[edit] Unsourced Claim

The article previously stated, He wrote the prequel to "The Exorcist" called "Exorcist: Dominion", after this sequel was reshot by Renny Harlin as "Exorcist: The Beginning", he still received writer credit, despite having nothing to do with the re-writes and changes. Carr received a writing credit pursuant to Writers Guild rules; therefore, he had to contribute something substantial. The Writers Guild does not discuss credit arbitrations, so asserting Carr's contribution to the screenplay was "nothing" seems to be entirely speculative. Therefore, I removed the sentence in question.BehroozZ 23:58, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] B.A. in History

Just wondering if people actually get B.A. degrees in military and diplomatic history. I was a history major and the only choice we got was "History", not Asian, European, Modern, etc. If Mr. Carr chose to take the military offerings, (how many could there have been in the undergrad dept?) does that mean someone could say he majored in military history?

[edit] The Alienist

    • He did a great job writing the book.

At first I thought the book was something like X-Files but i was sorely wrong. It was way better. Psychologist at the time the book was written were called Alienist. And the book was about a group of people hunting down Psycho's or Serial Killers, and about a doctor(psychologist) keenly interested in how the psycho's and serial killers develop the appetite to kill.

I couldnt agree more with you. I am sorry to write on this page, I tried to log in to no avail. I've been waiting for someone to produce and direct the best film of the Alienist possible. It deserves to be filmed - there's so much history there. I also would love to see someone put together a film that tells the story of how society moves from the Religious to the Occult to the Scientific; using the themes contained in the Exorcist, the Alienist - drawing from what we already know of psychology and religion, and showing how little, or how much civilizaiton has come since the inception of an 'apostalic, university church'; the fumblings of Freud, the emptyness of NASA, and man's quest for truth through apocolyptic scriptures.66.193.147.225 (talk) 05:30, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
