… it is a pity you can't make them speak …
I know…
IÂ could do Regan's voice over, though, Â 'cause my voice is very thin and childish lol.
But IÂ used Ellen and Linda's voices for the voice over of the ouija board scene. Some of their lines on that scene are pretty similar to what they say in the novel :

Incredible how you managed to recreate the ambient. Sometimes I have to smile when suddely objects appear on their heads …

I did it, although mine was simply a joke just to light up the tone of this thread. Have you noticed the laugh at the end? I suppose humor can be a difficult matter to understand if you belong to a different country. But to avoid misunderstandings, I won't post funny comments anymore, whatever good or bad they could be. And this is not supposed to be an infantile reaction …
No problems, hammer. Sometimes things do translate differently from one country to another. “Keep you pecker up” in Britain is quite different than “Keep your pecker up” in the States.Â
Plus, I'm probably old enough to be your father!

Well, I am 45 … Don’t forget that I am Italian born in France and living in Germany. I am not mother tongue English. I can speak and write in four languages but I am sometimes a bit confused.
Father Merrin, thanks for the nice post.

Sophia, they are great! Really … it is a pity you can’t make them speak …
The house looks perfect…how did you manage? Hours and hours of work, I suppose…I have one question: the lines they used to compare Linda and McCambridge were taken from the original sound on set or they were just some tests Linda did before?
Poor Linda … Of course in most of her movies she didn’t act well … they were crap and she often admited it. How can you do a good job if you don’t believe in what you are doing?
Good post,strawberry! I love Ellen Burstyn too, and not only because of the Exorcist. She is that kind of woman who has the beauty coming from inside. I don't know how better I could explain this.
I agree.. actually the only two sentences i think they were forced are the one you said and “I don't want it!”.
And you are right, her blank expression in the party scene is just perfect … like if she was looking from far away…
Now I got it! You are actually
Father Dietz!
Anyway, I agree about the TVYNS, and of course Friedkin did a wonderful work with Linda and the rest of the crew… I even agree she wasn't perfect in some parts, but acting is not only saying the sentences in the right way, it is also catching the depth of the character in his eyes, making the right movements … and with her performance she managed to make believable what for the most of the people is totally absurd. Of course the make-up and McCambrige had a huge part in it, but as you can see with Dietz, for example, you can just turn a scene into ridiculous by overacting the horror – and even without talking. Linda was just remarkable in most of the scenes… and the documentary we see on the blu-ray just shows that it's not only the make-up that did the trick, because as soon we see Linda smiling with the demon face, she just looks like a little girl wearing an ugly mask.
