The lack of enthusiasm may not be lack of it. In my case, I followed you but I didn't have anything to offer... But I was here all the time...

The point is; I opened a facebook page and I am trying to do something... I am using the files I know, buying everything and trying to compensate the time wasted in "doing nothing". I count on you... I already hav followers and contributors. I'm just at the beginning. Wish things could be different. My page is JODIE FOSTER VINTAGE and the idea is to be everything, show everything. Why FACEBOOK? Because I have to start where I am good at...

was wondering what this whole stuff is about:
1) just joking
2) angry
3) teasing people so much with this that they are leaving and forum can be closed
4) teasing people to contribute differently
5)
6)
This forum where Mario contributed so many beautiful things is not possible to search through anymore. And all the other people who contributed, as much as superficial some might find it , can't reach the stuff they posted.
There is no explanation ... I don't think the people who where really attached to this forum deserve that. Even if it 's a joke

I reflected over a certain faction, and this is how it visualized. So your 4) comes close I guess. I'll think about a version for the intellectual cineaste next.

It's the naked truth that hurts them. But I don't care. I can't even remember when I stopped caring about an audience whose vast majority is constantly overchallenged, not only intellectually. And joins forums and has nothing to say, nothing to share, nothing to contribute. You know what? In reality it always has been like it is now.

Here's an interesting letter I heard of but didn't believe it actually exists.  X,
I thank you for the Japanese book about Jodie. It has some very good pictures of her that I've never seen before. So you want to know what I do all day! I play pool,listen to the radio, watch T.V., answer mail, play my guitar, read a book, eat my meals, take a shower, see my therapist, write poetry and think about Jodie. I'll be here for awhile. The next time I can have a hearing for release is February. John H.Obviously someone sent him this one... jodiefostermuseum.blogspot.com/2011/05/japan-photo-book-1978-80-130.html and I can only assume it comes from someone with a sadistic vein, at least with quite a sense of humor.. Even more amazing the fact it passed security checks and nobody at the hospital had a problem with him getting JF stuff from 'fans'. I suspect the only problem they later had with his mail order of the infamous High Society issue was the (hinted) nudity. As a fan I think it would be interesting to see him interviewed about his obsession and the early years behind bars. Usually I'm against giving offenders much degree of attention, he's a sick person and it's the victims one should care about. But from a historical perspective I also think it would be worth to preserve his views, from today, before he suffers from dementia or dies or whatever.
some very good pictures of her that I've never seen beforeI'd like to have a peek at his collection lol |

John Hinckley Jr., who shot Ronald Reagan in 1981, is about to be partially released from confinement after testimony from government psychiatrists. Hinckley's family and the family of President George W. Bush have long, complicated ties that have been little reported. Hinckley's brother was scheduled to have dinner at the home of the current President Bush's brother the day after the assassination attempt.
Nov. 26, 2003 - John Hinckley Jr., who has been hospitalized since shooting President Ronald Reagan in 1981, might receive permission any day from a federal judge to make unsupervised visits to his parents' home. Hinckley's family and the family of President George W. Bush have long social, political, and economic ties that have been little reported. Hinckley's brother was scheduled to have dinner at the home of the current President Bush's brother the day after the assassination attempt.
U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman recently said he would let John W. Hinckley, Jr., make the visits with certain restrictions, but he first wanted to hear testimony officials at St. Elizabeths Hospital, where Hinckley is being treated. Today that condition was met when Paul Montalbano of St. Elizabeths testified that Hinckley is ready for visits under conditions recommended by government experts.
Today also, John Hinckley, Jr.'s, bid for unsupervised visits with his parents received a further boost as two psychiatrists testifying for the government said the request from the man who shot President Reagan should be approved but only under more restrictions than previously proposed.
The families of Ronald Reagan and James Brady, his press secretary, who received a head wound (and whose wife successfully promoted the gun-control Brady Bill), have opposed the release. Just after the shooting, Hinckley's family made an assurance similar to those being made now, saying through an attorney, "recent evaluations alerted no one to the seriousness of his condition."
Hinckley has been confined to the St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, DC, since he shot Reagan three others. The visists would be to his parents' home in Williamsburg, Virginia. He was tried for the incident but acquitted by reason of insanity after his lawyer, the legendary Edward Bennett Williams, argued that Hinckley shot the president to impress actress Jody Foster.
Vice president George H.W. Bush, father of the current president, George Bush, Jr., assumed the duties of the presidency briefly after the shooting and nearly became president as Reagan almost died from the shooting. A bullet missed his aorta by less than an inch.
The Bush and Hinckley families go back to the oil-wildcatting days of the 1960s in Texas. (Ironically, they go back even farther in a genealogical sense, since the have a common ancestor in Samuel Hinckley, who lived in the late 1600s.)
The relationship was much closer between George Bush, Sr., and John Hinckley, Sr., whose families were neighbors for years in Houston. John Hinckley, Sr., contributed to the political campaigns of Bush, Sr., all the way back to Bush's running for Congress, and he supported Bush against Reagan for the 1980 Republican presidential nomination. Bush, Sr., and Hinckley, Sr., were both in the oil business. When the Hinckley oil company, Vanderbilt Oil, started to fail in the 1960s, Bush, Sr.'s, Zapata Oil financially bailed out Hinckley's sompany. Hinckley had been running an operation with six dead wells, but he began making several milliion dollars a year after the Bush bailout.
Scott Hinckley, John's brother, was scheduled to have dinner at the Denver home of Neil Bush, Bush, Sr.'s, son (and of course the current president's brother) the day after the shooting. At the time, Neil Bush was a Denver-based purchaser of mineral rights for Amoco, and Scott Hinckley was the vice president of his father's Denver-based oil business.
On the day of the shooting, NBC news anchor John Chancellor, eyebrows raised, informed the viewers of the nightly news that the man who tried to kill the president was acquainted with the son of the man who would have become president had the attack succeeded. As a matter of fact, Chancellor reported in a bewildered tone, Scott Hinckley and Neil Bush had been scheduled to have dinner together at the home of the (then) vice-president's son (Neil) the very next night.
The story of the Bush-Hinckley connection was reported on the AP and UPI newswires and in some newspapers, including the Houston Post, which apparently originated the story. It was also reported in Newsweek magazine. Then the story about one of the strangest coincidences in presidential assassination history simply disappeared. (The AP story is quoted in its entirety at the end of this article, not for commercial use but solely to be used for the educational purposes of research and open discussion.)
In reference to whether the current president, George W. Bush, knew the would-be assassin, John Hinckley, Bush said at the time, "It's certainly conceivable that I met him or might have been introduced to him. I don't recognize his face from the brief, kind of distorted thing they had on TV and the name doesn't ring any bells. I know he wasn't on out staff. I could check our volunteer rolls." There is no record that he ever did this or ever commented after further reflection and seeing better photographs.
Neil Bush used a similar line in denying he knew John Hinckley. "I have no idea," he said. "I don't recognize any pictures of him. I just wish I could see a better picture of him." Besides all of the family ties, Neil Bush lived in Lubbock, Texas, throughout much of 1978, where Reagan shooter Hinckley lived from 1974-1980. During this period, in 1978, Neil Bush served as campaign manager for the current president's unsuccessful run for Congress.
Neil's wife, Sharon Bush, who is writing an expose of the family, said, at the time, that Scott Hinckley was coming as a date of a girl friend of hers. "I don't even know the brother. From what I've heard, they are a very nice family and have given a lot of money to the Bush campaign. I understand he was just the renegade brother in the family."
The dinner date was canceled. (If it hadn't been, it would have been the ultimate case of "Guess who's coming to Dinner?")
Ironically, Scott Hinckley was called on the carpet by the U.S. Department of Enegy on the day Reagan was shot. The DOE told Hinckley it might place a $2 million penalty on his company.

Nice pen buddies
In 1988, the Secret Service received a letter from a mail-order house saying it had received a letter from John requesting a nude drawing of Jodie Foster. Apparently, his fixation on the actress had not abated after all.

"His judgement is not perfect," Dr. Miller said, "He writes letters to some of his pen pals." One of those pen pals was serial murderer Ted Bundy. Another was Lynnette "Squeaky" Fromme who had been convicted of trying to assassinate President Gerald Ford. He had also tried to get hold of Charles Manson's address.

In April 2000, he was allowed unsupervised furloughs, but the privilege was revoked that May when guards discovered a smuggled book about Jodie Foster in his room—Hinckley is prohibited from having any material about the actress.

That's a public site, you can purchase the letter for 17 Benjamins. The recipient's adress in on the (original) envelope. So it might be possible to track them down. Yeah, a little talk would be great. |

This is the nude drawing JH tried to obtain but was seized by authorites. ...a young Jodie Foster with the famous last letter sent to her by Mr. Hinckley right before his attempt to assasinate president Ronald Reagan.

Jodie's handwriting [...] is highlighted by her rounded upper loops in J and F (her own fantasies and dreams) while her lower zone thrusts in a dagger like stroke (ability to cut off relationships at her discretion). Her writing shows both a soft and hard edge to her persona. (from celebrityhandwritings)  Hm, why is it I only see soft?
