I called James yesterday to see if he wanted to go see Paul Schrader's nearly-lost Exorcist prequel; he said that he and Amy had already seen it, and that it was astonishingly bad. "Like something you'd see late at night on UPN in the 70s" were his exact words, I think.
I had to see it for myself, of course; and you can now read my review of it, which is essentially just a prolapsed version of James' sentiment, with fancier words.
I'm not really feeling too horrific these days, but as long as I'm on the subject, I'll mention that the new poster for The Devil's Rejects is the finest piece of promotional artwork I've seen in ages.

I had high hopes for Dominion. Based on the little I heard about it over the past year or so and Roger Ebert's favorable review about a month back, it seemed like it could have been something special, or at least good. Oh well.

Well, as with any filmmaker worth his salt, Schrader's failure is not uninteresting, per se. If you'd been looking forward to it, I certainly wouldn't want to discourage you from seeing it...
