If I could have put it any more perfectly, granville, I would have said you took the words right out of my mouth. I nodded along with every single word.
This is a nice idea, Ryan. My wife and I have discussed doing such a trip once our lil’ boy is about 3-5 years old (which is reasonably soon in the big scheme of things). We also want to see Canada and I’d like to see Rome again.
The BloodyNews.com group once talked about holding an Exorcist/Horror convention there. That is a monumentally huge and expensive task to undertake, however. I’m sure the right kind of support could be conjured up. It might be nice to set a landmark date for it – say The Exorcist movie’s 40th Anniversary or something?
You’re right, Ghetto. I’ve seen many sites feature an image from Heretic when their article or section is about the original. A common online error.
Ghetto, I agree, THESE DAYS molestation would be one of the first theories a doctor would conclude. Not back then.
I also disagree with this analysis of the film, albeit a refreshing take on the depth of The Exorcist. There is far too much going on spiritually for any of this to make any sense on the surface.
Interesting theory, none the less.
I have this set. I bought it from Amazon back when it was in vogue and had just been released. The text by Kermode in the special edition book is especially interesting. Not unlike his BFI Classics text. There ARE DVD versions, too – which I recommend.
Ryan, your find is rare indeed. It looks like the third pic (far right) on the cover is Eileen Dietz in full make-up.
It looks like a still shot from the hospital, in which case this would be a make-up detailing just early stages (you can see a scratch on her nose and cheek).
Never heard of such a scene, granville. Where dd you read about this?
A new booklet would be fantastic, and definitely including texts from Mark Kermode.
