Though it’s been a VERY long time, “Little Man Tate” impressed the heck out of me, and was an excellent movie.
JF both acted and directed the movie, and she was excellent at both jobs.
I had such a huge crush on her growing up (we’re the same age,) and still think that she’s a lovely woman. For the most part, she hasn’t said much politically over her career. There was the rambling “coming out” speech at the awards show that wasn’t a surprise to anyone. She was always very private about her personal life, and after that, she didn’t say much more.
For the most part, I happen to agree with her about most of today’s movies, and before seeing 3 movies in the last few months at the theaters (1 was free,) the last movie I saw in the theaters was “300,” about 11 years ago.
I do wish “artists” of all types would quit harping on politics. Jodi Foster has been circumspect, both in her politics and her personal life, for the most part. And she’s extremely talented, and I’ve enjoyed most of the movies I’ve seen her in.

I miss drive-in theaters :p
He can still smell you Jodi. Now more than ever.
Wasn’t she in one called “Little Darlings”, or something like that? The other actress was Kirie McNichols.. I remember rooting for McNichols and hating the other one (which I believe was Jodi ‘carpetmunch’ Foster)..
**Kristie, oops..
I was wrong... it was Tatum O’Neal and Kristy McNichol..
:p
I had a crush on both of them though :D

She forgets - cinema is entertainment and she wants it to be brainwashing...
Its just like fracking to her...
She doesn’t want anyone to do it
She’s a snob about it
She wants to virtue signal about it
She doesn’t give a rats ass about the people who work doing these things (making crappy popular movies and producing energy)
I remember that one. Saw it on tv when it came to HBO, I think. I remember thinking, meh, even back then.
