Ryan,
An unknown couple walk past the MacNeil house in Georgetown and Regan’s bedroom light is turned off (or on… it’s been a while for me, too!)I’ll be getting it regardless of the print. It’s the special features that are the selling point for me.
So, the new just dropped that the print being used will be The Version You’ve Never Seen… I can personally say I’m a little disappointed, I was hoping to at least have the option to watch the original. I guess we should have known.
DRATS I missed my December deadline. So what else is new, Captain?
I have found a suitable forum plugin and am just getting this ready to roll it all out in one swooping hit. New sections, new format, new categories, new forum… I continue to underestimate how much work is required!
More details very soon.
Yer I posted this on the homepage 5 days ago… are you one of those who only bookmarks the forum, Ryan? It’s exciting news, to say the least! I hope they pull out many, many features for this release.
That’s OK father, let me elaborate as simply as I can and explain a few things to help you out which the changes that will be occurring:
First of all, nothing is happening on the 8th of December. I typed that these changes would happen ‘December 08’, meaning December 2008. Closer to the new year.
I think your confusion has a lot to do with your understanding of ‘blog’. A blog entry is a news item I post on the main page. These are stored in a certain database and kept archived as part of the site.
Think of it this way: You will be able to visit this site and click on Discussion Forum, like you do now, and this will take you to the new discussion board. There will also be a link called ‘Old Forum’ which will take you to this discussion forum, where all threads and posts will remain existent for referencing.
Everything else about this remains the same, except for a new design and layout. More on that later.
Does this make a little more sense?
Welcome to The Exorcist Fansite!
I’ve thought about this also, and it would have been nice to see Karras connect the dots at some stage, but perhaps he never did? At the time of listening to the tape, he had no idea who Merrin was, so it would need to have occurred in a scene once Merrin is named to assist with the exorcism. From this point in the film, Friedkin definitely kicks things along quick-smart, so even if there was time for a scene like this, I think it would have found the editing room floor regardless.
Still, there is no discounting the fact that the recording DOES say: “Merrin… he’s a priest!”, so you’d THINK Karras would connect those dots!
Nice topic.
I’ve grown a nostalgic attachment to the film, I’m able to happily sit through it, admire Linda Blair and all her beauty and look past the flaws. That is, of course, when I choose to put it on…
