Rosemary's Baby?  Meh.  Exorcist pwn3d it and set the bar for Satan shit.

While I agree that Rosemary's Baby is over-rated, and that The Exorcist is a much better film, you do know that Rosemary's Baby came out 5 years earlier, right?

Yeah.  So?
The Exorcist changed the entire paradigm for the Satan/possession/demon genre, and made Rosemary's Baby completely forgettable.

Well, usually when somebody says something "set the bar" they're speaking in relation to what comes after.  I didn't think that you thought Rosemary's Baby came out after The Exorcitst, but I wanted to make sure.

Someone is grumpy tonight. What's wrong, find one of your runaway ex girlfriends underwear under the couch and got all nostalgic on us?
Winner of THE grumbler point.
