I wonder if there's some generational thing, where people around Tom's age think that Jodie Foster is just some actress, and don't realize that she's Jodie Foster.
A female friend of mine claims to have had exchanges of an intimate nature with Jodie. And there's even some corroboration from a third party about the initial flirtation.
A male friend of mine stood next to her on the red carpet once, and says that from where he was standing he could see her nipple.
Before Sunrise and Before Sunset trace an arc that leads inexorably to Julie Delpy: That's It, Just Julie Delpy, which will render any further movies unnecessary.
This leads us inexorably to the theory that all lesbians have only one nipple, and, just as heterosexual men and women cleave to each other and form the beast with two backs in an effort to recover their originary unity, so too lesbian women attempt to perfect themselves nippleweise the way ionically bonded atoms do electronically.

I'm prepared to admit that she may have some indescribable sort of allure. For instance, it took me several months to begin wondering why the hell I had bought Contact on DVD. But when I finally did, I was pissed.
ogged, hate to make you even greener with envy, but greta scaatchi lives only a half-dozen or so miles from me. i'll inevitably run into her at tesco's or sainsbury's, but she'll probably be with the second cousin she's shacking up with.
What will the name of the (hypothetical) linklater/delpy/hawke movie be when the characters are all 42? I'm thinking it has to begin with "After" or "During," but maybe I'm missing another "Before" option.
I thought it was hokey how her daughter ended up traveling to the past and growing up to be one of the flight attendants.
I saw Before Sunset last night. That was pretty darn good.

Jodie Foster is the Truth, and nothing but the Truth.

We are
Nothing
She is
Wind and water and sky

she's got thin, angry lips.
Before Sunset is a lovely movie.

SB!!! I can't believe you gave it away in the first line of the first comment for this post!
text, you think Jodie has thin angry lips? I guess they are thin, but I've always liked her smile.

She does have a nice smile. Now I'm thinking of text as a youngster.

I thought it was settled fact that Jodie likes the ladies (and has nipples).

I guess lesbians aren't the shameless liars that gay men are. But I have a habit of disbelieving my gay (male) friends about these things.

Just one nipple, apparently.
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 09-24-05 5:00 PM
At least one nipple.

I think he expected to see the nipples of flightier Hollywood types. But he wasn't expecting to see such serious nipple. Or something.

Go ahead and spoil my fun, SB. I don't mind. I don't like fun anyway.

Sometimes I wonder why I must be such a little bitch.

I am led inexorably to wonder why I must be such a little bitch.

all lesbians have only one nipple
And thus we see the inner truth concealed beneath the legend of the Amazons.

(a) I'm at work.
(b) If someone were to produce "Julie Delpy: Just Julie Delpy" I would spend all day at the movie theater.
(c) Jodie Foster does have a pretty smile, but when not smiling, she has an angry mouth. A humorless mouth. I surmise that she is humorless.
(d) I am a youngster.
(e) Julie Delpy. Julie Delpy.

Text's comment reminds me of a poem that was published in The New Criterion when I was in high school, called, I think, "Bones".
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 09-24-05 8:47 PM
That is because I wrote "Bones." No, I didn't.
you read The New Criterion in high school?
Posted by text | Link to this comment | 09-24-05 9:06 PM
Yeah, a bit.
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 09-24-05 9:59 PM
"Bones" by Robley Wilson, from the Nov 1998 issue of The New Criterion.

She's Monday's guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
"Jodie fills us in on her personal life and gets some ideas from Ellen on what to wear for her favorite holiday, Halloween."

What will the name of the (hypothetical) linklater/delpy/hawke movie be when the characters are all 42? I'm thinking it has to begin with "After" or "During," but maybe I'm missing another "Before" option.

Before Twilight. But only if the movie did a much longer time-jump.

Before High Noon.

By that time Ethan Hawke will have completed turning into Leonard Nimoy.

To me Jodie Foster is okay, but only okay - meaning that when I start to feel the attraction I knows it's past time for sex.
