I just watched "Queen of the Damned" entirely for the Paul McGann content, and got assaulted by a brilliant soundtrack and more homoerotic goths than I knew what to do with. It wasn't supposed to be any good, dammit! And now this. For which I have no words.

I'm not sure that I have very much to add to this.

Jon Davies' soundtrack was awesome, Stewart Townsend was pretty, and Marius was amusing, my brain has thankfully blanked out everything else about that hideous travesty of a film.

Despite not being a Rice-person, I just looked it up on wiki and the first sentence of the summary was: "The vampire Lestat is awakened from decades of slumber by the sound of a rock band, which he proceeds to take over as lead singer".

I'm sold.

The thing that always amazes me is that I read the book at about 14 and it didn't occur to me until years and years later how ridiculous it was.

... is that actually Camelot? The respectable (though completely absurd) musical? Duuuude. *pokes YouTube in hope of further videos of this production*

OMG! Queen of the Damned.

Other dancers I know sometimes make fun of me for this, but I loved the fake-belly-dance. If you thought about how jerky and non-fluid Akasha's movements would have to be after 5K years of sitting still, and then put that kind of muscle stiffness onto a belly-dancer, I bet it would look just like that.

On the one hand, I don't think the actress was doing that on purpose. On the other hand, it was absolutely perfect for the character.

Also, yes. Pretty, ambiguous men.
