You talking to me? You talking to me?
Yeah, I'm talking to you. And I'm telling you that actor Robert De Niro has shown us what a liberal loon he is by comparing his Travis Bickle character in the movie Taxi Driver to Donald Trump. The Associated Press reported on De Niro's latest lunacy while he attended the Sarajevo Film Festival:

De Niro’s brain is about the size of that huge mole on his face that we get to see as they always photograph him from that side. Well . . . maybe his brain isn’t that large.
Wasn’t the Taxi character a hero?
De Niro’s movies have been horrible these past few years. Pfft to you Bob!
The Shaming Of Robert De Niro
After a slew of box office bombs and critical flops, Robert De Niro’s been told to retire, that he’s ruining his legacy, that he’s too blinded by his own genius to understand just how limp his films truly have become. But what if there’s a different explanation for why his movies end up so badly?
“Wasn’t the Taxi character a hero?”
I wouldn’t think so, that John Hinckley fellow was trying to imitate him; however, I don’t know the film well.
I saw “The Intern” and that also stunk.
Unless you talk and act like a liberal loon, you just don’t get the good movie parts. Welcome to Hollywood.

Dysfunctional all his life. Small wonder he can play dysfunctional roles. It’s in his blood
And for a guy who “Talks about Taxi Driver” there’s this:
federal investigators revealed that he’d been inspired by De Niro’s portrayal in Taxi Driver of the crazed loner Travis Bickle, who stalks a presidential candidate. Eventually the movie was screened as evidence for a jury as it sat in judgment on Hinckley. De Niro was horrified by the controversial worldwide publicity Taxi Driver received in the media (“Can a film drive someone to murder?”). For the first time in his career, De Niro was stopped on the street by fans demanding that he recite Bickle’s infamous line: “Ya talkin’ to me?”
“Don’t they realize I’m not that guy?” De Niro kept asking.
“Do not ever bring up the subject of Taxi Driver with Robert,” director Ulu Grosbard warned me. “He gets extremely upset.”
Every four years he says the same thing. Two words for you Bob.
?
I thought it was charming. : )
Thank you for sharing Bobby. Eat your Jello, it’s time for your nap.
Accidental hero.
He was a psycho self-styled political assassin who strayed into killing the bad guys.
“You talking to me?” Looks around. “Well, I’m the only one here.”
De Niro is comparable to a kumquat.
Whenever you hear one of these Hollywood airheads criticizing the US or the Reps abroad, always remember that more than half of Hollywood’s film revenue comes from overseas. They are the absolute globalists. They feel no real allegiance to the US.
Well, if Trump can be accused of inciting people to kill a presidential candidate by merely responding to someone in the crowd who said “Second Amendment,” can’t De Niro be accused of the same by bringing up this movie?
I wish he would just shut up and go back to making good movies, because I like him as an actor. Goodfellas, Godfather II, and I also liked the Meet the Parents. And Analyze This. Though Ben Stiller and Billy Crystal were also very funny; they all played against each other very well.
Michael Douglas is nonplussed at the popularity of his Gordon Gekko character, “Greed is good,” in Wall Street, too. Not everyone, it seems, is anti-capitalist.
A similar thing happened with All in the Family. Archie was not supposed to be popular, but a caricature of leftist fantasies about conservatives. Norman Lear was chagrined.
