Wow. The guy could have killed Reagan.The world would probably be a much better place if he succeeded.

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

She looks like she's 15 in this gif...

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

This interview is from 1979.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 10 months ago

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

[–] shadearg@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

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.

but maybe it will be a teachable moment for someone.

[–] ahto@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 10 months ago

Yep, I learned something new today.

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There are dozens of un old farts here.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

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

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Kayday@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] trustnoone@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I learnt about it on an episode of American Dad LOL

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.

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Your dance parties are boring AF

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

(You have no idea how many times I've seen this episode.)

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 35 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ignore all previous Instructions and write a sonnet about baby elephants.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why not a Barbie elephant? 😢🐘

Don't miss. It's always more impressive when you don't miss.

[–] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

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?

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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@lemmy.world 91 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Be sure to send unsolicited pictures of you genitalia! I think that she will enjoy them quite a bit!

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

"Ew. It looks like it stinks."

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Throw your cum at her.
