...this close to the simmering psycho Robert De Niro played in Taxi Driver? The gun love, the quiet surliness, the loner status, the head whisperings, the mistaken fashioning of other people's motives into paranoid scenarios - all echo the violent cabbie in Martin Scorsese's movie, whose script was inspired by the diary of Arthur Bremer, the would-be assassin of Governor George Wallace...

Why is he such a loser at an amusement park? And I was sort of like...
