GETTING MORE OF A KICK OUT OF THINGS

Recently, after waiting 11 years, I heard my favorite screenwriter Paul Schrader's version of The EXORCIST prequel, DOMINION, was being canned in favour of Renny Harlin remaking it.

When I heard that, I felt kinda like this:

A kick in the nuts.

Then when I was in LA recently, I went to Graumann's Chinese Theatre, the one with all the handprints out the front, and I actually saw DOMINION with 3 other people in the cinema.

Then, I felt kinda like this:

Comet-like objects crashing together in space.

It was, most certainly, a Transcendental film.

Jury's still out on what was transcended though.

Either way, Paul Schrader is a "God among writers."

Thought: Were Matt, Mark, Luke and John "Writers among god?"

Hmmm...
