    William Friedkin - RIP

    One of the greatest ever film directors has died. His movies are raw, visceral and demanding to watch.

    I wish he'd kept this in The Exorcist:

    He was uncompromising in getting the best:

    The Exorcist "curse" is well documented but here's Wiki's take on the future (serial) killer that was in a scene with Regan in hospital:

    That inspired Friedkin to make this (NSFW):

    Exorcist is my sister's favourite film. One of mine, for sure.

    I'll take a look at those links later, thanks!

    I'm a fan of the French Connection, but I was too young to see the Exorcist when it first came out and when I did it had already been spoofed, so just seemed a bit laughable in parts.

    Huge fan of To Live and Die In LA...sticking that on with a couple of cold ones tonight. One of that '70s class of auteurs whose work cannot be rivalled..Peter Biskin's book is a great read on the subject.
