William Friedkin: A Quiet Little Thriller

It has now been 27 years since Exorcist author William Blatty published a new novel, so as the director of the film derived from that novel, I chose to interview him about it.

Reminds me of the parents in CA who wanted the dictionaries removed from the school library because they had "dirty words" in them - ie, definitions for words pertaining to sex.

Giving children correct terminology for body parts, their functions, and their sensations, could also empower children. They might grow up with healthy attitudes regarding their bodies and with less guilt.

Puuhhlease, it would have been better if this nation were like Australia and founded by convicts instead of Puritans. The story has been spun to be told as if they came here in search of religious freedom when in fact they were driven out due to their assinine beliefs. They came here and pressed women to death because they were witches. We still have the Puritan mentality embedded in our society and it does way more harm than good. Beware of conservative Christians.

"Parent Angers After Child Given 'Graphic Sex Book' By School" - Shouldn't that be 'angry'. 'Parent angers' sounds so English as a second language. Also the book wasn't a gift it was borrowed from the school library.

Nice try.

Why this is a topic I can only wonder. No details given only a salacious headline.
