Yes … and let us pray that Rob Zombie does NOT make an naive attempt to slaughter The Thing!

Sure there are: Right Here!

Why not give us “first dibs?” I like the idea that Ben is making the offer here first before venturing into eBay-land! 🙂

Friedkin used all kinds of parallelism throughout the film. Check the Captain’s Parallel Imagery section (in the column right over there >>>>). Another notion with sounds is the fact that Friedkin was quite intentionally by foreshadowing events with all types of visceral enticements.

Yeah, jguthrie … another winner by Carpenter. I personally think it outranks his original Halloween by a long shot (OH NO, HERE COME THE HALLOWEEN RESPONSES!). 🙂

Hi Sofia … no problem. I answered the emails yesterday, so check your inbox. Good thoughts on your behalf! I hope I don’t disappoint.

Wow! How amazing … I’ll bet both “touching up” and “remakes” will come into vogue one day. 😉

[fatherbowdern]

I like David Lynch’s films, and this is a unique beginning feature. However, Eraserhead doesn’t make a dent in The Exorcist by comparison, IMO.

[fatherbowdern]

Amen, jguthrie. You are preaching to choir! I’ve been saying the same things here on this website. My analogies are not only focused on remakes, but the dreadful TYVNS of The Exorcist. Even if I was not a big fan of the original, I think what WB did to the film is disgraceful by utilizing idiotic CGI to “update” a masterpiece to say it’s a version you’ve never seen. Bull. It’s was a version to milk the cash cow even more to a “newer” audience.

[fatherbowdern]

Indeed. Good things come to those who wait. “In time.” “No. Now.” “In time.”

[fatherbowdern]

True. If you click the link, you read: “Description: House at 3600 Prospect in Georgetown which was used (with alterations) for exterior shots in the 1974 movie, ‘The Exorcist’.”

I still don’t understand why the former owner wanted her plain picked fence back after WB spent all the money creating the wrought-iron and brick fence. Go figure.

LMAO! Too funny, Thermagus01 … I can a little Sammy Davis, Jr. in that guy now that you mention it! 🙂

[fatherbowdern]

Thermagus01,

I checked this out and I could see why you would believe this in one aspect: the image of the man in front is blurred, thus creating an illusion of the headgear being out of sync.

I believe you are referring to this point in time in the film (click the image below to enlarge). The only thing I really notice is that the Iraqi man on the right looks a lot Santa Claus and his eyes are focused on the camera lens. 🙂

[fatherbowdern]

Doing great! Especially doing great now that WB has come to its senses about the original 1973 masterpiece being included on the Blu-ray! 🙂

[fatherbowdern]

Hey Sof,

Yes, indeed. I did read it. Thanks for your work and publishing mini-docs about our favorite film.
