 … saying to him “You're going to die up there”?
The only guests at the party that she didn't meet were the senator and Mary Jo Perrin's son, Robert. So, Chris introduced Regan to him and probably told her he was an astronaut.
Sof,
There's the dialogue exchange between the astronaut and Father Dyer, but that's it. I just always assumed Regan met the astronaut or the line wouldn't have made sense in the film. However, I didn't know she was not introduced to Mary Jo or Robert. We do get that shot of Regan laughing during the party to let us know she's there before she goes to bed and then comes back to say her line and pee on the floor. BTW, Regan's line and actions are pretty intriguing. Blair delivered the line very deadpan and it can make one wonder if she was walking in her sleep or if it was the first sign of the possession. Perhaps the demon could see the future and delightfully gave the astronaut the forewarning of his impending death.

I'm thinking it's the latter, Father Bowdern.  That she was displaying early signs of possession. (After all, the demon was causing her to urinate and defecate herself constantly in the novel….that was one of the extremities that they didn't seem to want to cover too much in the movie version….probably would've been just a bit much. :) )
FatherB, you misunderstood me. 😉 I meant that the only guests who Regan didn't meet were Robert and the senator. She did meet Mary Jo, they had a creepy moment together, don't you remember?
Well, cheesecake! I wrote a post and it's not on here. Anyway, Sof, I always know you're right on the novel. Steve, my reply that's not on here was about Pazuzu controlling Regan at all times.

This happened also to me … I mean, to write a post that disappears … Besides, I lost for the third time the novel. It is the only book I lost in my life, and strangely I never found the copies anymore. Isn’t it crazy?
About defecating… For sure it wouldn’t have worked on the film because people start immediately to laugh … since you have to produce a sound in order to let them understand what is happening. Or you have to show the job done, but most of the people can’t even look at it. They could have talked about it, but again, it brings people to laugh …
hammer,
There must in ghosts in our PCs. I think we have to wait until the posting finishes which can take forever with my broadband server. So now I just write things in MS Word and move them over here. If they don't show up, I re-paste them (if I can remember to save them).
Yes, I think the defecating part would have been too much for WB to put on film. The vaginal crucifix stabbing scene was way over the top and I don't think anyone at WB wanted to tempt fate that much. They were lucky to get the crucifix scene because of Jack Valenti and the Catholic leaders who stood beside that nasty little feat.
Father Bowdern
It's funny, but I never even thought that Regan had been introduced to the astronaut before saying that to him… That's what made it creepy for me. If she did meet him before and knew he'd go up there to the moon then it makes us wonder whether or not she was under the influence of a demon or simply sleepwalking…

Father, Sophia … LOL
I really don't know how it could happen … They simply disappear and I never find them again … For sure they are hidden somewhere, but it is strange, isn't it?
Besides, with my Pats and Frou Frou there is no chance for rats in the house …
