The one on Muse that he did with Deodato is crazy too
I was going to see him last month, but he had to cancel due to an issue with his back which did not allow him to sit upright for long periods of time. Unsure if that and his death, aside from his age, were related. I got to see him live five years ago, though.
His life story is pretty remarkable. From childhood, WWII, Civil Rights, entertainment career, etc etc etc. What a life. Dude should really have his story properly told on the big screen.
Sinéad O'Connor, theres been so much talk about Tony Bennett over the last few days i didnt here about her passing, and she was only 56. what a wild life she had.
Not sure if this is what was being referred to, but according to Wiki there was a second incident ten years after, this time involving questionable materials tucked away inside lot buys of vintage gay man raer. If I were in his dapper white shoes, I would have exercised discernment to vet and report garbage from an otherwise legal collection. However it was similar to Pete Townshend's "I was doing research to prove a point" case: insufficient evidence.
Everyone talks about "Exorcist", "French Connection" and "To Live And Die In L.A.", as they should, but "Sorcerer" is underrated; one of the best remakes ever. And "Killer Joe"...that was something else.
Johnny Hardwick aka Dale Gribble aka Rusty Shackleford aka Sparky Wilson aka the Arlen Soldier Of Fortune died...or DID he?
I wasn't a massive "Exorcist" fan but I did like 3, with the best jump-scare of all-time. Just checked, Friedkin eventually quit that production but it doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the film. Although, I guess it's been a while and I probably wouldn't watch it now - mentally I'm looking for something less emotionally draining.
But not Adam Sandler. I said "Less emotionally draining."
I loved "French Connection" and "L.A"., especially the surprise ending.
I need to see "Sorcerer" and "Killer Joe". I remember my brother raving about the former. Roy Scheider was a master at portraying a man out of his depth.
In terms of late output, Killer Joe is wild, but my privatemindgarden fav is Bug. Great slow burn creepy love story with a jaw-droppingly intense ending.
I don't know how I missed this, but Friedkin directed Blue Chips with Nolte and Shaq.
Friedkin's a major one, though I've only seen the basics from him. It's made me want to properly dive in to some of his lesser known stuff as everything of his I've seen, I've enjoyed. His commentary and interviews that were passed around after his death have shown him to be quite a voice, too.
Richard Davis. A solid resume and discography, that guy.
Fun fact: the LP above was intended to be the soundtrack to a TV pilot / film where he was going to play a silent, Christlike junkyard owner who cares for neighborhood kids. Of course, it never came to be.
Most of McCallum's obituaries I have read, completely gloss over his contribution to music.
Indeed. He was from a musical background - his parents were both classical musicians; his mother, Dorothy Dorman, a cellist, his father, David McCallum, a violinist and leader of the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Whatever dimension it's from, I must have come from there.

Good innings, the youth. Got to know him via Bill Evans, the consummate accompanist.
Oops. Maybe it is real. So odd. I just read an article yesterday saving his death was a hoax.
Paedo Herman.
It was a porno theater, not a kid's film.

If he can he do it on a windy night in Wolfsburg...

And with Alexrod, sampled for Dre's "The Next Episode".
