director of the exocist

he went to senn and was a big basketball player. How did North not have this guy on his show at least every year?

Fr. Karras, do you have any thoughts on his passing for us?

Friedkin.

The Exorcist is one of the great reactionary movies to come out of/against the 60s counterculture.

The French Connection is an absolute masterpiece and is one of the cultural texts that played a key role in shifting representations of the city in the midst of deindustrialization.

His biggest miss I think was “The Guardian”. But he had a pretty solid career.

Bummer

I liked To Live and Die in LA.

The Exorcist and The French Connection are two of my all time favorites. Blue Chips wasn't bad either.

There are no experts. You probably know as much about death as most priests. But William was a good guy. If Jews are allowed in Heaven, I'm sure that's where he is.

Don't give that false hope
