I just saw this movie for the first time yesterday and was amazed at how good it was. I absolutely love this movie and have come to love Wilt even more from the movie as well. Wilt is such an amazing friend and wonderful person and one that I'd like to become more like over my life. Anyway definate A+++++. Can only hope the finale movie will be just as good, and I have faith that it will be.

I did miss the first three minutes of GWH could someone fill me in on Coco's creator's?

We still do not know any more about Coco's creator, other than what Craig revealed on his blog-that Coco's creator was a little girl whose family's plane crash-landed on a deserted Pacific island, and she created Coco apparently after being the only survivor, and Coco's various parts were imagined based on things the child saw in her daily existence. Coco was discovered by the two geeks, "Douglas" and "Adam", who were biologists, apparently, and were researching tropical birds(or mosquitoes, lol) when they found Coco, but Coco was alone-no other humans on the island at that time, so we can assume that her creator was either rescued, and left her Imaginary Friend behind, or died. Douglas and Adam brought Coco back to civilization to study her, then apparently left her at Foster's after awhile.

I see that makes sense. Thanks for filling me in.

I love at the end where Coco is preening one of the geeks hair like a mom.

Anyway thanks again, I missed that part.

That's one of the things I'd love to see-a DVD released, to the general public(as opposed to special give-aways to the folks who screened the movie), that includes more footage and goes into a bit more detail, and comes complete with an in-depth interview/commentary by the star himself, as well as other key players in the movie.

I'm all up for expanding on Wilt's past. As you've mentioned over yonder in the Wilt thread, he probably had to get medical attention pretty quickly, before his injuries or the offshoot problems (infection, illness caused by infections, etc.) killed him. As to those eight lost years, I have two theories:

1.) He'd probably have hung around Charleston, or relatively close to Charleston-- if he was still in his old neighborhood, Jordan would have found him eventually-- for a while, since it's highly unlikely that it would have taken him EIGHT YEARS to get from South Carolina to Washington state. Circumstances put aside, he managed to get to Charleston from Foster's in a few days, a week tops. (I lost track of the time frame when I was watching-- again, too swept up in plot and characters!)

2.) He wandered for a while, just barely eking out a living, until SOMETHING finally forced him to settle down at Foster's. I'm fully aware that this contradicts Theory #1, but both a plasuible explanations.

Jordan's side of the story would be very interesting to explore, especially from the retrospect-30-someodd years later vantage point. Which brings me to... I would LOVE to see GWH on DVD. An very in-depth, non-Barbara Walters type interveiw with Wilt-- or one with Wilt and Jordan-- would be wonderful, as would a commentary on the film by Wilt. :D

It's so exciting, I nearly forgot it doesn't exist, and probably won't...

We can dream, though...

Think positive, AG1-- if demand is strong enough, a supply will be met. And given the amount of fans, it could very well happen. A whole cast comentary could be a ton of fun... So yeah.

Well, this does seem pretty redundant, but I finally caught "Good With Hunting" for the first time yesterday. I'll keep this short and to the point, because I'm sure many things have already been said about it. Wonderful story, some absolute genius running gags, and some genuinely heart-warming moments, and I can tell you, this movie had me rooting for Wilt the whole time. In other words, it suceeded on every level. A classic.:D

"GOOD WILY HUNTING??? When did THAT air?
And what exactly do you mean by "Nomore"? That it isn't good anymore, or that you're trying to dictate to the rest of us that we cannot discuss Good Wilt Hunting, assuming that's what you meant?

Oh come on, Good Wily Hunting was a classic...

Anyhow, I think that all DaBomb was trying to convey in that statement is that they're sorry that the episode in question no longer airs so much where they are, or that the show in general has ceased production. Dictate how we should behave? Nah, can't say I see that.

Sparky 06-13-2009 09:32 AM

Please don't make fun of people for not typing well. :/ That's not cool.

Oh sorry, I wasn't making fun of DaBomb - it certainly wasn't my intention anyway.
