Exorcist "The beginning." (Semi-Spoilers)Follow

#1 Aug 29 2004 at 9:22 PM Rating: Decent
So yeah halfway decent movie. UNTIL.

It was close to 3/4ths of the way over, and Father Merrin goes to war with the devil in the bowels of the church all the while the tribal clan and the military detachment are making short work of eachother. So the demon starts saying some messed up stuff and all of a sudden (I assume they were all together) this group of parishiners stands up and starts praying to god for the souls of everyone in the theather. Saying we were going to be corrupted my this occultist evil that the devil purposefully
created, IE: "The exorcist"

All of a sudden they start laying their hands on people in the theater (One came close to me and I got up and moved in a hurry)


These christians apparently have lost thier minds and are falling in the aisles, rolling down the stairs, wailing like the lord jesus was just crucified right in front of their face.

Police came in and starting taking them out by force then this one older guy gets up and starts yelling at the police then this other kid starts laughing out loud at these religious folks then gets into a fist fight with the older guy. All the while I am just in shock at the mini riot that is breaking out in front of my eyes. Thinking candid cameras are about to pop out and aston kutcher is about to yell that we all got punked.

Nope that never happened this **** was the real deal. Nice thing was that I got free tickets to another show and got to finish the movie. They even rolled back the real to where we were before all this crap broke out.

Crazy people I tell ya.

Why would they protest a movie that's about their core beliefs?

I think they were a little confused.

Thats the funniest stuff Ive heard in a long time...I would have been hard pressed not to knock the hell out of one of them if they touched me...Do you think saying they assaulted me would have held up in court...
Similar thing happened to me in AvsP..Except I stood up screaming about the aliens taking over the world...Why is it i make a prediction im crazy...but when someone else does it they are christian....oh well...

Sure would have. Unless you stabbed them or something.

What the hell is going on in here? Can I be BANNED to? Kao, are you optimizing the systems or something?

Ok good. It is not just me.

I think that is what Kao considers "seemless", or "transparent to the user". lol

that was my fault, working on the banned links filter

my first try was to catch any post with the letters g o e b a y in close proximity, but it was getting posts that just had those in them for legit reasons "go to ebay to check on books!"

my second try was to catch go.ebay in the middle of what looks like a URL but instead it accidentally matched against any single letter bounded by spaces, or any periods.

Regex is sorta funky if you get one character wrong =P

That's pretty funny! At least they got you your money back/free ticket. That's strange though that they rewound the movie back to the point at which this started happening.
#10 Aug 30 2004 at 11:37 AM Rating: Decent
I would pay to the fight/freakout but not the movie.

And here I was worried I'd have to go to the state fair to see crowds of people behaving badly.

edit: I don't think telling us there's a point in the movie where a priest is fighting the devil was a real big spoiler. Smiley: wink2

Heh. I was halfway through the post before I realized he was talking about what was happening in the theater, not on the movie screen.

Damnit. I should have tried that. It would have been supreme funny.

Either way I got my 8 dollars worth that night, and then some.

Hehe.

I was hiking with some friends at a state park this weekend.

We found a dead fish on a beach, my friend picked it up with a stick and flung it at a huge fly that was chasing us, and yelled "The Power of Carp Compels You!"

Meh, most non-Catholic fundamentalists think Catholicism is a cult, so not really.

Man, the only time I have seen something like that is when I was in Waco. A bunch of crazy Baptists were boycotting the D&D movie that came out a few years ago. After seeing the movie I kind of agred with them and joined. It was that bad!!!

Now, the Exorcist was pretty good. I would probably complain to the management for the ruined movie. Even, though I would enjoy laughing at how stupid they are.

Gotta admit that the "Power of Christ compels you" idea is a good one! Smiley: grin

Bah! I write regex on the fly on the command line. Really!

and end up editing the line a zillion times to get it right

Should just have something like this:

's/.*\.go\.ebay\..*/BANNED/g'


That should pick out the exclusive string ".go.ebay." (which I realize will presumably be whacked by your code). I can't imagine any reason to use that exact string except as part of a web address.


Edit. If you want just the string, this should work better:

's/[^ ]*\.go\.ebay\.[^ ]*/BANNED/g'


since the [^ ]* syntax means "one more more non-whitespace characters", you'll match everything from one space to the next with the string ".go.ebay." included within it.

The "g" at the end will make sure to match if there are multiple instances that match the expression on a single line. If you don't include it someone can get around the expression by having the address posted twice in a line (regex will only match the first matching expression by default). Depending on what your reader sees as a "line" that could inlude an entire paragraph in a post on a forum like this.

How did they rewind the film for you? I've worked in the past as a movie theatre manager/projectionist and its not like its a giant VCR they have up there...

Sorry, I'm just into the technical aspect of whatever theatre this was.

I assume they just rolled back to the reel2reel???

I have less of an idea than you do.
