Tonight and tonight only is The Exorcist: Director's Cut, 2 and a half hours of movie, extra footage and an interview.

Love these one day events at the movies: operas, concerts, boxing, and so on. Very creative use of the cine.

Loved The Rolling Stones:1972 Tour last week. Good mix of young and old in the crowd. Expect the same for tonight's movie.

I liked everything about the director's cut except those hokey demon faces flashing here and there. Ooh, scary. No, hokey. Otherwise, the spiderwalk down the stairs was VERY disturbing.

In the original version, I believe there were only two flashes. In the director's cut, there were about five or six flashes, but I thought that I had forgotten about them or didn't notice them the first time. However, when the face appeared on the kitchen cabinet door, I snickered. One too many. But the rest of the audience gasped. It's always nice seeing The Exorcist with newbies. The nervous laughter. The eyes peeking between the fingers. Great movie. Great time.

P.S. Those early medical scenes sure set the queasy tone high for the possession scenes later. And the sound for the movie was fantastic.

Saw this with some friends...a couple arrived dressed up for the movie - priest and possessed. Ha ha...

The thing that I'll always remember the most about The Exorcist, though, is not the movie itself. It's my sister's reaction to it. She saw it while at a friend's house when she was younger. She came home the next day and started talking about this really funny movie that she saw. She described the girl's head twisting around, the convulsions, the vomit and the peeing on the floor. For the next several weeks, my sister thought it was funny to throw herself on the floor and pretend to have convulsions. I quickly learned to just step over her convulsing body.

It could have been worse, I guess. She could have decided to imitate the peeing scene.

Why do I always do this to myself???

My brother's godmother felt the same way about Jaws.

They passed an old woman who was just opening the door of a brown Cadillac. An old man was already sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a personalized plate with the letters “J-U-S-P-R-A-Y”.
“That stuff work?” Israel said to her.
“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.

Advanced apology... Captain Howdy made me do it.

Did you notice at about 3 minutes and forty seconds in the first part there was a porno on the big screen TV in the background? Captain Howdy indeed.

I was in Europe when the original movie came out and there were all kinds of articles about its effect on the audience and so on. So I wanted to see the movie,

When I did, I was disappointed.
