    SINNERS bests Queen of the Damned as a vampire/music movie, and probably passes From Dusk Till Dawn in the “Vampires overtake a crime movie I was invested in.” The Ryan Coogler machine works. Let him make whatever he wants.

    Queen of the Damned (2002) - an amazing soundtrack attached to a mediocre movie. In 2002, if you had asked me who my favorite bands were I would've said Linkin Park, Static-X, Orgy, Korn, and Disturbed. So finding out there was a movie soundtrack where Jonathan Davis of Korn wrote a bunch of songs about vampires and got the lead singers of Linkin Park, Static-X, Orgy, and Disturbed to sing those songs? I was ecstatic. I loved everything about it. And Marilyn Manson was there too... that's…

    For my BSG book, I'm watching some stuff as research, and I wouldn't call Queen of the Damned a good film but it was entertainingly cheeseball in a very late 90s / early aughts way. Friends rewatch in progress and there's of course some real YIKES but when it was on its A-game, just absolutely slaps

    *Queen of the Damned* was an abysmal movie with a surpassing solid soundtrack with some of the biggest names in music at the time collaborating. Jonathan Davis of Korn wrote half the songs and sang in the movie, but his record contract stated that he couldn't appear on an album put out by another label, so the solution was to bring in guest artists to sing instead. Chester Bennington from Linkin Park, Wayne Static from Static-X, David Draiman from Disturbed, and Jay Gordon from Orgy. If you…

    The Aaliyah would outdo Beyoncé if she was still alive is always gonna fall flat because they both existed in their realms of entertainment at the same time and Aaliyah was also in her own lane as she was venturing off into the film industry too.

    If I'm not mistaken, this is the opening to Interview with the Vampire, which was turned into a movie with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. The name Lestat was also used in the film Queen of the Damned for the main vampire protagonist IIRC.

    I once had a running gag with a woman I knew so that whenever they got up from a movie to get snacks or use the restroom I would very quickly change it to the Korn-fueled concert from Queen of the Damned, which is the most 90s thing ever filmed. So whenever she hit play again? This happened.

    The ‘90s comics visualized the Vampire Lestat’s Halloween night concert perfectly. The Queen of the Damned movie totally made it look lame and cheapo CW looking, but judging from everything I’ve seen, the TV series will have the glam rock vibe of the comics.

    Queen of the Damned- If you can believe it, I watched this *before* Interview with the Vampire. Few contrasts have ever been as stark. A true mess of a movie. Baffling pacing, straight-washed to death with two romantic leads with the least amount of chemistry every on film, and still Aliyah shines.

Tom Cruise seems like he is having the time of his life. Kirsten Dunst delivers an all-timer performance.
