When counterfeit money printed for To Live and Die in LA got into circulation, William Friedkin was contacted by the Secret Service and a DA to come in for questioning, Friedkin basically told them to go fuck themselves and then immediately spent more counterfeit money lol

there will never be another William Friedkin -- he was the definition of an iconoclast, told it like it was and was decidedly stubborn down to the bitter end
he leaves behind a career of great films, even a few bonafide masterpieces, but also a lot of perfect interviews

We have received no clear explanation for why these layoffs had to happen.
As far as we can tell, they are not financially necessary or rooted in any coherent business plan from our publisher, who has said that he expects the company to be larger a year from now.

So much of the 2000's are probably forgotten by Colin Farrell, yet he will remember Charlie Rose annoying him by calling Miami Vice "Miami Whatever" until the day he dies, and that's beautiful to me

I’ve been kicked off a lot of platforms: Friendster, MySpace (a few times), FourSquare, Tinder, and been suspended here at least twice in the past. But it still brings me a smile to have completely destroyed the entire Spaces functionality
