A TA in my cinema class @ Washing...Funny story....<br /><br />A TA in my cinema class @ Washington in 1998 got his undergrad from NYU and he was working at a bar in the same neighborhood where they were shooting A Bronx Tale.<br /><br />So, one day after shooting, Bobby D comes in with his crew. My TA was working the register and Bob sez: "Hey, can I get a beer?" My TA doesn't turn. Bob sez: "Hey. Can I get a beer? Hey. Hey!" My TA turns and sez: "You talkin to me?"Ruben Romerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328013951571018512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190627334056603500.post-61951740488662239412010-05-03T09:13:07.924-07:002010-05-03T09:13:07.924-07:00Glad you enjoyed it, April.

Taxi Driver is one of my all time favourite films, it just has so much depth to it. It's one of the most wonderfully portrayed character pieces I've ever seen. <br /><br />My favourite part is how he declares he will get fit and strong yet we see him popping pills, barely getting sleep and eating sugar laden meals. He is a "walking contradiction", just like the record he shows Betsy at the diner.<br /><br />I do recall reading two books about the making of Taxi Driver. This was early last year sometime and I'm actually certain that the infamous 'you talkin' to me' scene was totally improvised on de niro's count.<br /><br />April Skye xx<br /><br />http://ticketsandpopcorn.blogspot.comApril Skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920061009601227380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190627334056603500.post-3850372733627724972010-05-02T09:57:02.774-07:002010-05-02T09:57:02.774-07:00That's funny.
