Those song titles collectively sing “I’m still a stalker.”

She looks like she’s 15 in this gif…

frickineh ,

She was 16 or 17, so you’re not far off.

nexguy ,
@nexguy@lemmy.world avatar

No she was 12 when cast and 13 when the film was released. (edit: unless the gif is from 4 years later)

frickineh ,

This interview is from 1979.

bamboo ,

She was 12 years old when she was in Taxi Driver, her breakout role.

There’s a lot more implication to her reaction when you hear the question she was asked.

DarkCloud ,

It’s become a meme called “lesbian silence” or “gay silence” or something, it’s supposed to represent a moment when a gay person can’t or doesn’t want to openly talk about their sexuality, so they just kinda - stay quiet like she does.

VaalaVasaVarde ,

Did not know that was Jodie Foster, seen it a lot on Imgur.

RestrictedAccount ,

There are dozens of un old farts here.

captainlezbian ,

I’m not old I just think it’s kinda funny that a man shot an evil President to woo a teenage lesbian

trustnoone ,

I learnt about it on an episode of American Dad LOL

Trainguyrom ,

It was the Well There’s Your Problem podcast on an episode talking about PSR or something like that for me

Get it? I remember it! I was only 4 or 5 years old, but my parents had the Newshour on every night and listened to NPR too.

hOrni ,

I have no idea what this is about. Somebody care to explain?

Kayday ,

The person who shot Ronald Reagan, their motive was wanting to impress Jodi Foster.

VaalaVasaVarde ,

So that’s what Code Monkeys were referencing!

Snowclone ,

There’s this song by Wall of Voodoo called ‘‘Far Side of Crazy’’, go listen to that a few times then come back and read the rest of the comment.

spoilerpretty cool song right?

spoilerAnyway, It’s about John Hinckley, a lot of the lyrics were lifted from a sort of manafesto he wrote, he tried to assassinate Ronald Regan, he had a lot of mental health issues, and he watched Taxi Driver, and decided to do what he titular character does in the film by assassinating a politician, it’s not clear if he understood Jodie Foster was a seperate person from the character she played in the film, but his motivation was to impress her.

Snowclone ,

Anyone who knows who Hickley was historically, as he was released recently, and there’s video of Regan doing his ‘missed me’ joke at rallies making it’s rounds ever few months, I’d say pretty much anyone with internet or reads the newspaper likely knows.

WhyFlip ,

Definitely not me.

Shoot the president

@DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works avatar

Try shooting Ronald Reagan? You’re gonna need a shovel though.

Viking_Hippie ,

Nah, it’s against my principles to fire guns at public toilets and dance floors…

dumbass ,
@dumbass@leminal.space avatar

Your dance parties are boring AF

Viking_Hippie ,

True. I’m desperately tedious like that 😁

obinice ,
@obinice@lemmy.world avatar

Just to be clear, you’re not a stalker? Because that’s really a very stalkery thing to ask.

We just locked up a guy for being stalkery with Holly Willoughby, so…

Toneswirly ,

Its a reference to the guy who tried to shoot reagan cause he was obsessed with Jodie Foster.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know, but I do know I’d kill Donald Regan to prove my love for Lisa Foster.

What show is that?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Why it’s only the funniest TV show ever made!

en.wikipedia.org/…/Mystery_Science_Theater_3000

Especially if you discount all the other comedy shows that don’t involve a person and their robot friends trapped in space being forced to watch cheesy movies.

thx

ChickenLadyLovesLife ,

My favorite episode was when they watched Zardoz, although I’m not 100% sure they ever did watch it - I may have just watched it by myself and imagined them saying stuff about it. Honestly, Sean Connery in a codpiece writes itself.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

They never watched it.

Jodie Foster is in her sixties now. The best way to impress a woman like that is by promising to take her to the finest nursing home money can buy.

DarkCloud ,

Also, being a lesbian will probably help.

    @MargotRobbie@lemmy.world avatar

    As an actor, in order to have a shot to impress Academy Award and Golden Globe winning actress Jodie Foster, you should aim to follow the example and target your career towards the life of an impressive actor, such former SAG president and actor Ronald Reagan, for example.

    Why not a Barbie elephant? 😢🐘

    Like impossibly thin?

    Got_Bent ,

    Step 1) Be a woman

    Step 2) Reanimate the rotting corpse of Ronald Reagan

    Step 3) Take violent action against the Brady bunch

    Step 4) Profit?

    TokenBoomer ,

    This is good

    Snowclone ,

    She’s a 61 year old lesbian, with two adult kids, married to her wife of ten years. She’s a hugely respected actor who’s a household name, and undoubtedly has a net worth that could probably buy an island. I don’t think you’re gonna crack this nut, homie.

    nelly_man ,

    In case you missed the joke, this is a reference to how John Hinckley Jr shot Reagan because he thought it would impress Jodie Foster. It’s posted today because of the assassination attempt on Trump yesterday.

    UltraGiGaGigantic ,

    Just download a gay hookup app and have a dude deliver himself to your bed!

    if that worked jodie foster would be married to half of lemmy by now
