Jodie Foster comment concerning: the current state of movies
(spoken about on John Campea's vlog published on YouTube 01/01/2018)





When I see comments made by famous personalities, like Jodie Foster, I consider the source (print or online media), author/interviewer credentials, context (what were the previous/follow up questions) and location (was this a comment done to interviewer #1M on one of those marathon press junkets). I am still going to see superhero movies (because they are usually enhanced by popcorn) along with the Indies or "slow-burn" movies (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Lady Bird, The Shape of Water etc.). Maybe Jodie Foster was being elitist or entitled, or just was tired, who knows. Clickbait or truth, this comment will not matter long term to us or to Jodie Foster.





COMMENT MADE ON SK News (published on 01/04/18) on YouTube

While I could not read the entire interview (RadioTimes.com did NOT like my ad-blocker) with Jodie Foster, I assumed that her statement was part of a larger article which might show the lead-in and follow-up questions. WE ALL LOVE JODIE FOSTER. So her comment in context may not be as entitled as it sounds as an excerpt. WE ALL LOVE JODIE FOSTER. Jodie Foster has directed an episode (Arkangel) on season 4 of Black Mirror. Obviously she does not mind fantasy. WE ALL LOVE JODIE FOSTER. As someone who has transitioned from child actor, to teen actor, to adult actor, to parent, back to adult actor, to director, to producer she has proven her maturity and talent, but needs to expand her auteur-life view. And finally, WE ALL LOVE JODIE FOSTER.
