An intriguing idea. Watching TLG from a CG Jung point of view. Someone in Japan did. (with a little help from works by the late Dr Hayao Kawai)

 not so often seen, but spreading via tumblr. I think it's from the photo book. |

I used to be like any other kid. I thought acting is just reading lines -OK do it. It was a hobby. But I felt so good after seeing myself in Taxi Driver that I no longer want to be President of the United States. I want to become a serious actress.
[Prostitution] should be legalized even though everybody thinks it's wrong.
[Richard Nixon] helped America realize that there is dishonesty and corruption in the White House. He opened our eyes and made us aware.
[I'm] intellectually an adult but emotionally a child - I'm embarrassed to say we still spit water at the boys in our class.
I said nooo way, what are my friends gonna say -'hey Jodie, you kissed Harvey Keitel. But then Mom said you have to trust people some time. And since Marty is so wonderful, well, we knew it was going to be done creatively and with taste.

The text above is just because I liked the photo put in a context. In the end it was the former Governor Ed Brown who intervened , argued and made it possible she could play the part...else her further career (and books on film history) had to be rewritten. I think that tells about how privileged (and well networking in Hollywood) they have been already back then. The other reason was that some parts of the script were dropped, not newly written but just dropped. So the 'real' Taxi Driver was never made as initially planned, and yes I think that's an issue. But at the time she signed for the role she or Brandy couldn't know that...and talking (accepted) exploitation, here is the difference between the Schrader and Koenig/Gessner script: The later sent a copy to the Fosters which had a clear remark in capitals, that the (minor) lead could be replaced by a body double for a certain scene. So looking back it's an irony that it's not the way more famous Taxi Driver who has her first fake nude scene but the small TLG.
As a parent I would 'nooo way' let my own daughter play a street hooker on the big screen, no matter how mature she is intellectually. Maybe in 70s but not today. Tell me, what would you do?

Jodie's Teacher
[ open in Teacher's classroom, last day of Junior High ]
Jodie: But, anyway, I can hardly believe that it's the last day of Junior High.. I mean, the last day of 9th grade! Like, all day long I kept thinking, this is the last time I'll be doing certain things; this is the last time I'll go to this locker; this is the last time I'll get up from this desk; this is the last time I'll look at that clock. Until, finally, at the end of the day, I said, "This is the last time I'll be thinking this is the last time I'll be doing something."
Teacher: Yeah?
Jodie: Yeah. I mean, thinking about things like that can really drive a person crazy, you know?
Teacher: Mmm-hmm..
Jodie: I could be thinking that this is the last time I'll be able to talk to Mr. Davis after class, like I've done every day for a year! But I'm not, I'm not gonna get driven crazy, you know?
Teacher: You're leaning on my attendance forms.
Jodie: Oh. Sorry. [ raises herself ] Anyway, I'm not thinking about that. I'm not thinking about this may very well be the last time I'll be able to come into this class and talk to you.
Teacher: What are you thinking about?
Jodie: Well, I'm thinking about, if I kind of squint my eyes and make everything kind of blurry, you look like Peter Frampton with short hair.
Teacher: Oh, really?
Jodie: Yeah! But I'm not thinking about how I'm never again, probably never again, gonna get to come into your room after school and talk to you about life.
Teacher: Well.. you'll have other people to talk about life with, won't you?
Jodie: Oh, the other people I know don't want to talk about life. They think that life is boring!
Teacher: Oh, really?
Jodie: Yeah, I think life is really interesting.. because, after all, the most important thing in life, is life.
Teacher: Right.
Jodie: And, now that I won't see you again, I'll just have to get out of the habit of talking about it.
Teacher: Well..
Jodie: I'll miss you!
Teacher: Jodie, uh..
Jodie: I miss you already!
Teacher: Jodie, I really have to get out of here, you know..?
Jodie: Good old life!
Teacher: Yeah..
Jodie: Yeah. Oh, Mr. Davis, before you go out, I also wanted to tell you I thought that was really funny when you stuck that ruler in your ear today.
Teacher: Oh? Thanks a lot.
Jodie: I know a lot of people didn't laugh. But I think that they don't understand you like I do. They don't appreciate your sense of humor, like I do.
Teacher: Oh?
Jodie: Yeah, like, a lot of people can go up, bang, stick a ruler in their ear, who cares, who know? Nobody laughs. You, who I personally know, cares deeply about life, well.. when you stick a ruler in your ear - it's funny!
Teacher: Jodie, you've been a terrific student. [ starts to walk out of his classroom ]
Jodie: Yeah! Listen, I also wanted to tell you that you're my favorite teacher I've ever had, by the way.
Teacher: Well.. that's very nice of you to say..
Jodie: Yeah! 'Cause you're the kind of teacher that acts kind of regular, you know? Doesn't act real teacherish.
Teacher: Uh-huh..
Jodie: Plus, like, I heard you say "Damn" in the supply closet the other day. But, don't worry, I won't tell anybody. When I heard you say "Damn", I knew that I could be frank with you about lots of stuff.
Teacher: Well, thanks very much..
Jodie: Yeah! Plus, I wrote this poem in the 5th period study hall, when I got sick of signing yearbooks, because I could never get my signature the same way twice. It's about you. You can tell by the title - it's called "Mr. Davis", it's about you being a Biology teacher and everything.
Teacher: [ reading ] Okay. "Likes frogs, likes snakes, doesn't like pains, doesn't like aches."
Jodie: Oh, well.. I'm really sorry, I mean.. I didn't know that you didn't like pains and aches. I mean, for all I know, you're crazy about pains and aches. I just figured, from knowing you as a person, that you didn't like them, is that true?
Teacher: Well, yeah.. that's true. [ reads more ] "Likes bugs, germs, too. And when they die, he goes 'Boo-hoo'."
Jodie: Oh! Listen, I really didn't mean that you said "Boo-hoo" or anything! What I really meant was that you were really sad, but sad didn't rhyme. Don't worry, don't worry, I won't tell anyone.
Teacher: Sad because germs died?
Jodie: Yes!
Teacher: [ reading more ] "Is married, has kids, but for certain people, makes them flip their lids." "Certain people" here is underlined.
Jodie: Yeah, well.. pretty straight line for no ruler, huh?
Teacher: And it's got a lot of big red stars around it.
Jodie: Oh, well, you know me. When I get a red felt tip pen in my hand, I just get carried away.
Teacher: A lot of arrows here, too.
Jodie: Yeah, but only five arrows. I wouldn't call five arrows a lot of arrows.
Teacher: Well, thank you, Jodie.
Jodie: I call ten arrows a lot of arrows! Five arrows is definitely not a lot of arrows!
Teacher: Bye, Jodie. [ kisses her forehead and walks away ]
Jodie: Goodbye, Regis. [ he stops ] Oh. I'm sorry, I just wanted to say that once before we left, you know? Can I write you over the summer?
Teacher: Sure.
Jodie: Yeah, yeah, right! I'll write you over the summer!
Teacher: Okay.
Jodie: Yeah, it'll give me a chance to practice my signature!
Teacher: Alright. [ finally exits classroom ]
Jodie: [ alone, thinking ] I think I can get it the same way twice..
[ fade out ]

(but I won't bother anyone) The beginning is the end is the beginning: The TLG opening scene resembles the ending of The 400 Blows, reverse and slowed down. A hidden tribute to Truffaut?  |

Well you know, i think she is exploited in more ways allready. I would have stopped a long way before even. In holland children can not have the workload she had by law. So i'm not justspeaking about the sexual implicit or even explicit scenes....

That's funny. A Google scanned 1992 newspaper all the time had this hint, I just didn't find it. I remember it took over a month to track down the address.  |

Google sometimes changes their search algorithms and stuff that once was there disappears, and sometimes it's vice versa like with this find. But in general these newspaper archives (like any other digitalization project) are a real treasure for every researcher. I also have accounts for paid services like Proquest which many of the US newspapers use. And I guess only a few non-scientists in my country know that you can obtain for free a so called national licence for a lots of other databases for private, non-commercial research.

I just find it exciting there is an amount of data accessible for you and me people -from your warm and cozy play (I hope) Maybe you asked more rhetoric. Like in Sure you're doing this for fun? I think the answer is yes. But I like the idea of acting as if Fosterist were a real profession hehe.

3:26 Some years ago I spoke to the astronomer who discovered 17744Jodiefoster in '98. The story behind the naming is much more trivial than people think, it's not the operating scientists were all die-hard Contact fans or such.

So you are pissed at me now? I guess you will resume the count down again until you leave? Or will you just disappear as of today?
You are a bad Fosterist. And actually not a Fosterist at all. A real Fosterist would never abandon the forum.

Huh? Look around, I arranged it perfectly. I'm not going to disappear, I fade-out. Nobody's here who notices (except one or two who Anons would consider crazy or so haha) or cares because the ignorant, vain (insert other issues), respectively the occasional active people are gone. What isn't different to other board btw. Remaining are the deaf-mute. So if I'm not a Fosterist, then you don't call that paltry leftover fans either I guess.

*sigh* I want to apologize for my earlier post. I was having a bad day, or rather just a bad life. You do what you want to do, Mario. It's not like anything I could say would change that anyway. I will miss you when you do finally go though.

Only if they find the pope poisoned and dead you know he truly had revolutionary plans.. OK, ten days to go. For the last time I'm going to delete you (ever coming back) zero posts people and then better switch off auto registrations. Else the board would be flood by spam soon. I'll leave a message on from page. Email to dedirablejodie@gmail.com is checked for another month or so. Don't miss future stuff and sh* I'll post to jodiefostermuseum and desirablejodie blogs occasionally |

Sorry if I shouldn't be creating a new thread for this but does anyone know where Jodie's intro for Susan Lyall receiving her award is on this board? I've tried sifting and searching through everything but haven't found it and wondered if it has disappeared?
