I caught a NYTimes hosted screening of The French Connection where Friedken took questions afterward. He was there, ostensibly, to promote his new film - Killer Joe (which was rather mediocre, by the way). Friedken seemed like a really awesome guy, answering questions by bridging the gap between them and some marginally-related anecdote. He wasn't nearly as wooden as some of the other 'stars' I've seen take questions in a similar format. I thought I'd like to have a beer with him.
