Rat, that’s a good idea and I’m sure that WB will ultimately tinker with TVYNS to sell yet more copies of The Exorcist … it’s still a cash cow today. 🙂
LOL! I caught it too Ryan, but let it ride. I think the author, Clarissa Caldwell, had obviously crossed her wires somewhere or she meant, “‘Regan’s’ Father Damien …” I can’t even help her with the way she has it written. 😉
iamnoone, let them eat cake! I think it’s a good job on what is actually missing (albeit intentionally) on Blatty’s behalf in his novel.
Or, Kinder, just expand your family and introduce your kids:
“These are my children. Damian, Regan, Chucky, Freddy, Carrie, and Jason.”

Schrader and Harlin did not fail on either account for direction. They are both good directors (however, certainly they are not in the Friedkin arena, IMHO). The problems, again IMHO, for both productions was the out-of-sync, chain-breaking “unseen good versus evil” premises that swayed too far from that of the The Exorcist’s basic concept. The true horror was the writing in both scripts, editing, and overworking of CGI effects that were both implausible and laughable.
No one could save either version no matter how much money Morgan Creek poured into them. Ultimately, the prizing-winning cash cow needs to be led to pasture to bask in the glory of their achievements. More here.
Kinder, you’re welcome. I was going to mention the “DamiEn” in the Omen, but I thought I would be “reaching” about the three “DamiEns.” Therefore, in reality, you did win on all levels by spelling your son’s name with the letter “a.”
“… Damien … is now quite common (the 137th most popular name for boys in 2007).
“… And is Damian coming back because of the singer Damien Rice, or just because?” Source

Kinder … you don’t have any technical flaws that I could see. The film is what is … great work.

Kinder, I think that is so great of you! You get the best of both worlds (real and film) to express your love for what this world offers. 😉
Ryan, I had several books “going” at one time before the holidays. I use a “clip” bookmark that leaves an impression on the paper after removing it. Apparently, I failed to bookmark your essay because the “clip impression� wasn’t there.
I have now read your essay. Pages 91-92 are on target about the name Damien and its origins from Blatty�s perspective. You have expertly spelled out some very revealing information about how Blatty draws upon a massive amount of self-created information for brief characters (which is why he rates highly on my Poe list). High praises, Ryan � excellent job!
