Hey, just noticed the “I’ll Tell Them I Remember You” audiobook, alternate “John Goldfarb, Please Come Home!” cover and alternate “Twinkle, Twinkle, “Killer” Kane” cover. Will add them immediately!

Hit refresh.
Where did you find that ITTIRY audio book from, by the way? I’m getting a MASSIVE load of variations here, all saved and un-watermarked. I’ll get onto launching the WPB-specific section of the site this weekend. You’re a treasure, Blizzi!
Perhaps you should create a single thread in which you can consistently post questions to be answered, rather than creating as many as you so far have?
Just discovered a new cover for the ‘Legion’ novel:

Justin, would you be able to remove the eBay watermark from the bottom right hand corner at all?
Hey, thanks for those covers! When I launch the William Peter Blatty section of the website, I’ll be including a list / images of his earlier works. I didn’t know about that “I, Billy Shakespeare!” one.
Incidentally, what is this?
Ha!
By the way, I saved all of those Legion lobby cards you provided (including the rare Nicol Williamson images), categorized them into three folders and archived them as a .rar file. Justin is currently in the process of removing the watermarks as best he can, then I’ll put them in the gallery.
Great find! Some quite rare ones there I haven’t come across before, particularly of Nicol Williamson.
Moreover, anyone here who hasn’t read “Twinkle, Twinkle, “Killer” Kane”, the reworked novel of “The Ninth Configuration” and the subsequent film adaptation of the latter title, go out and purchase the Region 1 US copy DVD, watch the film, then listen to the entire audio commentary with Blatty and Mark Kermode. Then you will understand why me and others are so obsessed with this film. It touches you, and you never forget it. It also helps that Cutshaw is in direct connection with the astronaut from The Exorcist.

It’s always seemed to me that The Exorcist, The Ninth Configuration, and Legion formed a sort of “unofficial” trilogy — with The Ninth Configuration serving as a thematic bridge between the more overt horrors in The Exorcist and the intensely introverted struggles of Kinderman in Legion. Do you view the three novels as a trilogy? If so, why? And if not, why?
Yes, they form — at least in my mind — a trilogy. Taken together, they are all about the eternal questions that nag at Woody Allen: why are we here? what are we supposed to be doing? why do we die? is there a God? The Exorcist approached this last question, which is the heart of all the others, by seeking to confirm the existence of “demons” and the power of religious faith to deal with them. The Ninth Configuration approached the problem via what I call “the mystery of goodness”: if we are reducible to matter without spirit, to soulless atomic structures, then we ought to be always rushing blindly and irresistibly to sereve our own selfish ends. Yet how is it that there is love in this world — love as a God might love — and that a man will give his life for another. The astronaut Cutshaw’s search for irrefutable proof of such pure self-sacrifice forms the underlying plot. But then in Legion, Ivan Karamazov’s greatest barrier to religious faith — the suffering of the innocent: the “problem of evil” — is met head-on by Lt. Kinderman.
That’s brilliant! I really need to buy TCS on DVD.
There are so many connections between people who were affiliated with The Exorcist. Both Miller and Stacy Keach are in The Ninth Configuration, and then Keach appears in Miller’s own bloody film! I need to archive all these facts somewhere at TNC.com in future.
I’d love it. Justin uploaded a 20 mb .wmv version for me before, but I’d adore a higher resolution copy. Size doesn’t matter – I’m on a great connection here. Can you up the huge QuickTime copy somewhere for me to grab?
Edit: Why are they standing in front of an E:TB promotional image? Or were they both at the screening for that shithouse flick?

All pages updated!
Justin, would you be able to remove the watermark from all those Legion ones and forward them to me, like last night?
Your name came up, not the e-mail address. I checked the address itself just now and I see the resemblance. 🙂
Jeeze, I bought a brand new copy of The Roman Ritual for US $499 a month or two ago. Look how much this copy is going for, and it isn’t even in mint condition!
