Random Musings on Jodie Foster

Something about the way Jodie Foster talks has always bugged me. It’s her diction, or her expressions, or both. She’s awesome, but ever since I saw the original Freaky Friday on TV, it’s gotten on my nerves.

But now from this commercial I see that whatever it is, it’s been exactly the same since she was nine.

(In passing, did you know she was 45? I didn’t. Wow, she looks good.)

In more recent Jodie Foster news, I had heard about her Penn commencement speech.

Now that I see it I’m not sure what to think. It's ballsy ... creative ... self-deprecating. But also, frankly, embarrassing. As a fellow white girl, I literally blushed watching it.

Yeesh. Jodie. Not so much a blush for me as a cringe. There are white people with soul. She's trying, but, no.

She is a nice person, and by the way, she is 43, she'll be 44 on november 19.
