Thanks, FatherB! You're very kind. <3

DOCSAP,

It's strange but I can't seem to find a link to your preservation HD on The pirate pay.

Edit

Never mind, I just found it!! 😀

I'm kinda partial to the blue hue that was given to the 25th Anniversary and beyond editions.  Before reading DocSap's article I wasn't aware of any changes made prior to the 25th Anniversary.  Where did you get this information?

I admire your dedication but having looked at the screen grabs and not just actually seeing the whole film, I don't know if I would accept the old/new way it looks.  I grew up on the 25th Anniversary of the film so that's the version I prefer. 

The 2000 version had its problems for sure…side note I have been complaining about one particular quick cut of the Pazuzu statue in Regan's room in the middle of the film…I even posted an altered version of the scene that I edited onto Youtube and to my surprise it wasn't in the Bluray version…so maybe great minds think alike…

Anyways, it looks like DocSap's version is a bit on the dark side.  There may have been audience complaints and the studio caved and wanted the prints altered and lightened for the re-release.  If I remember correctly, there was similar problem with the 1989 Batman.

I definitely would be interested in seeing those 2 supplemental features that you included.  Any chance they would make their way onto Youtube?

Greetings all!

 

Sadly, I too was too late to grab the good Doctor's version, but there is another fan edit out there called “Exorcist: The Genesis Of Pazuzu”, and it runs just over 6 hours. It's an interesting concept, an edit of all five films in chronological order, but it can be a chore to get through.

 

My apologies if this has been discussed before, but I'm new to the board.
