If the first movie was about the last exorcism...


...how can there be a part two? Shouldn't they change the first movie's title to, "The Next to the Last Exorcism"?

Title fail.

This post will self-destruct...

It is like "The Neverending Story Part Two"

No, you can have a million never-ending stories because it's never ending. If something is called the last, it doesn't make any sense to have a part 2. If something is never ending, it can have an infinite amount of follow ups.

The was that because it was Cotton Marcus' last exorcism. He said that after that, he will spend more time with his family. That's why he wanted to document it - because it's his last. He also wanted to show how he fools everyone. But then it all went wrong and Nell really got possessed. And the pastor of their local church was part of a cult or something... Blah blah blah.

What's confusing me now is that this is not about Cotton Marcus' last exorcism anymore. It's not appropriate.

Not a title fail...just inappropriate.

Unless it is someone else's last exorcism, at which point I think they should call it Father So and So's Last Exorcism.

I believe the original working title of the first film was "Cotton" (the name of the minister) but they changed it.



The time we had together, we stole.

lol, someone is seriously answering the question? It's a joke, like this movie will be.

Jesus, its named that purely for a cash-in. Instead of thinking up something original, the producers simply say, "well, the first one did pretty well in the box office, so let's slap the same name on it, make it a sequel by casting a lead from the original (we won't have to pay the no-name girl that much), and let's just re-hash the same crap."

I can't wait for 'The Last Exorcism VIII - Jason Takes Manhatt.....no wait, I'm getting confused

John Hancock

If it was 'The Last Exorcism II' you would have a case. But it is 'The Last Exorcism PART II.'

The word 'part' is very important - it allows the makers to present this as a continuation of 'The Last Exorcism', rather than a sequel.

So much for tears / so much for these long and wasted years

i'm waiting for "The Last Exorcism: Part 6, The Last Part"

The Last Exorcism was Cotton's last exorcism.

The Last Exorcism Part 2 is Nell's last exorcism. So it all works.

But don't worry. Like the last stupid movie, they will ruin the first 85 minutes of this one with a bad ending. Maybe this time they'll have the 'aliens' mentioned in the beginning of the first one.

I liked the first one, until it went insane with bringing in that cult. They essentially pooped all over the first 85 or so minutes by adding on an ending that didn't fit with the tone and pace of the rest of the movie. It's like someone else did that very last part.

I hope that they make absolutely certain that evil wins this time around, instead of just implying it with the last one. That's about the only thing that can redeem this movie, IMO.

if they changed the title of the first one to "The Second To Last Exorcism", i'd be willing to forgive almost anything actually in either movie. That's the kind of long-term, multi-million dollar joke that you don't get to see much.

reply

you guys are so hilarious and witty and creative! Really pay attention:

The Last Exorcism PART II. Stop trying to be funny, when you obviously haven't seen the first one or have any idea about it. Sorry I'm not trying to defend this movie, as it will most likely be a huge flop, but I can't stand people trying to be funny by bashing a title of a film that they know nothing about.

reply

Even if the title is "The Last Exorcism PART II", the joke still works the same...it's still a sequel to a movie with "Last" in the title. You're defending this movie without a logical point. Explain yourself!

reply

I dont meant to defend the MOVIE like I said as it will probably flop and suck hard. I get tired of people trying to be funny and witty and creative by making fun of a title that doesnt matter.

reply

Defending the JUST the title...makes less sense, actually. If it will suck and you don't care, why does making fun of the title matter, like, at all? For having no personal interest, it's a pretty specific thing to be bothered by.

reply

I better title should have been : The Last Exorcism : The Remix.
