Everest” without breaking a sweat. Or a femur. High-Altitude Lifts That Go Up and Never Come Down Ski lifts usually exist to ferry skiers up a mountain so they can glide back down. Not here. Mt.

Shirley and The Taxi Driver One Man One Mirror and Entirely Too Much Free Time

March 1, 2025

Original Premise: Taxi Driver (1976) – “You Talkin’ to Me?” Robert De Niro’s Travis Bickle stares into a mirror, pulling his gun and practicing tough-guy lines, an unsettling descent into alienation and violence. Opening Scene A dimly lit convenience store at 2 a.m. The kind of place where the expiration dates are more of a suggestion. A fluorescent light flickers above, buzzing like an insect that refuses to die. The cashier, a man who looks like he gave up on life midway through his shift, leans lazily against the counter, flipping through a tabloid with a cover story about a celebrity faking his own death for better Wi-Fi coverage. Travis…

Original Premise: Raging Bull (1980) – Jake LaMotta’s “I Coulda Been a Contender” Robert De Niro’s Jake LaMotta, bloated and broken, reciting I Coulda’ Been a Contender! to himself in the mirror, is a hauntingly tragic look at a fallen fighter. Opening Scene Jake LaMotta’s Dressing Room – The “I Coulda’ Been a Contender!” Monologue Description A dingy dressing room, dimly lit by a single, flickering bulb that looks like it gave up long before Jake did. A cracked mirror sits above the sink, reflecting a bloated, bathrobe-clad Jake LaMotta who looks like he lost a fight with an all-you-can-eat buffet. The robe reads “World Champion – 20 Pounds Ago.”…

March 1, 2025

Original Premise: Forrest Gump (1994) – “Run, Forrest, Run!” As young Forrest, previously unable to walk without braces, breaks into a full sprint, shattering his leg supports, it becomes a triumphant and emotional turning point. Opening Scene A dusty Alabama road stretches into the distance. Forrest, no more than a boy, stands awkwardly on the sidewalk, his legs encased in massive braces that look like a hybrid between scaffolding and a small radio tower. A gang of bullies on bicycles, each wearing matching jackets that read “Future Convicts of America”, pedals toward him. Bully #1: Well, look who it is. If it ain’t the Tin Man’s understudy. Bully #2: Hey,…

March 1, 2025

Original Premise: Gladiator (2000) – “Are You Not Entertained?” Fresh from brutally dispatching his opponents in the Colosseum, Maximus taunts the stunned Roman audience, demanding acknowledgment of his violent spectacle. Opening Scene The Colosseum, a massive stone arena, echoes with cheers, gasps, and one guy selling hardboiled grapes. The sun glares down on the sand-covered battlefield where Maximus, clad in battered armor, wearing a pair of Gucci Square Sunglasses, stands over several very dead guys. Blood drips from his sword, but his hair remains perfectly coiffed. The crowd is silent, staring at him with mild confusion. Maximus: Are you not entertained?! Silence. Maximus: C’mon now. Are you not entertained? A…
