THE EXORCIST
I just watched The Exorcist again. This is still the 1973 movie, but the version never seen. That is, before it came on DVD, of course. Click HERE to see the preview.
Anyways, I am confused. I was really young when I first saw this movie, and @ that time, all I understood was that Regan was possessed.
I saw the movie with wonderful date (AKA my mom), and we both understood the movie differently. Remember the Priest, Damien? Well, his mother died @ some point and before she did, she kept saying, “why you do this to me, Damien?” When Regan was possessed, one of her voices was the voice of his mother.
There were two priests involved in the exorcism, and the older priest died (killed by Regan). Damien came in and got so mad that he started hitting Regan, and then he became possessed, or at least, I think he did, and threw himself out of the window.
Mom’s understanding: He was possessed all along. He killed his mother, killed the older priest, and was the cause of his mother’s death.
My understanding: I don’t understand it at all.
My Question now: Was Damien REALLy possessed? Did he really kill his mother and the older priest? What was the end (him throwin himseld outta d window) really about? Abeg, I need explanations b4 I lose it. I’ve watched enough confusing movies (no offense to Silent Hill – watch the preview HERE)
HORROR MOVIES
How do y’ll feel about horror movies? Personally, I don’t mind, but horror movie get level abeg. I don’t mind watching something like The Exorcist, or something with a lotta suspense, but I draw the line when it comes to a movie where someone goes on a killing spree. I don’t like movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre (preview HERE) and SAW III (preview HERE).
Uju wants to get me to go see SAW III with her, but I already told her she has lost what is left of her mind. That’s if she had any mind to start with sef.
CRAZY UJU
Speaking of Uju, on thursday, she sent me a text saying, “did I tell you that I found a grape seed in my shit?”
For goodness sake, abeg make una tell me, why the the hell would I care to know? I was sleeping when she sent the text, but I heard it and woke up. I read the text, hissed, and went right back to bed.
Then about 30 minutes later, she sent another one, “When is my period supposed to be here?”
I replied her and told her the date she was supposed to get her period (and boy was I accurate! Next time I’d give her a wrong date, so she can get a not-so wonderful surprise). Then I asked her if she ate the seed the found in her shit.
She replied, “It was just the seed; I wonder how come I did not chew the seed completely. Guess I will never know. You know this means thorough inspection of every molecule of shit that comes out of my body. I might need extra hands, so ask around for interested candidates.”
Okay everyone…you know how small a grape seed is, right? Well, can you imagine how close she had to be to her shit to notice a flippin’ grape seed?
Anyways, I am extending Uju’s invition to everyone. So if you’re interested in giving her a helping hand in inspecting every molecule of shit, then please, do send me an email, which I would forward to her unroyal highness.
Tomorrow, I would be attending the birthday party of Busola’s baby sister. She turns ten. I’ll try my best 2 take pictures, and hopefully make a video. If I do, you’d be first to see it.
That’s it for tonight.
Be back tomorrow…… or next

Beautifully Human says
Vera, unfortunately I have more important things to do than contemplate whether ‘Damien was really possessed’ and ‘why did the priest kill his mother’, etc. I still have 101 other blogs to peruse today. LOL
I personally dont mind horror movies, but its been sooo long since I saw one that really scared me to bits, so these days I dont bother anymore.

Vera Ezimora says
4dapeace: Thanks for stopping by. Ok, I know Damien was possessed @ the end, but has he always been possessed? Does he have anything to do with Regan’s possession? I mean, I am not aware that he ever met her b4 her possession. Arrgh, I am so freakin confused.
Beautifully Human: You no dey fear o! You have more important things 2 do than my very important need to understand The Exorcist? Chei! Imagine this small pikin insultin me oh. Just wait till I get to you.
NaijaBloke: It’s Uju oh. She’s the one that feels the need to tell me about her shit. You see how I suffer?
Biodun: Uju is just crazy, that’s all. I don’t know how else to describe the girl for real.
