Late evening library dash to collect two reservations I've been waiting for in high anticipation for some time.

#IWTV props auction continues to surface all sorts of gems (albeit unintentional, I'm sure!) From the lot with Claudia's diaries and entry pages (vm.tiktok.com/ZNRuuSx7r/) a close-up of another doc shows detail and attention to detail for her vampire search vs geographical accuracy. This show! 🤩
Who has had a rougher journey - Lestat or the robe?! ✨ 1st pic: www.moviestillsdb.com/tv/interview... 2nd: www.imdb.com/name/nm55662... #IWTV #lestat #samreid
Your honour, they're the same picture... Two cutie patooties pointing at pictures of their co-stars behind the scenes #TheRingsOfPower #IWTV
Awww, how lovely! Little Bilbo 😍 Thanks for organizing the whole fundraising event, the Tolkien community is smashing it with the various campaigns 🙌🏼
Tolkien Creatives for Palestine@troptwtcharity.bsky.social · last yr.Congrats to our winner @popcultweasel.bsky.social !
It was a nice Rings of Power reunion too, with Peter Mullan mentioning that they were already friends from "the Lord of the Rings thing, where Rob played a Tory Elf" 😂 Forgive the blurry photos, the cinema had crap low lighting, but forewarned is FOREARMed (hello Elrond! 😏)
Pop Culture LouWeasel@popcultweasel.bsky.social · last yr.I SWEAR is so good! Great mix of hilarious and emotional. Robert Aramayo gives an absolutely brilliant performance (his Scottish accent is spot on!), with Peter Mullan, Maxine Peale and Scott Ellis Watson (younger John) fab too. Great Q&A incl the real John Davidson after.

Kicked off Edinburgh Fringe with new Hannah Moscovitch play RED LIKE FRUIT at the Trav. Really great, interrogating sexual assault and sexual harm and personal perceptions thereof. Challenges the audience, makes them subtly complicit - you're asked what you feel/believe, and why.
It's heeeeere!! #TheRingsOfPower lives! I love when we get a wee peek at making off/BTS stuff. S3 production has felt quiet so far, all behind closed doors, so good to know they're cooking!
Sorry Lestat, but turns out some other long blonde haired rockers will be having an epic show in New Orleans! 🤘🏼🥁🕚 Now I want a Vampire Lestat / Spinal Tap double bill! The ultimate rock clowns youtu.be/hxkZ7krBzA8?... #iwtv #spinaltap

I know they'll add more, and I was too casual about checking, but still seems wild that the first 70mm BFI IMAX screenings for The Odyssey are already sold out. OVER A YEAR IN ADVANCE! 😆
So glad that Filmhouse has reopened in Edinburgh, it's been missed. Cinema Paradiso on the big screen as their opening film was fab. Remembered the last thing I saw there before they closed... eps 1 and 2 of S1 on The Rings of Power! Mad to think (also, pls do some S3 in cinemas Amazon!)
Was interested to see what Jonathan Anderson was going to do at Dior, wasn't expecting a (no doubt eye-wateringly expensive) Dracula tote! The vampire renaissance is going high end
Tickets secured for The People Speak @edbookfest.bsky.social - gonna be in the same room as Viggo Mortensen this August 😍 (Not to mention icon Vanessa Redgrave too!) But ngl, it's my decades long Aragorn love that's most thrilled today!
Interview With The Vampire cathedrals everywhere, for those with eyes to see... The morning sun was casting weird shapes and light through the tops of my curtains earlier, felt quite of a piece with yesterday's imagery! #iwtv
Congrats to Michelle Lim Davidson and Marg Downey for their Logie noms, and #TheNewsreader overall for Best Drama, but it's crazy to get no nominations for Leads (altho Anna Torv got a nom for Territory, which seems to be dominating) Sam Reid went to incredible places in that role!
This is a great interview with Rolin Jones - I love that he doesn't really hold back (this show is yappers all the way down!). There's never been any doubt, but the levels of care, consideration and quality that goes into IWTV... 🥹 www.indiewire.com/awards/consi...
Rolin Jones Knew ‘Interview with the Vampire’ Season 2 Nailed It When He Saw Jacob Anderson’s Dramatic Transformation

Matthew Santos (producer, singer, performer) who's working with Daniel Hart and Sam Reid on #iwtv music/songs this season, posted this from Toronto (that's the word cut off at the start) - he's promising us a BONKERS season! He seems genuinely psyched for it - adding to my hype levels!
Book Festival programme is so big it's taken me til end of the day to realise that Viggo will be there too!! 😍 The ticket queue is going to be an even bigger bun fight than usual come on-sale day! www.edbookfest.co.uk/the-festival...

Yessss, V.E. Schwab at the Edinburgh book festival, as I'd hoped (was so annoyed I missed out on tickets for her Traverse event end of this month). Bring on the Louis/Lestat inspired lesbian vampires, love story, and feminine rage! #BuryOurBones www.edbookfest.co.uk/the-festival...

This cast... 🥹 I was obsessed with Hamilton back in the day, and the way I can still name everyone in this photo ten years later! Very excited for the OBC reunion performance at the Tony's tomorrow #HamilTEN
New Dracula! Surprise Luc Besson, with Caleb Landry Jones looking suitably deranged as the Count (and Christoph Waltz v/o as Priest), apparently the focus is more on his 'lost love'. No UK or US distribution yet, just France and Germany youtu.be/w05UztF-3xY?...

A new Hannah Moscovitch play, RED LIKE FRUIT, coming to the Trav for Edinburgh Fringe?! Well now, consider that my first August show booked. How exciting!
Traverse Theatre@traversetheatre.bsky.social · last yr.Red Like Fruit (European Premiere) by Hannah Moscovitch, directed by Christian Barry Lauren asks Luke to narrate her life, but why? An interrogation of the complexities of complicity, consent, patriarchy and trauma in the post #MeToo era. #TravFest25 www.traverse.co.uk/whats-on/eve...
Lovely interview, with questions that are allowed to breathe, Jacob gives us so much to consider in return! #iwtv
Kelli Boyle@kellixboyle.bsky.social · last yr.Surprise! I had a long talk with Jacob Anderson about #InterviewWithTheVampire Season 2 to unpack Louis' beautifully complicated mind. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did ❤️ #iwtv www.tvinsider.com/1193936/inte...
