I agree, timestamping a timeless film would send the audience down the wrong path. ‘Present Day’ would be OK, but usually you only put such things on the screen when you’ve spent time in the past… that never happens in The Exorcist.
I am preparing the new-look captainhowdy.com behind the scenes and keeping updates on Twitter. If you have an account, please follow. If not, create one quick!

News will usually hit twitter before posted on the main page, such is the nature of the service.
Looking forward to following you!
Captain.
Father, I thought this was common knowledge? Friedkin touches on it in his atrocious DVD commentary and it is well suggested (though not blatant) in the book. Hmm. I really should do a write-up as part of the new site.
fatherbowdern, The Exorcist only won 2 Oscars out of its 10 nominations in 1974. They were for:
Best Sound: Robert Knudson & Christopher Newman, and Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium: William Peter Blatty

Ghetto, you ALWAYS could, or you just now only see the dummy since you learned that’s what was used? I’m the same…
I definitely have the images on file. I will dig them up and post them as soon as I get back to my desktop PC. The original posts will also be added to the full archive here soon.
It’s achieved with the exposure of the film. The Director of Photography can select what level of light moves through his lens and hits the film per frame, thus affecting things such as brightness, color, etc. Much easier to do today with video technology where you can see exactly what you are ‘filming’ on the fly. Back in the day you didn’t know what you had shot until you got the film back from the lab, so being Director of Photography became a real important craft.
