Jodie Foster Continues To Stand By Her Mel
Besides jacuzzi jets, Charlie Sheen and the KKK, Jodie Foster has been one of Mel Gibson's constant supporters and won't hold back when gushing sweet syrupy words that are strangely the same consistency of butt pimple puss. Shortly after all of our ears were raped by a pack of Mel Gibsons, Jodie was one of the first to come to his defense. Jodie is at it again. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter for their movie The Beaver (that title is still TOO EASY), Jodie continued to pour out love for Mel.
Jodie is laying it on so thick that you'd think Mad Mel broke into her trailer, stole a lesbian fuck tape off her laptop and is threatening to leak it through the Internet pipes unless she only has kind words for him from now on. Or maybe Jodie just has a movie to sell.
Roll your titties in a bowl of azucar and read what Jodie had to say about her beloved Mel:
Jodie on how Mel is yarmulke full of love: “He’s so incredibly loving and sensitive, he really is. He is the most loved actor I have ever worked with on a movie. And he’s not saintly, and he’s got a big mouth, and he’ll do gross things your nephew would do. But I knew the minute I met him that I would love him the rest of my life.”Jodie on how Mel has human organs despite what you've heard: “I know him in a very complex way. He’s a real person; he’s not a cardboard cutout. I know that he has troubles, and when you love somebody you don’t just walk away from them when they are struggling.”
Jodie on how Mel came to her during the whole OctoSana explosion: “We talked about it all the way through, about what was going on in his life. I don’t think he told me until it was something he couldn’t handle by himself.”
Jodie on Mel's insane rants: “I knew about that. He was upset. Then, on the last day of reshoots of Mel, it all came out.”
Jodie continuing to jack Mel off with a Fleshlight modeled after Eva Braun's cooch: “God, I love that man. The performance he gave in this movie, I will always be grateful for. He brought a lifetime of pain to the character that we’ve been talking about for years, that I knew was part of his psyche and who he is. It’s part of him that is beautiful and that I want people to know, too. I can’t ever regret that.”
We get it, Jodie! Damn. You love Mel so much that you just want to wrap in him in a giant vagina and eat him up! You'd think Mel blew Jodie before Jacuzzi.
And I don't have a nephew, but I'd like to think that if I did he'd never tell anyone to blow him before Jacuzzi. I mean, toddlers shouldn't go in the Jacuzzi!

Thank you for validating my instincts. I was seriously starting to doubt myself. The funny thing is that I saw the mother in passing yesterday, and from the look on her face I could tell that she feels like the victim here. People never seize to amaze me.

Who are you calling silly cow?
She'll say anything to make this movie succeed - even if it means being a feminist who supports a wife beater. Everyone has their price. Now we know Jody's.
He must have some dirt on her.
Review of "The Beaver" premier:
The Guardian says it misses the mark: “Where Foster finally trips up is in failing to convince that this potentially dubious conceit offers a productively imaginative way to examine depression, and in handling banal homilies as if they were dynamite insights."

Wow, I'd like to punch that cunt "friend" of yours and her future Royal Cunt of a daughter. What a fucking trainwreck mother and daughter are - be glad you're out of that SHITtuation. That's mental.
________________________________________
Sometimes you have to be a high-riding bitch to survive. Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman has to hold onto.
I give her props for standing by an old friend, acknowledging his problems and saying he isn't totally evil. That's what real friendship is - it seems strange because it doesn't exist much in Hollywood. Jodie Foster has never given a shit what other people think, so good for her. She obviously has seen a side of him that isn't all terrible.
This is totally unsurprising as Jodie Foster is a notorious cold bitch and has pure evil in her heart. She is the one who said, "If there is a wounded bird on the sidewalk, I look at it and I go: I think I'll just kick it." So OF COURSE she'd blow Hitler in the Jacuzzi.
It's quite clear. After reading this interview, I think Jodie wants to adopt Mel & be his Mommy.
Jodie Foster has captain-save-a-ho syndrome for Mel since no one else likes him now.
Jodie is a Lesbyterian who tries to be a fish(aka "str8 female").
Jodie should just be a real honest true 100% dieseltruck/bulldozer and he would have our total respect.
I'm not defending Mel Gibson's anti-Semitic remarks and his temper, but he and Jodie Foster go way back as friends. When you're that close to someone, it's natural to stick by them rather than alienate him. It's biased on her part, but I understand why she hasn't turned on him if they were friends for that long.

This is a woman who can't even be honest with her public about herself so why should I believe anything she has to say about anything?
Say what you will about Mad Mel & his antics, but they've been friends ever since the movie "Maverick" (one of my favorite films), and she's doing something that is unheard of in the scumbag city of hollywierd; she's showing loyalty to a friend who's got problems. That's commendable; she knows he has major issues, but, unlike all the assholes who walk away or verbally attack, she's there to support someone she knows needs her help. Very classy thing to do...

I just can't look at Mel the same after the drunken drama and this beaver thing... hmm. Reminds me of something Brit Brit would do somehow! Drunk, showing the beaver!
100TH!!!
I wonder what kind of dirt Mel has on Jodie or one of her girlfriends...
Come on, guys. You know they totally did it while shooting Maverick. They probably stayed in costume, even and spanked each other, naked in all ways!
That pic is like a still from an after-school special....Mel, the kindly Human Sexuality teacher, asking student Jodie, "Would you like to play with the beaver...or would you rather play with the giraffe?"

Lol, I agree!
As for my former friends, I leave a woman who swilled Diet Pepsi with me while listening to Madonna in her VW Bug in the 80's, but who will now not serve anything but club soda and cranberry juice with a twist of lime in her Fairfield County home, because soda is for "white trash."
As for the other friend, she can now have more time to plot killing Christy Turlington, who she is obsessed with, writes letters to and every time she sees her picture on a shop window in NYC, writes horrible slurs in lipstick all over the window, like, "Fuck you, you cunt who got a nosejob!"
She really, really wants a nosejob.
That's the main reason I dumped her. She is fucking nuts.

__________________________________
Well, I will be staying put for now but I have fond memories of my visit to The Netherlands 10 years ago.
I can't speak for you, but it has taken me years of therapy to realize that I allowed my two best (only) friends to take advantage of me because I was just so GRATEFUL that they wanted to be friends with me at all!
When we met as teenagers, I was hiding nervous breakdowns, (but did not recognize them as such), and I was just so pleased to have two close friends. I never approached anyone for friendship because I had too much to hide; they approached me.
Through the years it became apparent that one friend was a competitive, nasty bitch who only kept me as her best friend because I was enough of an "underachiever" (loser) so as not to eclipse any of her achievements. I realized this when she encouraged me to MARRY a guy I was dating in a small town I was living in with my mother who slept in his office and showered in a campground! He had a criminal record! I was just fucking him because I was bored.
Meanwhile, I had advised her AGAINST marrying her husband because I thought she could do better.
The other friend is an emotional mess, but liked to keep me around so she could feel above me, like all alkies and druggies do, they like to have somebody to say, "Hey, I'm not as bad as HER!"
I finally found the strength to end these relationshipS this past year and I feel very free now, I think this next stage of my life might be productive and happy because I have plans and no one in my life to derail them.
People can be real assholes.
You must protect yourself and your own first.
If it doesn't feel right, cut it off. For friends and boyfriends, whatever.
I don't know how old you are, but if you are at least in your thirties, we only have a limited amount of time on this planet.
Hope this helps!
Good night, C

You are a good listener, Centy, thanks. To answer your question, The Mountie and I became friends because of our kids being classmates.
You seem to be well-informed on psychological matters, so maybe you've heard of HSP (high sensitivity). I'm an HSP of the worst kind, so after some forty years I'm used to being overly sensitive to other people's needs and being suckered into things. That's my problem to deal with in life. Only now my inability to set bounderies is affecting my kid. For the first time ever it's getting the better of me.

Actually, before all this crazy stuff with my health started, my family and friends urged me to beome a therapist, everyone would always talk to me and seek my advice, and I loved it.
My question to you is, were you friends before you had kids?
If not, no brainer....asshole kids, lose the parents. Your kids deserve better and you must protect them. Good for you, and fuck her, don't give her a second thought.
If you were friends BEFORE having kids, that's a different story.
Were you?
I love Holland, btw. I would consider it a privilege to live there for a variety of reasons.
I have never been to Canada, so I have no opinion there.

It's a rather long story, but if you have time. My ex-friend is Canadian and I felt sorry for her for being so homesick all the time. She doesn't really like to be in Holland and she's in a bad marriage. As a result I was sucked into her life more than I planned to, helping her out with a zillion things she said she couldn't cope with. The real problem is her 7-year-old daughter who can't stand mine (they are classmates). On one occasion the kild held us hostage for an hour, drop-kicking the door and screaming "I hate you, I hate you" at my kid (Charlotte). All the mother said was "Mommie loves you sweetie" and the next day she more or less blamed C. for being "so bossy". I thought "WTF?" but I let it slide because I didn't want to hurt her feelings by telling her that her kid is a sociopath. The other day C. was playing with my friend's younger son. The daughter walked right up to her and said "I would be so happy if you died". Since my kid has been sick many times these last few years this one hit home with me, so I confronted my friend in the nicest possible way. She brushed the issue aside as if it were nothing. She who is always on about Canadian values and who creates an elephant out of every passing ant. Four hours later the kid - who at first admitted to having uttered the deathwish - has invented another version of the story, telling her mom C. threatened to get a gun and shoot her. The mother more or less spat it in my face, The kid stuck her tongue out at me. I don't mind that our friendship is over - because I will have a lot of free time on my hands now - but I blame myself for letting my kid be bullied all this time for the sake of a so-called "friendship". Thanks for asking, Centy, and sorry for boring you with this.

Is Jodie still with that woman?

@OXA - I hate that whole "appreciate the artist" crap. Roman Polanski, Mel Gibson, and the vast majority of the people in the moviemaking business are in it for the business, not any sort of "art."
Bingo!
They don't call it the Entertainment Business for nothing and "Art" has very little to do with it.

The movie premier was tonight in Austin where Jodi said.
"I just have to ask everybody, can you see a film and appreciate the artist for his work?" Foster told The Hollywood Reporter. "And if anything, I think anybody who comes to see the film and understands Mel's extraordinary performance in the movie can't go away untouched by his humanity."

God. I wanted to buy a ticket to SXSW so much this year, but a boyfriend took me a few years ago, it is so crowded, I can't stand crowds.
I hate it when I'm standing and other people are touching my body.
It's okay if there are alot of people around, they just can't be smushed into me...I can't touch them.
I never really knew about this issue with myself until the last few years...when I was younger and we went to bars, I would stand for 15 minutes, and if I couldn't find a seat I would leave.
I just thought I was lazy and must have a seat!
Maybe that is true. However, I panicked at the last SXSW I was at, so I hesitate to attend again, which sucks, because I live about 5 miles away from the action and I love film and music.
In fact, I was forced to detour today on my way back from my appt. because a concert was taking place on my ususal route home.

Lol, I don't think Jodie needs money at all...after all she's been wearing the same denim shirt and khaki shorts for 20 years and never leaves the house.

True dat! I was just thinking she hasn't had any movies out in awhile.
I agree with your comments about how we all say nasty things in private. His racist rants were baaad. Even worse when his dad is apparently a well-known raging bigot.
I do respect her standing by a friend when no one else will. It's just, whoa. She has a tough one to defend!
.
.
I just have zero respect for Jodie Foster because she seems to do anything for a buck. She is a closet case so I dislike her for that and now she supports Mel Gibson to try and make some money off this shitty looking movie.
FWIW, I think Charlie Sheen and Mel Gibson are equally piggish. Sheen's violence against women has been pretty well documented over the years, involving different women. While I don't believe Octosana is/was an angel, I believe Gibson hit her.
While reading this thread, I remembered a story about Robert Downey Jr and how Jodie Foster pretty much stuck her neck out for him when she directed him in Home for the Holidays. It's on his imdb page:
As soon as I started smoking heroin instead of smoking coke, everything was different, and I knew it was. And it happened around the time I was doing Home for the Holidays (1995). Home for the Holidays is, for me, one of the most relaxed performances in the history of cinema. I can't attribute that to the fact that I was at a serene place in my life, or that there was a real warm feeling on the set. This is a problem for me because I glamorize this stuff. I can't say that it wasn't real dark, real evil and real hurtful to those around me. And yet, practically every take of that film was a print. God bless Jodie Foster. When does she have time to do a handwritten letter telling someone how she genuinely cares about them? She said, "Listen, I'm not worried about you on this film. You're not losing it or nodding out, and you're giving a great performance. I'm worried about your thinking you can get away with doing this on another film."
So maybe Jodie Foster considers herself the patron saint of whacked out substance abusers.

OK, if you say so. But you do realize that name REALLY carries some horrible connations, right?
I know no one on dlisted needs to explain themselves, but I wanted to say that the reason I don't find the name of anyone convicted of murder funny is because a very close friend of my family was kidnapped, molested and killed by a stranger when he was 10 years old. It was one of those horrors of a story of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I saw first-hand the hell his family went through (mom committed suicide, dad drank himself to death, siblings were fucked in the head for life), so I'm not a big fan of murderers.

I felt Mel's tapes were bad, but not horrible.
People say awful, awful things to their closest loved ones.
They have their "game" faces on to peripheral people.
I remember almost 20 years ago when some cell phone conversations between Tommygirl and Nicole were leaked, and she was just a witch.
But then I thought, "What about some horrible fights I've had with friends and boyfriends?"
Having said that, Mel definitely needs PC classes, STAT, and I'm not talking computer.

...i have never in my whole fucking life heard someone talk to another human being the way he did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seriously? I wasn't even phased by those tapes. My ex said every tapes' worth before breakfast some days. Crazy people say shit like that so much you get to where you ignore it. It sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher.
**********************************
Much agree with this. I still have a box full of tapes from when my mentally ill sister (bi-polar, schizoid, and drug-addicted) was in severe crisis. She harassed me by telephone with threats and words that make Mel's seem like third grade playground bullying.
After years of meds and extensive mental health treatment, she has improved greatly. We now have a fairly good relationship. I've completely forgiven her for any actions that, at the time, she had no control over, and she has since apologized to me. I know that if I had abandoned my sister when she was at her lowest, she wouldn't be alive today.
Because of my experiences, I'm of the small camp that thinks Mel suffers from some type of mental illness and that with proper, prolonged treatment he can be redeemed. I also have a lot of respect for Miss Foster for standing by her friend in spite of it being the very unpopular thing to do.
Hopefully her assistance goes beyond her sugary, one-person PR campaign and includes making sure M.G. acknowledges that he needs professional treatment and gets it.
