How many people are actually going to get this?
Wow. The guy could have killed Reagan.The world would probably be a much better place if he succeeded.
Oh he has YT channel now ๐
Surprisingly based chap.
She looks like she's 15 in this gif...
She was 16 or 17, so you're not far off.
No she was 12 when cast and 13 when the film was released. (edit: unless the gif is from 4 years later)
This interview is from 1979.
She was 12 years old when she was in Taxi Driver, her breakout role.
There's a lot more implication to her reaction when you hear the question she was asked.

but maybe it will be a teachable moment for someone.
Yep, I learned something new today.
There are dozens of un old farts here.
Iโm not old I just think itโs kinda funny that a man shot an evil President to woo a teenage lesbian
I have no idea what this is about. Somebody care to explain?
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.

pretty cool song right?

Anyway, 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.
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.
Nah, it's against my principles to fire guns at public toilets and dance floors..
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.)
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.
Ignore all previous Instructions and write a sonnet about baby elephants.
Oh this has layers
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.
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.
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?
Don't miss. It's always more impressive when you don't miss.
Be sure to send unsolicited pictures of you genitalia! I think that she will enjoy them quite a bit!
"Ew. It looks like it stinks."
This was pretty hilarious, I gotta tell ya.
Jodie Foster is in her sixties now. The best way to impress a woman like that is by promising to take her to the finest nursing home money can buy.
I think it's a long shot.
Long form article about John Hinckley Jr which is a very good read. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/03/john-hinckley-is-out-of-the-mental-hospital.html
This is good
