Done!
http://legion.theninthconfiguration.com/film/inconsistencies/
One more correspondence added, too:
http://www.theninthconfiguration.com/blatty/correspondences/
In a scene from The Ninth Configuration, Cutshaw says the following:
“Animals are innocent. Why should they suffer? Why should children suffer? Will you tell me that? Why should any baby have to suffer, and die?”
“Why should men?”
“Oh, come on, now. Don’t try that one on me. You’ve got answers for it! Like ‘pain makes people noble.’ And ‘how could man be more than a talking, tennis-playing panda bear if it weren’t, at least, for the possibility of suffering?’ But what about animals, Hud? Does pain make turkeys noble? Why is all of creation based on dog-eat-dog, and the little fish are eaten by the big fish? Animals screaming in pain; all of creation an open wound, a fucking slaughterhouse!”
In the Legion novel, the following is written, once again mentioning the “panda” metaphor:
Kinderman wondered if it were possible for a man to be a man without pain, or at least the possibility of pain. Would he not be no more than a chess-playing panda bear? Could there be honor or courage or kindness? A god who was good could not help but intervene upon hearing the cry of one suffering child. Yet He didn’t. He looked on. But was that because man had asked him to look on? Because man had deliberately chosen the crucible in order to be able to be man, before time began and the fiery firmaments had been flung?
I uploaded a TNC out-take, because I adore it so much:
That reminds me! I wish we could get some outakes from E and E3. That would be awesome! I best not watch this one right now… Note to self: Buy the frickin’ movie!!!
Buy it now. Or tomorrow. 🙂
As regards Exorcist III out-takes: what about all that footage we saw in the E! True Hollywood Story? If those backstage footage clips exist, there is bound to be more, no…?
Also, just added another correspondence:
The following is written on page 121 of the paperback Legion novel:
A short, stout nurse waddled into the room. Her eyes had the toughness of a veteran’s. She was carrying a rubber tourniquet and a hypodermic syringe. She moved toward Dyer.
“Come to take a little blood from you, Father.”
In the unreleased trailer, the demonic voice is heard to say the same line, which was not included in the final cut of the film.

Ryan, if you have any screencaps of Jason could you send them to me please? I’m trying to make a fan site! Ok if I use pics from here at my new site? I asked on off topic discussion, but you said you don’t go there too often. 😛 And anyone who has something to add is welcome. I need all the help I can get! 😀
Most definitely. The next update to TNC.com will be the image galleries for TNC and The Exoricst III. I’ll be sure to take as many caps of Miller as possible.
Meanwhile, I jazzed-up my YouTube channel to match TNC.com:
Oh God, I abhor that screen cap thing. Before I had classic WMP I’d make screencaps and close the player and have a blank pic! Bah. Thanks 🙂
