That Von Trier "Taxi Driver" Remake
I'd be happy to be wrong, because it would be pretty crazy, but rumors that Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro are planning a remake of Taxi Driver with Lars von Trier should be viewed with extreme skepticism if not outright disbelief. Here are some words and phrases that might help you reach the same conclusion: "it is being suggested," "is said to be," "remains to be seen," "he may now feel," "neither confirmed nor denied," "Lars von Trier," and "the prospect… has been discussed enthusiastically."
Maybe it's a musical.
And the taxi will be a cardboard box.
Here's my contribution. Look out Broadway! I'm the real rain of talent!
Don't Make No Difference to Me (S. Magician for the Awl)
All the animals come out at night.
What a sight!
Whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal.
And here's me!
This is what I see!
Don't make no difference to me.
No matter what I see.
It does affect some.
But they ain't fun!
Someday a real rain will come.
A rain that's different than some.
One that will wash all this scum.
Off the streets.
Wouldn't that be neat!
Don't make no difference to me.
No matter what I see.
It does affect some.
But they ain't fun!
I go all over.
They might as well call me rover!
I take people to the Bronx.
I don't care!
I take people to the Brooklyn.
I don't care!
I take people to the Harlem.
I don't care!
Hey do I care?
"He don't care!"
Because…
Don't make no difference to me.
No matter what I see.
It does affect some.
But they ain't fun!
Some won't even take spooks.
Hey! What about those mooks!
Don't make no difference to me.
No matter what I see.
It does affect some.
But they ain't fun!
But for the fella you see.
It don't make no difference to me.
Look at me ma! I'm finally orgamazized!
Contrary to early reports, the fox who will say, "You talkin' to me?" will NOT be played by Nicole Kidman.
2010 Travis Bickle would have a two digit Fark account number, spend a lot of time pwning n3wbs on XBox Live and work for The Geek Squad. There would also be a lot of action figures and QVC "collectible" swords involved.
Sorry but this is hilariously spot on.

Somehow it's all Jodie Foster's character's fault in this version.
