I agree with everything Granville said. I also think Clara was better – cuter – looking than Iza.. who looked too old in Exorcist: The Beginning. Though I do think Iza did a fantastic job in ETB. Her and Stellan are what make the film worth watching.
Once you see her possessed scenes you will think again about this fan cut. The scenes would be completely out of place in Dominion, and just make no sense at all. Sarah dry-humps Merrin, crawls along the walls, runs down a cave like some silly CG monster from Scooby Doo, and a load of other silly things that just wouldn’t work in Dominion. Not to mention the whole church set is different, young Joseph is is most of the scenes, and Iza looks completely different to Clara Bellar
Not only would it be extremely out of place but Sarah isn’t even in Dominion.
My trilogy is the same!
Oh no, not this crap again!
I can’t believe Dave hasn’t given up with that trash yet. And he still has those silly images up I made him… he doesn’t seem to understand that they suck and we all laughed at him for actually liking and using them.
1. The Exorcist (Original)
2. The Exorcist (Version Youve Never Seen)
3. Dominion: Prequel To The Exorcist
4. The Exorcist III
5. Exorcist: The Beginning
6. Exorcist II (Theatrical Version)
7. Exorcist II (John Boorman Re-Cut)The crucifix thing isn’t a goof or something. If someone put it there before, they can put it there again. It’s supposed to be a mystery, though I say it was Karl.
Most people can’t spot the wires holding up Linda, so maybe the editors or whoever didn’t notice them either. I can spot them easily though..
“I just hope that James Robinson Dosn’t get any ideas.”
It’s better him using other’s ideas than his own!! 😛
I have to admit I haven’t even see the Godfather, but I’m working on changing that.
To me The Exorcist will always be the greatest film ever made, though Night Of The Living Dead, Carrie, & BOTH King Kong films come close.
It’s definitely more obvious in the novel, which I also need to read again.
“Honey, who’s Captain Howdy?”“Oh, ya know. I make questions and he does the answers.”
“Oh?”
“Oh, he’s nice.”
Chris tried not to frown as she felt a dim and sudden concern. The child had loved her father deeply, yet never had reacted visibly to her parents’ divorce. And Chris didn’t like it. Maybe she cried in her room; she didn’t know. But Chris was fearful she was repressing and that her emotions might one day erupt in some harmful form. A fantasy playmate. It didn’t sound healthy. Why “Howdy”? For Howard? Her father? Pretty close.
“So how come you couldn’t even come up with a name for a dum-dum bird, and then you hit me with something like ‘Captain Howdy’? Why do you call him ‘Captain Howdy’?”
” ‘Cause that’s his name, of course,” Regan snickered.
“Says who?”
“Well, him.”
As for it being Pazuzu and not just something she made up herself, that all comes down to if Regan was really possessed or not, which can be questioned in the novel but not so much in the film.
She’d been sitting in the kitchen, Chris told the doctors, when Regan ran screaming down the stairs and to her mother, cowering defensively behind her chair as she clutched Chris’s arms and explained in a terrified voice that Captain Howdy was chasing her; had been pinching her; punching her; shoving her; mouthing obscenities; threatening to kill her.
