[Motor City Sonics]

Scorsese did a much faster dark comedy about a no-name comic (Rbbert DeNiro) who tries to get on the Johnny Carson-type show (The Jerry Jankford (Jerry Lewis show). and they keep turning him down - so he hires his friend (Sanra Bernhardt) to kidnap Jerry (she wraps him in masking tape- massive amoutns of massive tape). The comic, Rubert Pupkin, uses the shwow as ransom. Give me 15 minutes, you'll get jerry back alive and well. Jery escapse Sandra and beats her up and is trying to walk the few blocks to his manattan studio but on the way he passes some TVs in a store window and sees this Rubert Pupkin is actually on the air - telling tepid jokes. The FBI arrest him and he gets 18 months, but there are two books written about him, he gets his parole and gets his own talk show. Stalker comedy, gotta love.
