in late 90's. I think everybody watched it, it was on mainstream tv ; BBC2. Also on SKY (satellite) It's funny how, Mulder was the far out one, going on hunches believing in paranormal, while Scully was the cold rational analytical one, skeptic. Completely breaking with tv gender stereotypes. Show had a great dynamic. Of course , part of the shows success had the do with the lead characters, who were deemed to be HOT, and lusted over by various demographics. They were on many magazine covers, and something of a pop culture phenomenon for a brief while.

I didn't watch that but i agree about Gillian Anderson. I also loved her in Hannibal, best character as a classy psychiatrist.

I haven't seem Hannibal. (For a moment I was like, she was in a movie with Anthony Hopkins? ) I don't watch many shows nowadays. I know she did a show where she's a Sex Therapist.

Talking of TV shows, I used get up early, like 6:00am to watch Sesame street, But I was little bit older than the target demographic..it's aimed at Nursery age kids, kids learning to spell, and here I am 10,11 years old, lol. I guess I liked the fast pace, colorful characters. I watched a lot of cartoons, tv, movies at that age.

I wear trackpants (hasn't been hot for some reason and no need for a belt), a plain white or black t-shirt, the same hat if I'm in the sun (near-albino) and sandals or boots depending on the situation, basically everywhere. If it works, it works. The pocket knife I carry will likely cost more. :P I have some watches, but they're also stuck in time like me. I pay zero attention to my physical appearance outside of hygiene. Which I don't really think is all that odd, but it might point to my personality in some way.

I'm not embarrassed to admit I stitch up holes in said trackpants and shirts.

I do not usually have trouble identifying or recognizing my emotions, but I still often have trouble expressing them in any way. I also am far more empathetic than most NTs indicate they actually are, but usually have trouble expressing that in any way, either.

Emotions are like water, (that's a apt metaphor) and the body is the boiler, things heat up, and it has to be dissipated somehow, depending on the emotions that are bubbling up, to much pressure inside and they have to released. Literally "letting off steam." Either explosively like anger, stress, or energetically like joy, it can get translated into kinetic energy, or they flood you internally, weighing you down on the inside like the more depressive emotions.

I can feel alot of things depending on the situation, and sometimes it can be hard to get out of your system.

I've never watched porn.
Except for a brief viewing at a friend's house party
Before I went outside to smoke.
I was in my teens.
I do like arty type erotica though.

Currently I feel like a child about to be caught doing something naughty.
