Author Topic: The Exorcist John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-19-2000 02:16 AM                     Anyone running or going to run the re-issue? It apparently has an extra 12 'never before seen' minutes added and is in all formats of sound. (That should be interesting). I wonder how it will hold up after all these years... ------------------ "It's not the years honey, it's the mileage".

Seen one green pea soup shot, you've seen them all. It was "sensational" when it came out being the first of it's kind, but I wouldn't waste money on restoring it. Apart from the explicit scenes, there wasn't much there, IMHO. How bout restoring and reissuing "Forbidden Planet". Now there's a classic that deserves attention. Or how bout "The Time Machine"  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

The WB 75th reissue prints had the "WB 75th" logo at the beginning and had DTS timecode with the soundtrack on CD-Rs. Not sure if the optical track was A or SR.  |  IP: Logged Chad Souder Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 962 From: Waterloo, IA, USA Registered: Feb 2000 posted 03-21-2000 04:11 PM                     you mean there's such a thing as a Linda Blair fan? ------------------ "All right, brain.
