(Well, movie, singular.)
Y'know, Queen of the Damned *could* have been a semi-good movie (although nothing like the book) if they had only cast someone who could actually act in the role of Jesse. Stuart Townsend does a perfectly acceptable job as a spoiled, self-indulgent vampire who wants to be a rock star. The guy playing Marius? Campy fun. Aaliyah as Akasha? Works. But oh lord, that actress playing Jesse. Dearie, dearie me.
It would also be a better movie if they had gotten a band other than Korn to provide the music for Lestat's band, but I freely admit that I hate the voice of Korn's vocalist. A lot.

In other news, I have decided to wear an almost entirely white outfit when I go out dancing with the Stunt Husband tonight. Because I CAN. The question is, black lipstick or dark wine lipstick?
