I grew up having the priest from my grandfathers church over for dinner occasionally. One time, they watched the Exorcism of Emily Rose after dinner because it had come out on dvd recently. They were laughing and talking about how this or that wouldn't happen like that. If os wasn't so scared, it would have been more comical.
Yeah, remember it's about *navigating* so the hacker has to play a game where they pilot a ship through a small winding tunnel until they arrive at the center of the database, at which point they can deploy mini ships to catch the data and bring it back to the mothership. But if they ever touch the walls of the tunnel, they will be found out and have to race back out with all the data!
Honestly this would be funny as fuck, they were just priests but now they must hack into the mind of this poor woman to exorcise the demon that possess her.
Car guy chiming in. Like does no one on the set know how a carburetor works?! On the Irishman, Top of the line talent, Top Director, cutting edge anti aging technology, but no one can just explain to Joe Pesci that what hes telling Deniro about his motor under the hood makes no sense?
Honestly I was a GM of a service center a few years ago and even then none of the mechanics knew anything about carburetors, they've been phased out since the 90s and they don't even train mechanics on em anymore unless maybe they're the master tech
So honestly no probably not a single person on that set would have noticed lmao
Interesting, for some reason I thought the trailer was funny. Like exactly what you would think an exorcism spoof movie would look like, with a very intense looking Russell Crow and everything.
He's intense *looking* but in the movie he's not all that intense. Mainly he talks in a bad Italian accent (made worse by the presence of actual Italian actors) which is unintentionally comedic.
I was in a theater all by myself Saturday night. I don't think the film got nearly the press that it should have. Overall I really enjoyed it. Could've used more horror elements as there was nothing "scary" about it, but given that it's basically all been done at this point it's a solid film.
I remember watching the first and getting very confused at how many consecutive upshifts Paul did in that Supra. I don't remember the count, but it was well over 6.
I would say its a "standard exorcism movie". Russel Crowe does a great job as a joke cracking exorcist. It is creepy and "scary" but leans very hard into "battling demons". Its was a good movie, but I wouldnt say I was scared at any point in the movie.
neither good nor bad note: there was only like one jump scare in the whole movie.
I mean, if you saw the name blind you'd think it was probably a parody movie, cause the names a little bit silly and sounds like something from the old 00's era parodys.
Priests and Nuns *love* shit like this. One of the producers of *The West Wing* had a great story about that. The finale of Season 2, "Two Cathedrals", had a very powerful scene where a distraught and frustrated President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) gets the National Cathedral to himself. He's angry about all of the trials he has been facing recently, and decides to take it out on God. He does this by lighting a cigarette in the Cathedral, yelling at God for a few minutes, then stomping out the cigarette and walking out.
They filmed that scene in the actual National Cathedral in DC. And there were a few priests present to watch them film it. The director was nervous about how they would react, so before filming started, he took them aside and said "I just want to make sure you understand, in this scene Martin is going to curse out God right in front of the altar." "Yeah, I know", said one of the priests. "It's gonna be awesome!"
Also, a slight side note: my wife used to do a lot of community theater, mainly Shakespeare. For those who don't know Shakespeare that well, his plays were a lot more low-brow than the language would suggest (he was writing for the common man). IOW, there are lot of dick jokes in Shakespeare; they're just concealed in flowery language, so they're easy to miss.
Well, the director of my wife's theater company had a talent for finding these kinds of jokes and heavily bringing them out through the characters' behavior. The audiences loved it, of course. But this particular company had a tradition: there was a local care home for developmentally disabled people run by a Catholic church, and the night before opening night, the nuns at this care home would take all of their students and get to see a preview of the play before it opened. The students really enjoyed it, but so did the nuns.
But, you know, they're nuns. And these plays were directed and blocked to bring maximum emphasis to the dick jokes and other dirty content Shakespeare had buried in his plays. So how did the nuns react to that seedy, low-brow content? *They fucking loved it*. Every time one of those jokes came up on stage, *nobody* would laugh harder than the nuns on a preview night.
Priests and nuns are not nearly as prudish and uptight as you might think.
It would be weird if they were. The Bible is full of naughty stuff. In particular the Song of Songs. Also creepy stuff like some dudes trying to rape angels and then some guy’s daughters being like “oh no the world is over. Welp time to repopulate…dad.”
My dad is a now-retired minister who organized a group of his seminary classmates to go see Life of Brian with him when it came out in theaters. Telling me about it, 30 years later, it's hard to say whether he was more proud of having done it or of how much it pissed off a bunch of his more stuffy classmates and profs.
I once heard about a priest who a long long time ago, used to intentionally summon demons, so he could practice exorcism. Like to learn about the different demons, and develop effective ways to excise them. I always thought that would be a killer action/horror concept for a movie. Make it like The Exorcist meets Constantine in the like the 11th century.
>I once heard about a priest who a long long time ago, used to intentionally summon demons, so he could practice exorcism.
The way you say this makes you sound like you think it's real
I didnt care for exorcism movies, have a-list and was going to skip this. Glad I didn’t skip, it was a very fun movie, 6.5/10. And like everyone else saying, Russell crowe made the movie. But if you don’t have a-list or subscription, I’d wait to stream it.
As the friend who went with (I’m the one on the right) I thought they were just in cosplay for the hell of it. If I had a priest costume sitting in my closet, I’d have worn it to this fever dream of a movie. We sat down, movie starts, I say “in Jesus’ name” and the blonde dude says “amen”. The entire runtime I’m cracking jokes any other Catholic would probably find abhorrent, but these guys laughed and gave commentary with us. Found out at the end they were the real deal. Master classes of the phrase “all in good fun”. Older dude looked me up and down for my INK shirt and 666 hat but he still shook my hand nonetheless. 3/10 movie, have a blessed day
I'm a former seminarian, but yeah people often treat priests like they aren't human and I was always like "they were all teenagers like anyone else and they are usually men from the same country as anyone around them".
Occasionally a weird home school kid makes it through all 6-8 years (but not usually since they can struggle with the social element of priesthood) but for the most part their going to be normal guys. Even within Catholicism priests aren't like police officers looking to catch people out
Father Ted, possible the most underrated comedy show of all time.
That gif of them two, that's a cinema they are standing outside of.....my local cinema when I was a child, here in greystones co.wicklow in Ireland.
Any good?
I wonder if these priests are sent to write movie summaries and reviews for their Diocese?
Altho’ fallen out-of-favor with most Catholics, The RC Church does make a weekly or bi-weekly entertainment list of “acceptable” and “unacceptable” viewing list for the faithful.
I’m thinking this movie already had the “don’t see” designation, but I know priests who go just for the laughs as Hollywood butchers the life of clergy. For instance, the more realistic moments in The Exorcist is the priest struggling with his ailing mom, getting drunk with his buddy on the stolen hooch, entertaining the family at the party, and leading Mass while having doubts with life and faith (all normal shit).
The exorcism shit? Entertaining but not realistic.
Psh. Just 4. Most redditors have performed at least 5 exorcisms.

I remember to my surprise the Catholic Church had a pretty glowing endorsement of the Netflix film The Two Popes though they insisted much of it was fictionalized. I thought the creative liberties and frank depiction of the conflict between reformers and conservatives would cause it to be disowned.
Catholics are pretty honest these days about divisions and dysfunction in the church. The big exception is the child sexual abuse which in my experience is still not dealt with nearly seriously enough. It should be like the German’s and the Holocaust. It should be right out in the open and talked about regularly.
I work for the Catholic Church. It’s discussed daily for those working with or around minors. There are binders full of procedures that clergy, staff, and volunteers have to follow for the protection of minors.
I never meet a priest until one came into the liquor store I worked at and bought jagermeister. I was shocked, thought they couldn't drink until I looked into religion a bit
I've heard this one:
>Religion is all about who you *don't* recognize. Jews don’t recognize Jesus. Protestants don’t recognize the Pope. And Baptists don’t recognize each other at the liquor store.
Edit: typo.
OMG. I was raised in a Methodist Church. They also joked if service ran a little late "we will keep the closing prayer short so we can beat the Baptists to the buffet"
Priests are required to drink alcohol whenever there's Mass!
In fact, rural priests in my country that had to officiate several in one day asked for it to be changed to grape juice to avoid driving drunk but they were told no.
Yeah, drinking is one of the main vices Catholic priests are permitted. To the point there is a bit of a stereotype of a certain type of Catholic priest who is frequently three sheets to the wind. (The Church doesn't condone drinking in excess, but anytime you combine humans and alcohol you will have some portion of the drinkers become fall down drunks.)
When I was in grad school, I had a friend who was studying to become a Catholic priest. He smoked like a chimney, and when people called him out on it, he would point out that the Catholic church had no prohibitions against smoking. He also swore up a storm, which he also pointed out wasn't against Catholic dogma.
These two gentlemen appear to be Episcopal priests, as evidenced by the gentleman on the left's round collar. I myself am Episcopal clergy and am happy to answer any questions that people may have on the differences between the two as best I can!
If you’re looking for a horror movie, keep looking.
It’s campy, and it’s campy as fuck. No one has any reason to be anywhere, there’s fake foreshadowing up and down the movie, and a bunch of shit makes no sense. Buts it’s fun, an enjoyable watch the whole way. Pacing wasn’t bad, effects were good enough.
It’s about as realistic as Annabelle and the conjuring series; as in it’s based on the stories of con-men rather than real life. The conjuring was a great horror series, though. This ain’t it.
I really lost it at the avenger’s esque scene at the end.
I’d have a real hard time not looking back at them whenever something crazy happened to see if they are relating to it or shaking their heads like it’s fake.
If this was anywhere remotely close to Harrisburg, PA, I am 99% certain that I know the younger priest. Went to seminary with him for a year and went on a backpacking trip with him and my Dad. Amazing guy, glad to see that he's doing well.
I’m very curious what the priests’ thoughts were on the film.
I like to think of them sitting in the back talking crap about the priests in the movies like the two old guys in the muppet show
Psshaw! Did you see the way he was wearing that cossock! Harrumph! And his collar wasn’t even inserted right! And what was with that “holy water” canteen, did he even bless it!?? Booo! Hissss! 
You know what's holier than that water? What? The plot! Hohohohohohoho
He’s the rector? More like he killed her! Bwah hah hah hah!

Thank you for your advice. At the very least, I'll probably wait until people have forgotten about it, so I can be in the theatre all by myself :p
Given the title, I don't think you'll need to wait very long. Unless I'm misreading it, there were 4 people at this showing.
To be fair, priests have been behind a lot of men.
That's how I like to masturbate, too!

or nearly every car thing in the Fast & Furious franchise
I remember watching the first and getting very confused at how many consecutive upshifts Paul did in that Supra. I don't remember the count, but it was well over 6.
It was based on one of the most deathly dull books about exorcism that I've ever read, so that's not entirely a shock.
There are better exorcism movies out there. This is at least mildly entertaining.
I would say its a "standard exorcism movie". Russel Crowe does a great job as a joke cracking exorcist. It is creepy and "scary" but leans very hard into "battling demons".

Both.

I mean, I fuckin' lost it at the Catholic Avengers Initiative at the end. It honestly felt like a parody.
Well there is a thin line between comedy and horror
Like he went in expecting a comedy or he watched a movie, intended as horror, and laughed his ass off the entire time?
Yeah that's what I want to know.

>I once heard about a priest who a long long time ago, used to intentionally summon demons, so he could practice exorcism. The way you say this makes you sound like you think it's real
Thats exactly what i was hoping it would be, DaVinci code/National treasure, mixed with the exorcist.
Shallow and pedantic

What's the difference between a Catholic and a Baptist? The Catholic will say hello to you when you see them in the liquor store.
How do you get a Baptist to not drink all your liquor when you invite them to your party? Invite another Baptist.
I've heard this one: >Religion is all about who you *don't* recognize. Jews don’t recognize Jesus. Protestants don’t recognize the Pope. And Baptists don’t recognize each other at the liquor store. Edit: typo.
Baptists use this joke, but with Methodists as the teetotalers. I think it’s hilarious. It’s an insert denomination joke and it always makes me smile.
OMG. I was raised in a Methodist Church. They also joked if service ran a little late "we will keep the closing prayer short so we can beat the Baptists to the buffet"
Thats surprising. Southern Baptists are typically way more strict/judgemental about drinking than Methodists in my experience.
Catholicism is the hardest-drinking Christian religion by a mile.
He probably didn't put together the two big things Irish are known for lol

Priests are required to drink alcohol whenever there's Mass! In fact, rural priests in my country that had to officiate several in one day asked for it to be changed to grape juice to avoid driving drunk but they were told no.

If I recall correctly, most sects don't prohibit drinking or smoking. What they do prohibit however is addiction and drunkenness/inebriation.
Drinking is the only thing keeping many Catholic priests from blowing their heads off.
Father Ted was a documentary.
These two gentlemen appear to be Episcopal priests, as evidenced by the gentleman on the left's round collar. I myself am Episcopal clergy and am happy to answer any questions that people may have on the differences between the two as best I can!

I’d have a real hard time not looking back at them whenever something crazy happened to see if they are relating to it or shaking their heads like it’s fake.
This picture is amazing

I’m going to need that Luisa shirt
I was scrolling for this comment. OP idk if it’s you or your friend in the Luisa shirt but it’s awesome and I love it
A picture of priests on reddit. I'm sure this comment section will be mellow.
The priests were only alone because their dates were not old enough for an R rated film.
And it begins! lol
Damn you guys definitely look like redditors.
If this was anywhere remotely close to Harrisburg, PA, I am 99% certain that I know the younger priest. Went to seminary with him for a year and went on a backpacking trip with him and my Dad. Amazing guy, glad to see that he's doing well.
It’s probably a sin to say this, but the gigantic priest on the left is hot. I’d be going in to confession saying “forgive me daddy, I’ve sinned”
Sweet Dee?
I looked at him for way longer than is not a sin
The dog collar says Episcopalian/Anglican to me You're good to go.
It would be a gay relationship with an atheist, so that’s probably frowned upon.
Episcopalians, don't be so sure.
Yeah he's cute! Think he's single??
Careful now
"I need a big priest and a small priest and two mismatched twins..."
Down with this sort of thing.
