So did I :/. You have to take in account that last time I saw Interview with a Vampire was about 5 or 6 years ago, when I was going through my vampires are awesome stage of life (Srsly, I was in love with the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I think I saw every episode at least like 6 times if not more, especially season 2, I know sad). I'll watch it again and see if I still enjoy it as much as I did back then, i'll have to find and hook up the laser disc player though.

it's worth the money just to read what he wrote originally but I have read the normal version so many times that that version is the one i'm used to.
