On William Friedkin's passing, writer and film critic Ed Whitfield posted this on Twitter(X) and Facebook : "William Friedkin once said to me, 'Ed, the guy who made those new Halloween sequels is about to make one to my movie, the Exorcist. That's right, my signature film is about to be extended by the man who made Pineapple Express. I don't want to be around when that happens. But if there's a spirit world, and I can come back, I plan to possess David Gordon Green and make his life a living hell.

That's funny.

I know I shouldn't encourage Hollywood to keep doing this kind of thing, but I'll probably see the Exorcist anyway. Sorry, Mr. Friedkin. RIP

Yeah. If you ever watch any interviews with Friedkin, he speaks his mind and does not hold back. He is also very funny. I would of loved to hear what he thought about the finished product, because David Gordon Green use to be a great filmmaker, but the last two Halloween movies were embarrassing.

The other thing you’ll notice is that he sounds almost exactly like Donald Trump, check it out: https://youtu.be/BOc__mvXcOg?si=1rsrUnYaXyRZxSRj

This NEEDS to happen to a complete hack like Green!
