Friedkin, for those of you who don't know horror, was the original director of The Exorcist. He subsequently walked away from any mention of ever doing another one. Smart guy! Here's something you already know...
Renny Harlin Sucks, ask any one
How in hell can you outdo Linda Blair, von Sydow, Burstyn and Miller? Just leave it alone, will ya? I was at the Astor Plaza theater (Rest In Peace 8/2/04) when the re-release happened in 2000. The place was like a FOOTBALL stadium after a touchdown when our cuddly Regan did that shockeroo crab-walk down the front steps. People actually jumped up and down, hi-fived, and screamed! The place was sold out for two weeks straight, it was THAT GOOD. They made the original better from the director's cut, you can't make another "original". It's not possible.
These industry assholes actually fired Paul Schrader, whose cut I would have preferred to see. Pazuzu's a freaky little bastard, and Schrader is a serious director. Renny Harlin can't direct traffic: look up his credits on iMDB and see the mindless drivel with his name on it. Schrader's version will come out on DVD sometime next year, and that's worth a look. This piece of howling garbage won't see my $10 even if you put a gun to my head. A rental? I don't think that would kill me too much.
And a big hello to Andrew and Ann: I'm bringing catnip for Carmine, so cue up the Grateful Dead records! My fuzzers chill out to a lava lamp and Pink Floyd when they get zooted on 'nip. "Just Say No" is for humans, not cats, thank goddess!
LMAO!!!
