"exercises"

What does he do? Take it out for a walk on a leash?

Apos		2012-05-30 09:30:56 PM

You meant exorcises,right?

Peter von Nostrand		2012-05-30 09:34:23 PM

Did they go for a run? Perhaps some light biking? Free weights?

poonesfarm		2012-05-30 09:37:01 PM

Treadmill? Spinning classes? Yoga?

Gyrfalcon		2012-05-30 10:24:34 PM

Maybe they meant EXCISES as in chops out and cuts into tiny bloody pieces?

Maybe he did it Jim Carrey style:

I HAVE EXERCISED THE DEMONS

TsarTom		2012-05-30 10:35:28 PM

However, Blatty has since told Bleeding Cool that the rumors are "utterly false".

YAY!

Blatty went on to claim that he and William Friedkin - who directed the original 1973 Exorcist movie - are developing their own mini-series adaptation. "Friedkin and I have a new mini-series remake script that we hope will one day be picked up," he said.

Ummm...

I'm sure he's running the idea up the flagpole to see who salutes.

GungFu		2012-05-30 10:36:45 PM

I'd like to exercise my human right to not belittle subby and tell them that Jesus loves them and you should let him into your ~~heart~~ vagina.

Begs to differ.

I can't post this pic but it's worth a click.

I'm just a rich girl, nobody loves me
She's just a rich girl from a rich family,
Spare her her life from this monstrosity!
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismilah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismilah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismilah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go)(Never) Never let you go
(Let me go) Never let you go (Let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama please stop sucking cocks in hell.
Pazuzu has a devil put inside of me, of me,
of meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

/fark I'm bored.

It's important to keep in mind that power vomiting, when done correctly
as demonstrated in the movie, is excellent for your core.
Just sayin'

Seminal horror novels can be a bit of a crusty read after awhile.

Porous Horace		2012-05-30 11:41:44 PM

I am Pazuzu!

Hard to top that.

Seminal fluid on copies of Playboy can make them a crusty read after a while too.

Your headline sucks cocks in hell, subby.

Nothing makes me twitch like wordplay containing a grammatical error.

Your momma sews socks that smell, subby.

The bed.. is on.. my foot! The bed.. is on.. my foot! The bed.. is on.. my foot..! Oh, Father, the bed.. is on.. my foot!

70's retro reboots? Demonic possesion? It won't sell. Boring. Try They Shoot Horses, Don't They? At least that might be taken seriously. Explotation of the desperate, ect.

Yes. I know it came out in '69, but close enough.

Now that was a horror film.

Enemabag Jones		2012-05-31 02:00:05 AM

A young teen zombie tied to the bed saying really nasty things while having phallic shaped sheet wrapped on bedposts. And don't forget the then wonderful multi-colored yawns.

The 70's were just so much more wild in film, I am afraid that recycling it will take out the part of the memories.

/Just kill more of my youth already.

AbbeySomeone		2012-05-31 02:24:51 AM

Is he buying the rumors a bowflex illiteratemitter?

/yes, I know it's been mentioned.

Dwight_Yeast		2012-05-31 03:00:06 AM

Baltty is one of those "Catholics" who rejects Vatican II. Take that as you will,

/Still love The Ninth Configuration.

Superjoe		2012-05-31 04:18:13 AM

I've never seen the Exorcist, but The Ninth Configuration is the bomb.

/not really into horror movies in general
//The Shining is cool though

Vash's Apprentice		2012-05-31 09:34:13 AM

Porous Horace: I am Pazuzu!

Hard to top that.

Except it was never directly named in the movie.
/You must be experiencing the Texas Chainsaw Massacre effect

On an tangential subject, I'm glad that Max Von Sydow is still alive, but I really thought he had died a few years ago. Now I'm wondering if I confused him with Ingmar Bergman.
