Aargh. Later on the same day after I post new Movie-A-Minute condensations, including one I was really excited about, the one for "Taxi Driver," I think up an immeasurably superior way to condense it. It was better enough that I replaced the old version with the new (as of moments ago), so if you had previously read it, read it again.

For those of you who hadn't and are curious as to what it originally said, the old version is listed below -- but read the new one first, or it won't be as effective when you read it.

It was originally longer and did not conform to such a widely recognized poetic form:

Screwed up in the head,
With brains of lead,
A taxi driver was crazy.
He bought some guns
And shot the ones
Whose goodness was a little bit hazy.

The last three lines were pretty much the same as they are now. But then I realized how easily these six could be condensed down to two and thereby become a limerick, a long-standing comic poetic form. It seems obvious in hindsight, for these six lines are more cumbersome and take too long to get the point across, so I'm kicking myself for not having thought of it in time. Sigh. Oh well.
