This one is from "Planet of the Apes" and "Taxi Driver" with the Consummate Loner sbstituted for Travis Bickle and Taylor. I feel like I need to include more dialogue.
Anyway...
Planet of the Consummate Loner
Int-
Cabin of a Spaceship-
Close up on Astronaut-
The Consummate Loner
has the smell of sex about him.
A solitary spermatosoan gliding
through the womb of the Universe.
No more than a mote
in the eye of eternity.
He takes a drag off his unfiltered cigarette,
turns to look through one of the portholes
into the astral night.
Ext-
Manhattan side street-
Consummate Loner’s point of view-
Twelve “Horsemen” suddenly emerge
from a large midtown porno theater.
The Consummate Loner is starring in silent fascination.
The CRACKING SOUND of rapid fire pistol shots
fills the musty air. A Gorilla hunter stands over a dead man,
Another Gorilla says, “Smile.”
Young TEENYBOPPERS are dancing.

I like the universe as womb metaphor, I'm totally there. I don't really get the Ext- part though, probably because I never saw Taxi Driver?
i really liked both of these. they are more entertaining to hear though. you did a good job mixing the 2. most mixtures are disjointed and unintelligible. these are neither. are you going to try and use the entire scripts? that would be challenging, but very interesting.
awesome.
I like it without the dialog because it makes it more dream-like, floating from one image to the next and being able to accept the changes more than if we're wondering who is talking. However I think if you can really show a character we can follow with the dialog then it could potentially add something to the piece. I guess try it :)
