Thanks for the comments, for those who haven't seen this 1976 movie it is a tour de force for Robert De Niro and Jodi Foster. Nothing can prepare you for the apocalypse as Travis Bickle (De Niro) starts cleaning out the sewer. "Are you talking to me?" holds it's own with Jack Nicholson's "Here's Johnny!" in the Shining. Both are a real walk on the dark side of life.

I had never seen this movie either but gosh, it seems like one creepy taxi driver to me, and you've captured it oh-so well here, John! Congrats on your win! :D

Howdy John! Hope problems don't accumulate in 2's this year and I hope that the New Year is off to a great start! I keep a little list of movies I would like to see and as soon as the weather turns cold, I begin chiseling away at it. I will add your taxi driver to it..looks inviting and super exciting! Congrats on this win. C O N G R A T S! Gwendolen
