RIGHT NOW: The Western-insured supertanker on the right is 333m long and 60m wide. She is taking on $175M of Iranian oil while spoofing her position over AIS. And some genius thought that three small strips of black nylon tarp would be the perfect disguise.
RIP William Friedkin. One of the biggest highlights of our time at WW has been working with and getting to know director William Friedkin. He was one of a kind. A true pioneer of filmmaking that told it like it is. A straight shooting visionary that everyone will talk about and be inspired by as long as movies are still getting made. He was punk before punk rock was a thing. You could feel the electricity radiating from him. Our relationship started when we released THE EXORCIST original soundtrack back in 2017. We held a sold out in-store signing on Halloween at @amoebamusic that lasted for hours. Billy stuck around and signed every single thing placed in front of him, and he spoke to every fan that stood in a line that wrapped around the store. This led to us working closely together on releasing CRUISING for the very first time, and then Tangerine Dream’s 1977 debut film score SORCERER. We’re going to miss him a lot.
