Do you think it's wrong?

Do you think it's wrong to root for Satan?

Last night I went to see "The Exorcist; the Beginning." I know that pre-quels have gained in popularity in the last few years even though it was probably best just left alone. I love the original "Exorcist" for the same reasons everyone else did, it was fantastic dialogue and cheesy special effects. This movie didn't have much of that. In fact, this movie was horrible and boring. The only good part was towards the end when the actual "Satan" character comes out. She is very funny. Throw in a few dozen african tribesmen, a hyena conjuring shy little boy and an old drunk with complexion problems and you have this entire movie.


(See I ruined it, yes, Satan takes over another woman's body. An argument could be made here on different cases. Is Satan a woman because Satan is feminine, gay, and thus evil, or is it simply misogyny because women are weak and susceptible to, ala Eve, doing Satans bidding),

The funniest part of the entire show is when Satan is sitting on top of a priest and saying "You want to stick your cock in this whores ass!" The special effects were laughable, especially when Satan is flailing her arms and being pulled towards the priest down a long tunnel....And only once did I hear "the power of Christ compels you!" All in all, disappointing.

I went out after and have now come up with the one word that describes my experience of being sober around intoxicated people, Jarring.
