Two years ago, Friedkin read my essay on SORCERER, and insisted that I call him. It was mind-blowingly kind of him. What followed was a 2-hour phone call that was thrilling, hilarious, terrifying, confounding, and exhilarating. Just like his films. Rest east, Hurricane Billy

William Friedkin, the Oscar-winning director of 'The French Connection' and 'The Exorcist,' who was one of the most admired directors to emerge from a wave of brilliant filmmakers who made their mark in the 1970s, has died: thr.cm/ZLSKko6

SOMEONE out there has to have cracked the code of getting three kids out the door in the morning AND two parents ready for work without tears, right? Is it really just “hire a nanny even though everyone is in school/daycare because you can’t do it any other way”?

Loved this thread & it made me think of Mr. Natale (my 9th grade English teacher who provided the first really enjoyable space for me in public school) & hope that I’ve been this teacher for even just ONE of my students in the past 18 years.

I was not a good high school student — my mother died the summer before my 9th grade year, and I really struggled. I got suspended often for fighting, for yelling at teachers. Not a lot of people in the building believed in me.

Writing like this is why I subscribe to Bright Wall/Dark Room. As somebody who grew up in Southern California, I can attest that this is emotionally accurate! This is excerpted from Elizabeth Cantwell’s essay on Steven Spielberg’s DUEL.

@eccantwell Just looked through the DP’s filmography. He shot Domino for Tony Scott! Movie’s a bit incoherent but probably the wildest looking studio film since Oliver Stone got reined in?
