No worries, Granny. Incidentally, everyone else — you’re each invited to e-mail Ben, if you’re interested in contributing an essay. You’re welcome to e-mail him; the rest is up to Ben. E-mailing him is no guarentee of anything, only a chance to see what the deal is this late in the game; again the deadline’s technically already passed, but… if you think you have what it takes, e-mail him! It can’t hurt.
Cheers!

Precisely, Blizzi, you nailed it! 😛
Granny, but Cobb solo and Kinderman solo are worlds apart, I think. Scotty’s distinctly more on edge and senile.
Ironically, Scott is so uppity it’s hard not to smirk. He’s got his own unique brand of charisma as Kinderman, in or out of the presence of others. Even so, how Blatty calls his casting “perfect” makes me scratch my head. Oh well, not too many older actor out there, then or even today.
Crikey, who should Blatty have cast instead — there was no one cut from the same Cobb, so to speak? 😛 Who in blazes? Hmmm…

I have every bit of confidence the filmmakers behind this new sequel (VIRTUALLY EVERYONE FROM THE PREVIOUS THREE! That NEVER happens!), aren’t going to do well — in their and fans’ eyes — and now blow it, due to a weak script, bad acting (for what the movie calls for; one may not like the film(s), but that doesn’t mean the acting isn’t so well done it fails to sell story being told), etc. They know what they’re doing, and the evidence is in the first three films; enough evidence to make the most honest of doubters be cautiously optimistic, and us converts counting on their distinctive brand of quality.
I would be shocked if they John Boormanned this, after everything that made the first, second, and third films so great — the trilogy so great. If it was intended to be a turkey, like, say, Exorcist: The Beginning, the individuals-of-talent would have sooner than later dropped like flies. I can’t name one who did, and I’m a shameless, hopeless fan of the series I was skeptical of since day 1, to gradually a lesser extent since, as sequel after sequel blew me away, making this world of SAW a multi-dimensional beast of a saga.
SAW I-III — and soon IV… and V and VI (no joke — they have this planned!) are bigger than the labels people want to give them. And fair enough. 😀

Sooner than later, guys, I shall have a MySpace page of my own. 🙂
Anyway, sure, Blizzi — I’ll be your friend… again, there, too. 😛

It looks looks like Skarsgard, but it doesn’t. Methinks someone — if it IS Skarsgard — Photoshopped it enough to avoid looking like it was ripped off — plagiarized.

Okay, but which then occurred first: The Heretic’s Merrin scenes or the prequel (whichever)?
Thanks, ’cause I’m clueless! 😛
EDIT: Okay, I think I must have missed it, so… NEW QUESTION: What tells you the prequel(s) take place beforehand?
Curious and/or plain dumb, 😛

How long is Merrin actually in the film, YOUNG MERRIN? The Georgetown scenes are weaksauce in comparison; who knew one part of this film could be worse or better than another part…? 😐
Short enough to digitize and make ready for dowload/viewing by those of us who traded in their HERETIC DVDs? 😛

Outtakes from Renny Harlin’s loving Exorcist prequel, Exorcist: The Beginning?
“I probably shouldn’t. But… Thank God, my will is weak.” 😛

There should be a death metal Exorcist II tribute band called Synchronizer. I could so pictuere the insane, indecipherable logo.
