Oh that is possible with Sims 3, yes. 🙂 You can see the moon, stars… The graphics are really nice. Here's a trailer for Sims 3 Pets –   Let me know what you think about the kitties. 😉

Could you send me the screenplay? 🙂

[Sofia]

Hmm.. maybe with The Sims 3 then. 'Pets' expansion pack is coming out next week and there are going to be cats. The animations will be better than Sims 2. 😉 I'd love to make that video for you. 🙂

Sorry, only now I'm reading this, FatherB! HAhaha!, “exorcist regarding the novel”

“i was actually talking about the part in the book when she is talking to father karras…and she says something in burke's voice explaining how regan (or the demon) killed him (: “

 

That is during the exorcism!

-Karras opened up his eyes and saw the Dennings personality.

 “Look, she killed me. Not our innkeeper, Karras – she! Oh, yes, indeed!” It was nodding affirmation. “She! I was minding my business at the bar, you see, when I thought I heard her moaning. Upstairs. Well, now, I had to see what ailed her, after all, so up I went and don't you know she bloody took me by the throat!” The voice was whiny now; pathetic. “I've never in my life seen such strength! Began to scream that I was diddling her mother or something, or that I caused the divorce. Some such thing. It wasn't clear. But I tell you, she pushed me out the bloody window!” …..

Do you mean make a video with the sims? 😉

Sof,

How the heck did you edit that? It's great! It looks like Regan with braces and all (something that not a lot of film viewers know about).

Yes, I will mail you the jeans as long as you put a picture right here on the site!  🙂

xxxooo back at ya,

Father B

 

I edit the pics on Photo Express! :D   Here's another -  Yep, with braces/red hair/freckles/blue eyes.

She really looks like Regan of the novel in my edited pix. xxx

OH, sure, I'll put a pic of the jeans on the site, haha!

 

Here's the original capture in case you'd like to compare the two -

What do you think of my edited Linda looking like Regan of the novel, FB?  😉 If she looked anything like this, then she would have fit the role perfectly.

Will you mail the jeans to me? 😀

xxHugs

“Awww … in the 1970s, Linda was considered slender … she just happened to be well-endowed up top!”

 

I mean slender like Sachi was or Nicoletta Elmi was. 😉 I really can’t say that Linda fit the role perfectly because she doesn’t look anything like Regan of the novel.

 

 

 

“

As always, much love back at you … even if you are wearing bell bottom jeans with a polyester knit top! (I love your awesome inset picture of The Brady Bunch!)”

 

LOL, actually I'm not wearing any bell bottom blue jeans.

Yeaaah I Love The Brady Bunch! 😀

I've read a bit of Emily's Story and I'm enjoying it. : )

“Sof, do you remember where when Friedkin was talking about this? I really wish there were shooting timeline script just out of curiosity.”

 

Yes, FatherB =D He talks about this on the Fear of God commentary.

This is what I remember him saying: “We didn't really shoot in continuity. All of the exteriors were done together. Some of the Doctor offices were filmed in New York.. everything that had to be done in New York was filmed at one time.”

 

“Linda did fit the role perfectly as far as body size and stature.  :)”

 

She didn't have the body size of a slender eleven-year-old.

 

I take it that you read the novel before watching the movie, FatherB?

 

“let's just keep the bell bottom blue jeans and polyester leisure suits out.”

 

HAHA! you're so funny! I do love bell bottom blue jeans, though. =D

Much Love back, Xxx

“It makes sense that this scene was shot then as well for some continuity and financial reasons.”

 

Friedkin said that the Doctor's office scenes/ bedroom scenes/ Exteriors, were the first scenes to be filmed and they were all done together.

 

“This is why novels from the masters like Blatty allow the readers to envision their own version of characters through either subtle or extremely explicit descriptors.”

 

when you are reading the novel, who do you visualize as the characters?

 

“Fourteen? I think she looks likes she's ready to ask her mom for the keys to the car!”

LOL! Not that old! But I read that scene was shot around April/May 1973 so Linda was already 14.

 

Aww, I love 70s clothes!

[Sofia]

“It certainly would explain why the acting is so inconsistent with the remaining performance that Blair pulled off so effectively.”

 

This sequence was also shot in September of 1972 and I thought her acting was better here than in the first doctor's office scene.

 

 

oh gosh, some of the exorcism scenes were shot in the summer of 1972 so those were the first scenes to be shot with Linda! I remember someone saying in “Fear of God” how weird it was to see actual breath in the middle of the summer..

 

“Blair's other scenes? Again, I can't imagine another actress in the role.”

Touchy subject for me.. 😉 I can never imagine Linda as Regan while reading the novel.

 

In the non-possessed Regan role, Blair stands out in the Chris/Regan bedroom/birthday-discussion scene.

Yeah, I think she's really natural there. That scene was shot months before the ouija board scene, the ouija was one of the last scenes to be filmed with Linda. I think that was a mistake, she looks 14 there when she's supposed to be playing an 11 year old.

[Sofia]

“It is great seeing all that amazing on the Blu-ray, but I’d also like to just watch it by itself without it being wrapped up in those (kinda cheesy) documentaries.”

I put together the making of footage of the arteriogram scene with some sounds from the movie in the background. I think that scene was actually shot in two days. Friedkin was wearing an orange sweater one day and the next he’s wearing a greenish checkered blouse. –

….program is waaaaaayyyyy too expensive right now.   

Hi , Steve!

Well, you could always download it.

[Sofia]

(Although I
have been very curious about what went wrong during those particular scenes …
perhaps an assistant director filmed it … perhaps Blair was having a few “off
days” … we will never know).

 

That was one of the first scenes (if not the first) to be shot with Linda, maybe she was nervous and very camera conscious. She seems more comfortable and natural in the scenes in which she talks about the horse, ouija board, & birthday ideas. What do you think of her acting in those scenes? I love to read your comments on this subject. 🙂

[Sofia]

“Just watching that snippet as Justin mentions is a form of torture for me.”

FatherB, I wonder what it would be like for you to watch Susan Swift in Audrey Rose.. her acting in the scenes as 'normal' Ivy is way worse than Linda's acting as “normal” Regan.

Watch this from 2:38 to 03:00. You'll see what I mean, and possibly feel a bit differently about Linda's acting.
