I know it's a great film, I've read the novel and a lot of stuff dissecting it, I just don't find myself wanting to watch it very often, i'm the same with The Shining, I have to be really in the mood to watch them.
I was a bit drunk the other night as you may have guessed...
Because you dismissed Exorcist 2 (which is fair) I kinda felt the urge to defend it and ridicule the original.
These days i find myself more drawn to Black and White classics because they are easy to watch and usually short. Hammer, Amicus or 70's/ 80's cheese.
I guess it's getting older with the nostalgia aspect or just wanting something easy, enjoyable and distracting as the world's miserable lately.
Serious stuff is mostly out the window for me these days.
