Tarantino Hails a Taxi

Today THE FUTURIST! ends his week of Tarantino's epic verbal praising of some of his favorite films. The film he salutes in this post is Taxi Driver. He calls it the best movie of the 70s. This is a double video post, due to the fact that the first video cuts off suddenly ... and the second video is the conclusion with a rumored story about Scorsese and his thoughts of murdering a film executive due to the studio wanting to cut his film.

It was exciting to watch Mr. Tarantino expound on certain cinematic delights he relishes. THE FUTURIST!, as he watched these little verbal dissertations, thought of the excitement a food fetishist would have with a grand banquet. Tarantino gets into an orgasmic-like lather over cinema ... he cuts his arms through the air around him like cutlery and almost needs a lobster bib to catch the drippings from his voracious movie love drooling. "Ah, yes ... I'll have that Scorsese Salad, a bit of that DePalma Split Screen Soup, some Altman soft focus cheese, a slice of Bava Devil's Food Cake with that really really red cherry sauce, oh .. and two of those MacGuffins! yes! A blueberry and a cranberry MacGuffin! ... and some Blaxploitation pudding and Superfly Pie! Some Linguine a la Leone ... Dessert? Oh, an Italian Morricone with a glass of red Argento. Oh, dear God, I'm famished!"

Enjoy.
