How am I only just now learning that Paul Henreid is in #ExorcistIITheHeretic?!?

"Excalibur" is a GREAT film! Meaning that Boorman got three great films made in his career, adding to "Deliverance" and "Point Blank."

Three great films in a career is an excellent achievement.

William Peter Blatty didn't want "The Exorcist III" to be called that. He wanted it to be called "Legion," the name of his novel. And he didn't want an exorcism in his sequel. But the studio wanted one and got one.

The filmmakers of #BoormanAndTheDevil really got some great interviews. Louise Fletcher's stuff is documentary gold. #FilmsOnFilm #TCMParty

A reminder that, back in those days, an American film came out at a certain time. But the rest of the world didn't see it until months later. So, in the case of "Exorcist II," since it was in such trouble in America, it was toast in the rest of the world.

"But you're not a masochist, are you?"
"I suppose I must be, otherwise I wouldn't be making movies."

I enjoyed #HeavensGate when I saw it this past July, but it does NOT need to be 3 hours and 40 minutes long

There are two seasons of #CursedFilms available on Shudder

This documentary provides the eternal reminder: It doesn't matter how much money is being poured into the movie, how big the sets, how wild the visual effects. The key thing is always:

The. Script.

That goes belly up, your movie goes belly up.

So clearly they never heard what happened during the making of GWTW and Lust In the Du-Duel In The Sun? How Selznick kept rewriting the script (amongst other things) & while it resulted in one classic movie, it also resulted in a career dooming flop?

Pleased to learn that, whatever its other merits or demerits, “Heretic: Exorcist II” took great pains to prevent a plague of locusts from devouring Burbank. Oh, wait… #FilmsOnFilm #BoormanAndTheDevil #tcmparty

"I think Richard Burton's face was a perfect place to put locusts."

"The Exorcist III" is GREAT! William Peter Blatty was the man to shoot the sequel to his own novel.

I once got to see a live demonstration of a fire stunt. Important safety tip: you want to be wearing natural fibers that will char, and not synthetics that will melt

So Richard Burton fred flintstoned his way off the set at 5:00pm? #TCMParty #FilmsOnFilm #BoormanAndTheDevil

I would TOTALLY switch out Richard Pryor for Richard Burton.

Steadicam inventor and operator Garrett Brown would go on to shoot his most famous shots in "The Shining."

So it sounds like a lot of documentary of this sequel is the art of making do and making lots of lemonade and omelets. #TCMParty #FilmsOnFilm #BoormanAndTheDevil

"Lisa and The Devil" sounds like the follow up episode to "The Penis Curling She-Devils." #TCMParty #FilmsOnFilm #BoormanAndTheDevil

HOW MANY PEOPLE have thought that Linda Blair said that in the movie when in fact it was from this SNL SKetch?!?! #TCMParty #FilmsOnFilm #BoormanAndTheDevil
