A SUNDAY KIND OF LOVE. jason dean with “i watch the moon, let it run my mood. can’t stop thinking of you.” ❤️‍🩹

you hadn't seen jd in weeks. well, a week. six days, to be more exact, but you’d always been one for dramatics.

you're not even entirely sure why he'd left, sure he'd told you in his convoluted way of telling you things, and surer that you'd let it pass you by in favor of reveling in the feel of him beside you.

still, your room was cold without him there to keep you company.

the window beside your bed stayed cracked, just a hair, because it creaked the worst when it was being unlatched and you didn't want your parents hearing when jd snuck in in the middle of the night. now, despite however much you attempted to busy yourself with other things, the only thing you could think to do was stare out at the moon behind the panes. the full, heavy, milk-white moon that taunts you with the idle knowledge of another night passing without him.

[fairyysoup]

this man is obviously going to wear the absolute most hideous rancid looking outfits you've ever seen in your entire life and i'm so ready to sexualize the shit out of him for it

marmalade officially wrapped. we get to meet him soon 🙏🏼

This is horrible, tho. Imagine all the people who put such hard work into this show…only for it to a frigging tax write off.

And, yes, I know they all still got paid, but it must be so disheartening. Especially for all the child actors who had to take time off from school/leave home for a tv show they assumed would help their long term career.

Same thing happened to the lead girl from the Batgirl film. Her career was on the rise and she turned down a lot of other promising projects to do the film. And look how that worked out.

Brad Pitt's fang test shots for Interview with the Vampire (1994) dir. Neil Jordan

I found this and then I thought, bro was he originally supposed to play Lestat? And Tom Cruise fought his way in? Because I can see Christian Slater as Louis and it would explain him being in the movie in the first place. The Interviewer role, or Daniel Molloy as we know him as now, was a small role most actors of the time could have played.

Christian Slater wasn't small potatoes in 1994. And That freewheeling Lestat vibe was totally Brad Pitts style, and still is. No wonder he felt miscast.

But "OFFICIALLY" Brad Pitt was never offered the role of Lestat, but who knows what's true in Hollywood?

Now I am stuck imagining the world where that was the cast of the movie.

Can you imagine being one of the people who read queen of the dammed between the years 1994 and 2022 so your devil’s minion is christian slater and antonio banderas banging it out in the florida keys

Who is your favorite and least favorite IWTV series, movie, and book character and why?

Hey nonny!

(There's two ways of reading your question, so I'm just gonna answer both versions^^)

My favorite is the new IWTV series, the revamping (ha, pun^^), of the characters, arcs, books in and by themselves while keeping the important bits and elevating it all to art is breathtaking. I love how clever it is, how much it subverts some tropes, how it plays with the meta level by giving us the books Louis reads, or what is laying around in the set behind characters. Hints over hints, and every friggin' line counts. Show of the decade, truly.

I will always love the 1994 movie, since it was what introduced me to the Chronicles, I cannot tell you the state I was in after I came home from the theater. I watched it daily as soon as I could get it on tape, I shit you not. (Easily Tom Cruise's best performance, too, imho, as a note^^)

And I waited years for the sequel... only to get Queen of the Damned. Ahem.

I am sorry, but that has to be my least favorite of it all, though Aaliyah was breathtaking. And the soundtrack was good.

Now character-wise...interestingly enough book-Louis came to mind immediately. He is (probably) my least favorite. And I say that as a fan *laughs* He is just... IDK. I know the history behind it, and I know the pain Anne must have been in (and which I do not dare to imagine), and I know why she had to leave him behind... but even though he has his reasons, too, they never really resonated with me. And neither did his backstory. As a vessel he works very well, because he is empty in IWTV, or he feels so for me, but as a character I do not feel him.

Thankfully the show version has completely eclipsed him for me, and I can finally enjoy who Louis truly is and who he will become - quite the feat I have to say, and I love, love, LOVE them for it.

All in all Lestat is probably the character who is my favorite though, not the least because he can be so capricious. There are... parallels to my own life, parallels the show will yet touch upon in future seasons. When I read The Vampire Lestat I felt those in my bones. It doesn't matter here if show, 1994 movie or book, though of course Sam... IS Lestat now. ^^ Season 1, filtered through Louis' (influenced) POV was only a hint after all, and... Lestat is yet to fully appear.

I do not really have characters that I don't like in the show - every character they have is very well cast, and very poignant in their function for the story, even the repugnant ones. They vibe. Maybe there will be a future show character I do not like in and by "themselves", but... I actually doubt it. They're so terrific at casting.

In the movie it is the same, on the contrary, I always remember here that Christian Slater jumped in for the late River Phoenix, and donated his salary, so there is always a warm feeling when watching him. For example. Antonio Banderas did have the gravitas and managed to... insinuate at least.^^ And watching that scene with the girl on stage in the theater, totally unprepared was something else. There was no sound in the theater. NONE. Absolutely breathtaking.

Now QotD of course... (the movie). Where should I start *laughs*. I said it before, but maybe the best thing that came of it was Sam getting into the VC through it. The worst was probably Armand there, lol. Not sure if he ever says anything in the theater cut (I know there were scenes cut), but... just...

So yeah.

Show characters and show have taken over^^. Will continue to take over, too, I bet. I cannot wait.

I know I'm VERY late to the Mr. Robot fandom, but can we just take a minute to appreciate Christian Slater as Mr. Robot?

He's able to pull off such an incredible range of emotions throughout the course of the show, making Mr. Robot, a character who could be easy to hate, endearing and loveable. By nature, Mr. Robot as a character is turbulant and violent, which could make him difficult to love, but the way Christian played him is too ridiculously charismatic to truly hate, and it's made clear through his interactions with Elliot that he has good intentions for him at heart (after all he is the protector).

But yep, here's some gifs I found showcasing this amazing man and character and the emotional range he's got:

~Crazy, threatening, manic ~

~Concerned, Fearful~

~Confused~

~And of course, sad yet loving~

But in all seriousness, watching this show for a third time has reminded me how incredibly talented Christian is, and I'm so, so glad he was able to bring Mr. Robot to life. I genuinely can't imagine anyone else doing Mr. Robot justice.

BROTHER.

BRITISH JD OR AMERICAN JD.

QUICK. 🗣️🗣️🗣️

American. I've never seen British JD and school chain stabbings aren't as edgy as what JD tried to do. Grins

(Seriously, could you imagine if JD had pulled a knife in his introductory scene instead of a REVOLVER? THAT HE THEN FIRED? That's not anywhere near as crazy!)

Also I love OG cast JD. Christian Slater did an incredible job in the OG film and Ryan McCartan did a STUNNING job in his Off-Broadway role (and was also the singer for the official album).

[bluemusickid]

Marcus Moreno was the OG DILF and I would do ANYTHING to be railed into oblivion by him.

Him making breakfast?? EXQUISITE

Him single handedly fighting an evil killing machine?? PANTY GUSHING

This video of him always MAKES. ME. MELT BECAUSE HE'S SO GOOD W KIDS AND HE LOOKS SO SOFT AND FLUFFY AND DAD LIKE AND UGH😭😭😭🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶✨️💀💢💀💢💀

*takes a deep breath* i'm okay. I'm okay.

(He makes me skip Christian Slater's part. Can you imagine? Me skipping paat JD's parts?!?)

[thesoulbound]

The way I lmfao’ing over Christian Slater in “Rites of Passage” and and and trying hard - but not hard enough - not to imagine JD “Heathers” surviving and continuing being a nutcase -dies laughing-

Guess who has two thumbs and only barely got out of bed in time to do this?

"Previously on Quantum Leap: Remember that relationship bullshit?"

And Ben winds up in Yellow Filter Egypt.

And Ben does the smart thing and immediately finds a wallet.

"You see that pyramid? That's how you know we filmed on location."

How much do you want to bet they didn't cut anything, and Raymond Lee actually did walk until the sun started going down?

"1961. You want an actual date. Fuck you."

There's a different world where that man slightly raising his newspaper was supposed to mean he wanted Ben to fuck off.

"When are we meeting?" "1PM" ...yeah, you're kinda late, there...

Ben, you've technically been a spy at least three times by now (fourth if you count undercover cops).

And cut to the life Ben should be living, just to tighten the screws.

And of course Tommy's about to propose. How much do you wanna bet that's getting flushed too?

Ian, you know damn well what she means by "a ring", don't be coy.

"You've never leapt out of the country before. It took Sam four seasons to get to Egypt."

Addison, not for nothing, but leaping is technically the same as espionage, given how you described it.

Yes, keep loudly talking to ghosts in the middle of the trailing mission, that never ends poorly.

["That's right, you sit there for a minute, and you think about how you fucked up, son."]

You got bluffed by a Zippo, Ben, you are bad at this.

Yeah, I'm willing to bet we ain't leaving Egypt this leap, ma'am...

"The traitor from your embassy." ...not to get conspiracy theory-y, but given how Ben's waitress friend returns this episode...

"Nomad's a myth." Confirmed. [Inside joke.]

I swear to God, I keep thinking this guy is played by Christian Slater, even though he isn't.

Sir, that was a shitty-ass fake sneeze, you better hope no one actually noticed that.

"Ben, you're gonna get fucking killed if you fuck up today. Pep talk over."

Annnnnnnd der she is! Not having aged a day since 1947!

[Seriously, I'm still on the "Hannah is a secret leaper" camp, this is the third episode where she got involved on a leap where Ben was some form of government agent doing some form of government agent shit, there's a connection here...]

[If there's nazis in Egypt this time, I swear to God...]

"I waited a long time to see you." ...it's been six years, though. Last time, it took you 8.

"How do you feel?" "Alive. Waiting for renewal."

Ben, I'm willing to bet Hannah is the reason you're here, and not to get conspiracy theory-y, I think we both know what I mean by that...

"...Hannah, my hologram-ex just indirectly gave us the okay to pretend to be married this leap, you in?"

"Darling, are you enjoying our honeymoon, which we are both on?" "Yes, we are definitely married and on our Egypt honeymoon, this is natural conversation."

Well, Ben, maybe you can slip in the backdoor and undo your fuckup...

Ben continues to suck at Metal Gear Solid, so in comes Suddenly Southern Hannah.

I am actually fucking impressed that this gong show worked.

"Okay, kid, you scored." That terminology existed in 1961?

Hannah, there's 34 minutes left, unless this is a multi-leap episode, you ain't done.

"I told you to photograph the meeting. You sent in a Southern woman, and slipped me a recorder. How did you fuck this up?"

...well, ma'am, to be fair, Ben kinda sucks at this spy shit...

I love how Addison left after Hannah's sales pitch.

Oh, that's because Addison's heart broke, I don't wanna laugh, but dear God, this makes me want to so bad...

Imagine if they decided to hard cut from Ben and Hannah kissing to Addison sobbing in the break room, dear God, this plot twist is so damn funny, I'm trying to not be like this, but dear God...

"No, Ben, you are the nomad." And then, Ben was a zombie- wait.

And cut to Addison getting drunk in Magic's office.

"Be true to your present, Addison." It will be doubly funny if it turns out my theory about them undoing the time skip is still in the cards...

...why does this double-break up feel like Addison telling Ben she quits?

"Like I said, she's a pro." "She's gonna make it." Annnnnnnd three... ...two... ...one...

Ben, time to make like a tree, and get the fuck out of here.

"Look, while you were off having a romantic subplot with that Hannah lady, I had to do my goddamn job, even if that meant blowing Layla's cover!"

Oh, don't fucking tell me we're having Layla be killed offscreen, that's dirty fucking pool, episode...

"Annnd... Fade to black. Whelp, that was a sad way to end it, but hey, maybe people won't mind-" "Frank, there's still 20 minutes left in the episode." "But, I- we- where the fuck do we go after killing Layla?!"

"Maybe this is why we kept crossing paths; sooner or later, I was gonna fuck up big time..."

[And it is around this point I am reminded of them discussing the grandfather paradox during the trailer for this entire {chunk of the} season...]

Addison, don't act like the solution isn't having someone leap into Layla to fix this...

...

...I swear to God...

...

...okay, I am actually annoyed, you don't make us think Layla died offscreen, only to pull the "Just foolin'" card, THAT is dirty fucking pool

Oh, hey, they remembered Ben got a phone number at the start...

And so we have a chase scene in a mosque. But at least the bad guys know to take their shoes off.

And so Ben knocks out that Bill Burr looking motherfucker.

...Ben, you are so close to doing the full Kyle Reese, just say the line properly...

Plot twist, Layla was secretly Hannah, was a shock!

Yeah, get fucked Bill Burr, say bye bye to your car!

"Look, we're sorry about lying about Layla getting killed offscreen, how about we have her drive off into the sunset instead, we good?"

Hannah, call me totally nutty, but I think you'll see Ben again this season.

"I spent more than two dozen leaps looking backwards. From now on, I look forwards" Translation: #RenewThisShowForSeason3.

"So, Ben almost fucked up the leap, but turns out he didn't, that's wanna see me propose?"

...goddamn, this is a plot-twist heavy episode.

["Whelp, we ran out of pre-strike episodes! See ya next year!"]

And to think, I almost missed this one.

[butchybats]

you’re stranded on a desert island with Christian Slater Daniel. what will you do?

Syl I love you so much

I would go woah you’re literally christain slater daniel molloy thats so cool!!!!!! And then we’d gay kiss because we’re both t4t he/him lesbians and id ask to wear his silly little vest and asked him where he shops. Ummm I would make him recite to me the entirety of iwtv and and then i would ask what it was like to be attacked by both louis and lestat like damn how did homie survive that????? And then I’d ask about armand and if devils minion is a thing or if he’s with lestat like can you imagine 1994 iwtv lesdaniel thatd be monumental and then i would hope that we’d get rescued soon after because i don’t want to have to eat him :(

[doyelikehaggis]

If Bobby and Freddie ever got into a romantic relationship.. how do you think both Ian and Peter would react??

Christ. Well, we saw Ian's face when he was scrolling through the pictures of the two of them. A bit surprised, but sort of shrugged it off like "weird, but fair enough." He may be a bit... off about it at first, but I do think he'd come around. He didn't mind Christian. Most of the time. Plus, I think his main problem would be with WHO he's dating more than anything.

"I'm not being homophobic, son, I'm just saying that I know you can do better!" Under his breath, he adds: "Most people can do better than the Slaters."

“Dad, didn’t you sleep with Jean?” Peter rightly points out.

I'm honestly not sure how Peter will react. Every variation of Peter has had a slightly different personality and it has been a while since we've had Thomas, who was the softest Peter (and still seems to be). If it was Dayle playing him, he wouldn't react well. He'd probably be snide about it whenever they had an argument, or make little jabs that upset him. I want to imagine that Thomas's Peter will be softer with him, especially if Ian doesn't react well, but it is hard to tell right now because we haven't had any interaction between Thomas' Peter since before Lucy died. He's a better person now from what we saw in yesterday's episode, and he did say that losing Lucy has made him realize how important other people are, but now that he's closer to Cindy who is obviously still mourning Lucy, I'm not sure what his and Bobby's relationship is going to be like. If they get onto good terms, I think he'll do his best to support him.

[baddingtonbitch]

christian slater's older brother in this movie is played by brad dourif imagine hearing an argument in their house growing up
