So is it trying to say that Travis' attempt to eliminate the scum showed that he was just as bad as them? It seemed like the majority of the film was just building Travis' hate of everybody else, showing how everybody was cold and distant, insane, or degenerate, when in the end his climactic showdown with the criminals was pretty much as cold hearted and violent as prostitution? The ending scene also makes it clear that his attempt to save Iris was as traumatizing as being a prostitute- Travis had told her that Sport called her names and was a bad guy, but in the end it was Travis that murdered three men in cold blood right in front of her.

i dont think it was saying that he WAS just as bad as them, more that it was making a point that if you want to 'wash the scum off the streets' you kind of have to get your hands dirty.
His last acts were anything but cold-hearted though. He was trying to do the right thing, and sacrificed his soul for it. Far more than any politician would be willing to do in that case, someone who would keep their hands clean at all costs.
The movie doesn't want you to see anything in black or white though, intentionally. Scorsese mentioned making him racist was part of this.
>>54952766
Cold-hearted wasn't the right way to say it, as that sort of implies that he didn't have good intentions. I think more than anything it shows how defending your own idea of what's right can result in violence and dirt- the very things it seemed Travis was adamantly against.
>>54952840
Bingo.
He wasn't exactly a saint from the start though, so he was doomed to always bring about violence and dirt. His downfall was from within as much as from without. He was as much a product of that environment as he was its self-appointed saviour.
Pic related. Just watched Starry Nights. Thought it was awesome.
Any recommendations of others along that and these lines?

That movie was atrocious, my man.
The only time I ever see it mentioned here is when I post it, but this leaves me feeling punched in the stomach every time I finish it. It got a Criterion release a long time ago, but it is very unknown. I heard about it from a hardcore horror collector like fifteen years ago, and I still consider it one of my favorite horror films. Avoid the shit remake though.
Ok, last decade ones.

Pretty suprised that Tom would be that much of a butthurt asshole considering the things he's done.

It's awkward that you linked a Break.com video. What, is it 2006 in here?
he used to love desks
what happened?
>>54724139
There was nothing on Youtube, because Tom green is a oversensitive faggot who puts flags on videos.
You can only find the /b/ raids of his call in show on break or other shitty hosting sites.

What's the best late night show?
I think jimmy fallon and seth meyers are the best
>>54703756
Jimmy has better games and is all around more fun. But his monigloues suck. Seth has God tier monologues. His interviews are great too but his fillers are garbage and his band is terrible.

I like Seth Meyers because he doesn't put his tongue inside his guests' ass like Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy always fake laughs and fakes enthusiasm. Seth seems more genuine.

I've never seen so many elderly people and families with little kids walk out of a theater.
hey /tv/. my family have been divided after my idiot cousin managed to blow 50 thousand of my grandparents savings to finance his 'motion picture'. the idiot is 31 and does stupid shit often. He tried to borrow money from me to help with his rap career. Anyway there is no way we can get the money back and there is nothing we can do about it. Is there anyway we can salvage the money? Anyway here is a link to the film. I would bet my life savings no single person here can make it through this waffle.
