On Friday, Only Lovers Left Alive finally opened in Seattle. (You all know what that movie is, right? I don't have to explain?)
The Stroppy One took me to a matinee on opening day, because I have been waiting for this movie for roughly FOREVER. And oh, was it worth the wait. Dreamy, lush, and with a wonderful thread of black humor running through it. Yes, I am going to go see it again -- tonight, actually, with the StuntHusband and the Infamous BlueJay.
My only two minor, teeny-tiny quibbles:
- I wish there had been some actual carnage shown. Because I am that sort of vampire fan, and the idea of seeing Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston get their bloodlust on and devour some hapless victim is VERY APPEALING.
- I also wish there had been historical flashbacks, because hello, I like historical costuming. Historical costuming + vampires = gleeful Jilli.
But those are really minor quibbles with the movie. It's a gorgeous work of art.
And because I am very, VERY predictable, I now want crossover fic of Only Lovers Left Alive with The Hunger. Adam and Eve exchanging icy looks and snippy banter with Miriam and John Blaylock! It would be fabulous.
