#Hexes and Linda Blair

DJ,
OK, duh. Got me this time! ;-}
Regarding "two fingers" I do recall one Halloween night down in Georgetown, on
the Georgetown campus, on the same site where they did the shot of the Priest
falling down the stairs in the "Exorcist", some people, were crossing their
fingers (one hand). I dunno.

Did you see the take-off on The Exorcist? I can't remember the name (one
word, catchy title), but it also starred Linda Blair, paired with (who
else) Leslie Nielsen as the priest. The staircase scene was pretty
hilarious.

DJ,
Yes, I do recall that scene from somewhere. Was it "Police Squad" which aired
on TV? Or was it "Naked Gun"? You know, I've gotta rent that again sometime.
Loved its zany and stupid humor.

John,
I saw it as part of a full-length movie that was completely a take-off on
The Exorcist, and I STILL can't remember the name. It's almost on the tip
of my tongue, except I keep swallowing it … Ahh! I just coughed it up
(there was actually a three minute pause there) – REPOSSESED is the title.
I feel better now <g>.

DJ,
Great. I'll see if it is on the Blockbuster shelf and check it out.

Repossesed <- Name of movie with Linda and Leslie (if some one has not told you
yet!)
-Tom-
I think that movie was called "Repossessed".
Damn! I just spent three torturous minutes remembering the name and NOW
you come up with it!

Yeah, I can remember stuff like that, but I can't other more important
things. 🙂

Review
An Airplane-style spoof of The Exorcist, with Linda Blair herself as a
housewife possessed anew by the same demon she was rid of as a child.
Promisingidea has too few gags, too many targets, and a poor finale. Blair
and Nielsen (as the exorcist) are good, but can't support the film all by
themselves. Written by director Logan.

p.s. I liked the movie, too.
Kelly,
Thanks for the lookup. I have not seen it and I'll see if I can find it at my
local BlockBuster.

OK, OK! You win the Memory Recall Award! You must either be very young,
never did drugs, or happen to have a Movie Guide in front of you <g>. Oh,
I see – the CD-ROM version. Yes, it had some excellent laughs, something
we can use lots of nowadays 🙂
