HOLY FUCK: Jodie Foster Tells It - Privacy, Society, the World - A New Era | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 25326483 United States 01/14/2013 07:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nope!! I thought her "the end of an era" comment might mean that she's retiring. Turns out she isn't. [link to www.hollywoodreporter.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25326483 The point she meant to make in her speech, she explained, was that “my work is evolving.” Foster later added that her award was like a graduation of sorts, comparing it to a high school or university commencement. It's an honor that allows one to re-examine “the patterns of your career and how they express you psychologically,” she said. |
Anonymous Coward 01/14/2013 07:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | She was saying SO MANY things in this speech... From how hollywood deals with children, to the state of society, the degradation of privacy in the world, and not only that, but the future... This was the most important point... "This feels like the end of one era, and the beginning of something else - scary and exciting. And now what? Well, I may never be up on the stage again, on any stage for that matter - change, you gotta love it. I will continue to tell stories. To move people, by being moved... the greatest job in the world. It's just that from now on, I may be holding a different talking stick, and maybe it won't be as sparkly, maybe it won't open on 3000 screens, maybe it will be so quiet and delicate that only dogs can hear it whistle. But it will be my writing on the wall. Jodie Foster was here, I still am, and I want to be seen, to be understood deeply, and to be not so very lonely." |

duncog2012 User ID: 24294934 United States 01/14/2013 07:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OMG MO! Today while driving this radio host was talking about Kevin Costners speech and said it sounded like he was checking out, done his career too. As soon as I got home I looked it up to have a listen and it sort of does sound like that. Then I find your thread here? Quoting: KateSask Here's Costners speech. (Speech start after 120min) SOMETHING IS UP YOU CAN SEE IT ON THEIR FACES! There is more going on and I think they are well informed and aware of the condition of the planet and the things that are about to occur. It was almost like they were all in mourning. Like they know something BIG AND BAD is on the way. It was almost like a farewell speech? Last Edited by duncog2012 on 01/14/2013 07:25 PM duncog2012 |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31821675 United Kingdom 01/14/2013 07:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.youtube.com] Quoting: Mister Obvious Have you guys SEEN THIS? I am not a sheeple whatsoever... I don't watch TV, I rarely watch movies... I definitely haven't tuned in to any award show on the planet since I was a kid. So definitely don't think I eat up media like a fly on shit... I do not. But this speech Foster gave at the Globes the other night? DOUBLESPEAK. This is a big deal... sure, it's way down the ladder, and practically just gossip among the peasants (hollywood actors aren't paid shit compared to the big boys, Madonna's net worth is a meager 650mil)... BUT... it shows something is up, something serious... and look at the faces of others in attendance... Mel Gibson for example... 4:38, read his face (yes I understand they're actors) and tell me he doesn't think what she is doing/saying with this speech = fucking serious. The last 2 minutes are most important. You can see it on a few other faces as well, they knew what was really going on and what she was really saying... and who she was really talking to. Eyes and ears, ladies and gentlemen. [link to www.youtube.com] whew, i am in tears, for the whole of her speech, but especially about what she said and wished for her mother, just precious, very precious! that my folks is a lady, who has essence and true understanding of this ting we call life: thrice i love you! |

Anonymous Coward 01/14/2013 07:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Kind of reminded me of the lesbian actress in V for Vendetta and the letter she wrote in prison. I want you to know I love you...etc. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32186275 Creepy... So many undertones... See, another hollywood reference though... Perhaps the two aren't far off. Both Foster and Costner had the same kind of tones going on (the future in question, though Foster seemed more upbeat, perhaps she was trying to). Foster though... she was way way more open and fearless with it, and the reason is because she's been involved in it literally all her life, she made that clear. |

Most everyone knew you were gay from way back in the '70's! Didn't change a thing for most of your fans. We knew, we didn't care. You were still a damn fine actor! Agree...listening to most of that was painful. She sounds nuts. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 18261962 Australia 01/14/2013 07:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The 'privacy' she's alluding to is the have your cake and eat it bullshit a lot of slebs are trying to push, they want mega fame, they want fans, but they want a private life. It don't work that way, you go into fame, you give up privacy. She was put into it by her mother, so I guess she never consented, but ultimately, she's coulda walked away as an adult. She is just a precious luvvie, like they all are and her whole speech is just precious luvvie 'me' crap delivered in that 'you can trust me, I'm Jodie Foster' voice. The most telling part of the interminable display of self is when she tells the audience she's 'losing it'. You can see they agree by the completeley aghast looks on their faces. Appalling creature. This is why they used to have these hooks on a long stick in vaudeville, to yank these hams off stage. |
