I agree with Justin on Blair doing the possessed part. But, I remember reading that Blair got a little heady and refused to sit in the makeup chair and be tortured with the hours of having to sit still for so long. (I would have done if I was her considering The Exorcist is her only claim to real fame – and that’s really unfortunate because she was a talented actress in her youth).
Isn’t it amazing how the movie transformed Willie into the “little old lady” type? Oh, and, Sofia … when Chris and Regan leave the house, we see Willie closing the iron gate and saying her farewell to Father Dyer. Are we to assume that Willie and Karl, like Sharon, are staying in D.C.? Or, is the house their’s (I don’t think so and I can’t remember reading that about them). I really need to go back through the book again (I actually have a first-edition version signed by Blatty, which makes me a little hesitant to “use” it, so I going to have to buy a paperback!). 🙂 Love you comments, perspectives, and vast knowledge on the movie and book, Sofia! 🙂
You’re welcome, Sofia. I didn’t realize she was a 70’s actress. I love your youtube videos!
And, yes, Ghetto, who are those select few people. Perhaps we can use some lawyer language to scare them about copyright and get them to hand over their copies of Dietz’s material! 😉
I agree, Sofia. I’ve seen your Sims and they are nothing like the ones that appear to have Turret’s! 😉
You’re welcome, Sofia … I can’t remember who added a comment in one of the blogs for me to actually show what I was talking about. But, the items are really there if you look at each dip of the silver teaspoon (it happens twice). Watching it in slow-mo helps … amazing what we don’t see! And I always thought camera folks were actually behind the camera and that’s not necessarily the case. Or, it could be another person besides the cameraman, like Friedkin or Blatty.
Yep, and they are called, “phantom smells.” Which only goes along with more mystery in the novel. Brain tumor victims also get these smells, so I think the doctor was shooting for it because this passage is prior to Regan going through all the gray-matter tests! 🙂
Yeah … that’s from slut320 … I still don’t care too much for the Sims as actors because they look like they’re having a turret syndrome breakdown! 😉
Good question … I know the book was published in 1971. However, I can’t recall dates in the book at all. Sofia?
Thanks, Ryan! Oh, one more thing … is your avatar you or George Michael? Not a joke, I really don’t know. 🙂
Thanks, Sofia! The movie makes better sense … but, I still can’t see Willie tapping her toes and snapping her fingers to the tune, “Yellow Submarine,” while smoking a joint and shouting, “Peace! Love! I Love Lennon!”
Although, I guess since it’s 1966 she would be watching, “How I Won the War,” which is kind of clever in some way on Blatty’s part. 😉
