Richard Burton, The Longest Day 1962

Travis Prepares “I remember, here, De Niro was deep in conversation with Scorsese - who’s out of shot. “Often, the anxiety and tension of actually making the film registered more on Scorsese’s face. Bobby was in character pretty much all the time - something this picture captures.”

Iris & Iris “Jodie Foster was only 12 when she played the part of Iris, a young street hooker. Before that, she’d starred in a few polite Disney family films. But it was amazing how she gave a performance worthy of a seasoned actress. “Her 19-year-old sister Connie became her film double - and her chaperone.”

Applause Please “De Niro’s ‘method’ is intense and extreme but he felt that he had to go as far as he could because of the nature of the character - an ex-marine soldier who is physically and mentally preparing to shoot a civilian.”

Bobby, Marty, er… Paulie “This is Paul Schrader, the writer, sharing a joke with Marty and Bobby. “At one point, both Schrader and Scorsese thought about becoming priests or ministers. They saw Taxi Driver as a religious ritual movie set in an everyday world. Travis Bickle would work to ‘purify’ the city and then martyr himself. Schrader loved the idea of his gun not going off when he tries to kill himself.”

“There will be no more bad food…”“De Niro’s famous for doing a lot of preparation and for Taxi Driver, he drove a cab at night for a month so he could become Travis Bickle both internally and externally.“Pretty much everything you see Travis doing - including working out - Bobby did for real.”

zombiesenelghetto: Joe Strummer and Martin Scorsese in NYC 1981. In May/June of 1981, The Clash were booked to play at the curiously named “Bond’s International Casino” in New York City in support of the sprawling 3-record Sandinista! album. They were meant to play just eight gigs in the smallish Times Square space, but the performances were dangerously oversold by greedy promoters. Fire marshals and the NY Building Department closed down both of the May 30th concerts, but the band vowed to honor every last ticket and the number of shows was extended to seventeen, with matinee and evening performances added.
