Hey All,
Just finished watching the excellent "Making of" Taxi Driver documentary on the SE dvd and wanted to see if anyone else found the Scorsese drawn storyboards that are show in it as gut-bustingly hilarious as I did.
There is something so marvelous about his simply rendered blueprints for what is surely one of the most memorable and influencial shoot-outs in film history. They way he includes blood gushing everywhere in red ink was the capper. So child-like and terrifying at the same time.
Those alone made the disc worth picking up.
So did they amuse anyone else or do I belong in the cell right between Travis Bickle and Hannibal Lecter?
