The shooting at the end looks like complete shit and was recorded on a camcorder, it seems.

That's because the original unedited portion was lost.

I'm telling Taxi Driver to go back to the way that HE USED TO BE.

That monologue so dark it’s great. You could NEVER get away with anything close to that today. I’m worried they will eventually edit it / cut it for streaming services. I had the movie “White Sands” on the other day while working and there was a part where Dafoe asks a hotel manager if he decorated the hotel himself and he replied “no, I got some fairy to do it” and that wouldn’t fly today.

Even soft stuff like White Men Can't Jump, which I watched for the first time in about 20 years a couple of nights ago. Careless Love by Ray Charles comes on the car stereo and a frustrated Woody Harrelson says to a grinning Rosie Perez "can someone explain to me why this Negro is singing cowboy music?" And he's the sympathetic lead lol. Imagine that being in a movie today, without him being portrayed as either an evil bastard or as a misguided bigot in urgent need of "re-education"? In 1992 it was just a joke to show that Woody was pissed off with Wesley, but waited till he'd gone before dropping a half-hearted n bomb. A different world.

Should have been a Criterion release. They used to have the rights and put out other Scorsese films in 4k. Criterion commentary track had the screenwriter talking about driving around at night with Keitel at night, trying to find out how a white pimp would dress. Couldn't find one white pimp because all pimps are black.
