Dorky title, I know, but if you watch the movie in question you’ll understand.

What movie, you ask? Why, Martin Scorsese‘s The Big Shave, one of the features currently running on the TriggerStreet showcase on Yahoo! The six minute short was made in 1967, six years before Taxi Driver. The page says the film “shows how bloody wrong things can go when a man cuts himself shaving,” and I suppose it does, but I’m wondering what the point is.

I’ve mentioned TriggerStreet before. It’s nice to see that Spacey is really serious about this (check out the video of him and Billy Crystal trying to drum up interest in the populace) and I hope it succeeds. I also hope at least some of the submitted projects have something Scorsese‘s film doesn’t: a story.
