I first read the Exorcist when I was 12, much to the annoyance of my English teacher, who even had a word with my parents about it, because all the other kids were reading shite like Famous Five etc

Reminds me of the snobbish dickhead that turned round and said its a "food free cinema" in Cardiff Chapter Arts Centre last night as I watched White God even though I specifically chose Maltesers to avoid noisy eating.

Here's my well thumbed copy, bought for 95p from a 2nd hand bookseller in Halifax back in 1991!

I have several copies, including a hardback third pressing of the first edition – I'd love a first pressing, but they are quite expensive!

Have you read the sequel Legion Rik??

[Demoncrat]

Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever (Ti West, 2009).

Confused, rank and not a little dull, I only recommend this to Mark Borchardt fans, as he pops up near the end, maaaan! Ahem. And didn't notice until too late that El Topo was on Film4!!!

Don't know MB?

Then I heartily recommend American Movie (Chris Smith, 1999), which is in turns hysterical and slightly heartbreaking imo....

I have yeah, couple of times. I wish Warner Bros' would release the proper version of Exorcist III, which is supposed to be more like the book, instead of having the pointless exorcism scenes tagged on!

Well, considering their track record with The Devils, I suggest not holding your breath!!

Tis an odd read, but I like the fact that it has its own story, unlike so many other sequels, which just regurgitate the first etc...

I also really like the book but, as I understand it, the hold-up with the film is more to do with Morgan Creek than Warner Bros.
