ParticipantIt’s been about 6 months. like you I’m holding out for the blu ray.
But even when i get that I may have to wait longer. I’m in the process of moving (have been for months) and my amp and speakers are in one house whilst my TV and player are in another.
There’s no way i can watch it until the components are all together.Jagged
ParticipantThe Dutch are warm, pleasant, easy going and possessed of a fine sense of humour.
Nothing wrong with you at all. One of my favourite nations.Jagged
ParticipantI really like it. Much better layout, got some breathing space on my monitor now rather than all being cramped over one side.

ParticipantI think the truth is at that age Linda was not an accomplished enough actress to put across such subtle emotional inflection. It was plainly an awful lot to ask a 12 year old to carry such a complex movie, so it was probably wise to simplify the character.
I also think the quality of her acting had a lot to do with some of the scenes that were excised from the movie by Friedkin before release. Doctor’s Office etc.
Reading between the lines of what was being said at the press conference regarding “knowing when the film was something special” I have a suspicion that there was some trepidation on everyone’s part as to the success of the piece until Mercedes McCambridge came on board. It goes some way to explaining why Friedkin was frantically editing right up to the last minute before release.Jagged
ParticipantI slept through Batman and Robin three times.
But who wouldn’t?Jagged
ParticipantWe don’t get it until the 11th here in the UK, so no spoiling it for me now people 😉

ParticipantI hate lists, I always end up thinking of something else that should have been on it 5 minutes after I’ve posted. But I guess these are pretty much it for me.
The Exorcist
The Haunting
The Innocents
Rosemary’s Baby
The Legend of Hell HouseI would have had Alien on there but it’s Sci-Fi in my book, but hey ho it’s a fantastic movie.

Participant1, 4, 6 and 10 I could agree with. But “Saw” and “Event Horizon” disturbing? Please.

ParticipantThat Regan bust is just fantastic. Is that this kit with some alterations?

If so your skills are pretty remarkable and I’m going to have to grab myself one and remodel it in a similar vein.

ParticipantYes it’s the broadcast version can’t remember offhand how long exactly, but it comes in at under 80 mins which makes no sense for a UK time slot but there you go. Want a copy?
Jagged
ParticipantIt would seem my message box doesn’t work so better to email me.

Ooops. trade page:
Oh there’s far too much stuff on there I want…

ParticipantOops I clean forgot. Yes I have it.
It’s not a perfect copy by any means and there are a few blips as it’s from a VHS. Amusingly it only runs a few minutes longer than the DVD documentary which shows that my memory must be crap after all 😉 Comes as a 2 disk set with “The Curse of the Exorcist” and “Didn’t You Used to be Satan?”Anyway, anyone wants it drop me private message with your address and I will run you off a copy for the price of postage paid to my paypal account.

ParticipantTo make Karras wonder if she was truly possessed, crazy as a box of frogs or just faking it.
If you read the passage in the book it follows Karass’ train of thought as he questions Regan and she answers him. the demon seemingly reads his mind during the process and switches language and level of vocabulary to confound him. -
