never been able to sit through The Excorcist, given it about half a dozen tries over the years. something about it bores me to death

Actually, I agree somewhat... it has a very slow start. Once it gets moving there is a lot to enjoy.

you're right Rev, it's the start. it seems to drag on forever. maybe next time I'll skip it in a bit!

The beginning of that film, the views of Georgetown, the subtle lulling of the audience, autumn leaves falling, is perhaps my favorite part.  Then it starts and it gets uglier and uglier.  I think the film is still shocking.
