It’s actualy a variation on the design of the Box, I found on a site called “THE PYRAMID GALLERY”
there were many differnt variations of the box.
this one is calledFree The
Broken Spirit
“The Box of Pleasures”the pictures are quite small until you click on them, I barely noticed the Howdy face, Then it hit me “Shit! They Put Him on the Box!
In know some of these are for sale, but Im not sure about this one.When I was a kid I had shit loads of action figures, was I grew up, what didn’t get mutilated ultimately got sold for Money to pay for heat.
I regret selling so many of them, A hand full were planet of the apes, I really regret getting rid of those, But I still have a few things around, and Ive bought a couple little things over the years.
As Ive grown up, I have much more respect for alot of these, price I pay is not having alota Money.
But I Love real detaild Figures like this, Id love to start collecting them again.
So many thats been done that I wanted.
A Few months ago I was thinking it would be Nice to see figures from the Exorcist.
I saw a little news of this a few days ago when trying to find out whether anyone were able to get pictures of the figures for the new Star Trek.
I thought to my self “It’s about Damn time”
I cant wait to see what the other one will look like.
It would be nice if theyd do Merrin and Karras Figures, Perhaps them throwing Holy water at Her.Perhaps they should do some replicas of the Pazuzu Idol
I think that would be out of the question For the Demon, In a Sense, Merrin is untouchable, The Demon can’t Enter, Merrins Faith is to Strong, it acts as a Force field, Thats Why it uses other tactics, It dosen’t have to put on a Show For Merrin, They already Know what eachother can Do, thats Why the Demon hates and fears Merrin.
But Damian is far differn’t, He barely has a grip on his Faith, Hes both emotionaly and Spiritualy vulnerable, For the Demon there is a Chance of taking Damian down, However we Know how it turns out.
I don’t think Regan needs explination here.Im very eager to See this.
With the New things that are taking place that concern the whole Prequel Situation, Perhaps it could get Morgan Creek interested in actually Giving DOMINION a “Real” Post Production.
I think it Deserved at least Standard treatment from the Studio, but even when deciding to release the Film, they didn’t really make a real Effort To Help Schrader Properly Finish The Film.
But instead they treated it Like a Last ditch Effort to make back some of the Money they Spent making to Films.
Shit, Thats exactly what there motivation was.
Just Let Paul strugle to complete it, and they slap it on DVD and hope they get some Damn $$$$$$$$$$$$$Here is my slightly over the top version of the the same scene, from my Fan Cut, but this clip is actually missing a shot I later added.
I feel Like Fanning is t o mucfh of an obvious choice for anyone to realy set down and take her seriously in the role.
WETA does great Work, But I wouldn’t recomend them, The Hyenas in ETB look like they were made by WETA.I admit that I would Like to See Skarsgard again, If Max did it at least he’s old enough now that he dosn’t need the old age makeup.
infact I remember about a decade ago when I herd talk of a Prequel for the first time.
I invisioned the movie opening in 1973, Merrin has just sent Karras out of Reagan’s bedroom, He’s on his knees praying and places his hand on Reagan’s.
the Close up of Merrins face actually being a New Shot of Max, We Move into the darkness of his right Eye, we go Back in time for the rest of the Movie until the end, We come back out of Merrin’s Left eye, he is lying on the floor dying, and he’s heart takes it’s last few beats.Now WETA Workshop is fantastic, I agree, I have know doubt they would do a Phenominal Job With the Exorcist, But I don’t expect to see them Do An Exorcist Film.
It would Be Nice For Dick Smith to Work His Magic for a New generation.
But I don’t expect Him to, Perhaps be a consultant though.But Ultimately Any type of Visual FX must be set asside for the moment.
If this Movie had to be Done, Then it has to have a Damn good Script, And a Director Who will do it Justice.The Logic behind the Northern Lights(at least to my understanding)
Is That A Supernatural Event is taking place, Science can’t explain everything.The character of Cheche played by Billy Crawford, is Actualy the Child of an African Woman who was raped by a British Soldier, This was in the un-released Novelization of the Movie(At least to My understanding)
Jesus was dead by 500ad, 5ad was a little mistake made in ETB(At least to my understanding)
At No time Does the Movie DOMINION state that Lucifer fell to earth in that spot, however I think there is a hint of it. In ETB it was said that that is the spot where Lucifer Fell(At least to My understanding) Pazuzu However is never mentioned by name in either Prequel, but there are also many ways to interpret that.
The Dream Sequence does have Meaning, but it is mostly Symbolic,Metaphorical.
These types of things are very important to an Exorcist Film.
The Captain Howdy Demon Face was put in the Dream however, to make a stronger connection to the original Film(At least to My understanding)I Think Harlin Does Have Talent, I just Don’t think He was right for an Exorcist Film(or certain aspects).
He did bring a fantastic visual sense to the Film, Also Atmosphere.
I think Part of What his version suffers from is the fact that It hade to Reuse many of the same sets, costumes, Actors,Etc.
He also had to get it done quickly.
So I He didn’t really enough control, He should have been able to reinvision thinks in every way he saw fit.Im not saying I would want him to do another one.
What Im saying is that Harlin Got the Short End, as Far as creativity goes.
Schrader of Course Didn’t get to Properly Complete Post Production.Actor Richard Burton was desperate for a third reconciliation with Dame Elizabeth Taylor, but the veteran actress refused to give the romance another chance. Burton enjoyed a 10-year marriage to the Cleopatra star before divorcing in 1974. The couple reunited in 1975 and wed once more, but the second union lasted just one year. However, BBC reporter John Simpson – who met Burton on the set of Exorcist II: The Heretic shortly after his 1976 divorce – claims the late actor even tried to give up drinking in a bid to win back the Hollywood legend. According to Simpson, Burton said: “If (Taylor)’d have me back, I’d leave this s**tty film and this ghastly heat right now and charter a plane to go wherever she was. But it’s the old thing: can’t live with her, can’t live without her. But I adore Elizabeth, and I always will.” Burton went on to marry twice more before his death in 1984, aged 58
