probably but unlikely since she isnt responcible.

one example was her actually dancing at the party that bloo wasnt supposed to do.

another is when mac and the gang were going to europe and frankie was telling her what to do while they were gone and maddam foster wasnt paying attention at all and playing with her glasses:mfoster:

swarlock 11-23-2006 09:13 PM

Give it till the end of the month. Then upload it somewhere.

Invader Bloo 11-23-2006 09:19 PM

My name is Jordan, so of I was an african american & good at BB,I could be Wilt's creator....sorta....:D :P
I sorta wished to see Goo & all her friends though.

jokerbloo 11-23-2006 09:22 PM

but she cant see all of her friends since almost all of them were adopted.:goo:

Madame Foster might've forced Mr. Herriman to do the chores in the meantime(like how he became Lil' Lincoln's "maid" in EC). In any case, I don't think it's a particulary major issue. If Frankie did the monstrous pile of chores given to her in "Camp Keep A Good Mac Down" and survived the events of IHFUMEUP(>:( :frankiemad: :( :'(), I think she'll be fine.

I think Frankie is already scorchingly hot as it is. In fact, I stand by my belief that the real thing is WAY SUPERIOR to the nerds' "idealized" version. Don't get me wrong, seeing that "special" Frankie was funny, and it's very attractive on a surface level... but in my opinion, it completely removes the wholesomeness and warmth that makes her beauty truly special. The original is the best. :frankiesmile:

i would have to agree with you about everything

scary_dream 11-24-2006 12:03 AM

I really really enjoyed this movie! There are so many things I loved about it.

I really liked how the movie was planned out - with every helpful task he did, we got to see a little more of his past. I'm so glad that we finally got to see his creator and what happened to him.

There are so many emotion-evoking moments in it! I got kind of angry whenever Larry was literally beating Wilt on the court. It really got me when he slammed Wilt's head into the ground... :frankiemad: Though I was happy Wilt didn't stoop to his level and kept playing fair.
It was very touching, too, when Jordan held up his hand and he was still wearing Wilt's wristband. It looked like Wilt was about to cry after Jordan told him everything!
I was SO happy in any situation involving Wilt and Jordan, especially when Jordan saved Wilt and whenever they were playing together in the end. I'm glad that Wilt has found inner and outer peace now with himself, his creator, and (maybe) Larry. (Dunno about Larry... we don't know how Wilt reacted to him after he wasn't a jerk anymore. It's not like Wilt to hold a grudge, but Larry WAS the reason for him losing his eye, arm, and best friend for years.)

I laughed so much during the end whenever Wilt was being one of those "crazy soccer dads" that sometimes get kicked out of games. "THIS IS NOT A CONTACT SPORT, PEOPLE!"

The parts with Eduardo and Nina were uber adorable!! It was really cute how protective of her he was, and how even though she's an adult, she still giggles like a little girl when he hugs her and rocks her. I loved seeing her ride on his head and hold his horns. :D

My boyfriend recorded this and I've already watched it (I think) 3 times... and I plan on watching it again in the morning. 8D I can't help myself. It's great.

DoubleLatte 11-24-2006 01:09 AM

I taped it and watched it twice. Loved it. Though I was a little (just a little) disappointed that Wilt's creator wasn't a girl. All in all, the theories weren't too far off from Wilt having been a role model and a fatherly figure to this little boy. He even called his creator "my boy", making Wilt sound even more fatherly than your typical IF, which I found irresistibly sweet. And the part were he holds the crying little IF and comforts her? Two words: father material. ;3 I'm definitely getting up early tomorrow to catch the rerun!

I didn't get that either. :3

I admit I could sort of see why Wilt may have had to have his arm amputated after such a bad break in multiple places (his arm being so long and thin perhaps setting the bone just wasn't possible), but why did his eye suddenly become rattly just from being smacked with a basketball? I thought at first that Larry landed on his eyestalk too (which of course would rupture the eye and explain why Wilt got a false one, even one that obviously wasn't made specially for him) but having his eye suddenly shrink and become unblinking etc just didn't work for me. (Sorry.)
Again, that didn't work for me either. The amputated arm? Okay. But losing his eye in the manner he did didn't exactly strike me as predetermined for the character. It just seemed more convinient than realistic. Same thing I keep wondering: how does an eye go about becoming bent and plastic-like from getting bludgeoned with a basketball? I didn't quite buy into it, either, though the concept tugged at the heartstrings, definitely.

Another thing that'll probably keep me up all night: Exactly what kind of Spanish do Nina and Eduardo speak? Some of their conversations left me scratching my head and I constantly wondered if Nina's use of words might have been slang from other Latin countries. Pollo duro, which actually translates to "hard chicken", could either be (unsuccesfully) trying refer to "tough chicken", in which case it would have been gallina; unless the word pollo duro holds a different meaning in another Spanish-speaking country. Eduardo's and Nina's conversations were a horrible mish-mash of English and Spanish that it was just hard to follow and understand without the captions on. Even then, much of what they said hardly made sense to me.
The only thing that bears any true resemblance to the Spanish Mexicans speak is Eduardo's reference to pesos (the currency used in Mexico) in "Emancipation Complication."

Fomalhaut 11-24-2006 02:57 AM

Okay... since I won't see this movie for ages, I have read the spoilers.
FINALLY! Though I have written a fanfic about this as well, I'm happy they have proved all those violent, angsty or worse ones wrong! :)

lucyrocks73 11-24-2006 05:42 AM

Hmm...

Well, I gave it a B.

(*waits for bricks*)

I wished there would have been more Mac 'n' Bloo fluff...

Er... not much to say, to be honest. I mean, I thought it was great. I really did. Just everything I'm thinking was already said...

I thought the Eduardo-Nina part ROCKED.

This is just my initial watching it review... I'm going to re-watch it and then make a more in-deph review in a day or two.

Ciao.

I don't get the eye part, either. An eyeball often will atrophy back into the socket long after a serious injury, but it usually swells first due to blood vessels breaking inside. That would not explain how it becomes artificial-like with a rattly "pupil", though since the pupil isn't a solid object but a hole, or aperture, into the eye. The arm I can understand; with that many breaks it would have been impossible to set properly even if Wilt had gotten immediate medical attention, which he probably didn't. Back in those days, they didn't have some of the medical advances that allow doctors to salvage badly-broken limbs today. Still, with fractures that bad, and that numerous, the main arteries would have seriously crimped, shutting of the blood supply to the arm. You don't wanna know what would have happened afterwards, but suffice it to say that Wilt would have wound up one very sick dude. Sorry for being so graphic, but I've done volunteer work at a vet's, so I'm pretty familiar with how such injuries progress.

Well, what happened to Wilt WAS violent; I mean, when Larry(who has to weigh close to half a ton)falls on Wilt's arm, you can literally hear the bones snapping and crunching and see the look of agony and shock on Wilt's face. It's not gory and bloody, but it was pretty rough to watch, especially knowing that Larry INTENDED to hurt Wilt in one way or another, to keep him and his boy from winning, and felt no remorse about it, either. It may not have been the result of abuse by his creator(furtherest thing from it, thankfully), but you cannot get any more angsty that Wilt running off, badly injured, but thinking nothing of his own safety and well-being, only that he'd let down the most important person in the world to him, and was too ashamed to face him, and that little boy blaming himself for what happened to Wilt, making HIM too ashamed to go and look for him.

I still am reeling from this movie-could barely sleep last night at all! It did prove one of my far-out theories correct though, and that was the father-son relationship between Wilt and his creator. As someone pointed out, Wilt does not even speak of Jordan as his "creator", but refers to him as "my boy" and "my kid", in the exact same way a father would refer to his son. Jordan never talks down to Wilt as though he's inferior in any way, but jokes around with him and treats him as a respectable adult, acknowledging Wilt's decisions. Although nothing was ever mentioned of Jordans' real father, it would not be surprising if he was absent, possibly deceased, and the kid subconciously created this wonderful being not only to show him how to play basketball, but to be that missing father-to show him how to be a better person, as he puts it, which is what fathers ought to do. That end credit scene, hilarious as it was, just reinforced that notion that even though Jordan is older by a few years, Wilt still thinks of him as his son(and still a little kid-parents and grandparents never can quite accept that their baby has grown up).

By the way, did anyone catch the voice credits? I swear that the long-haired guy in jail, the one in the middle, sounded an awful lot like Larry the Cable Guy.

Imaginary Light 11-24-2006 07:47 AM

I thought that this was a really really really good movie. I only wish that it was longer than an hour.

I think GWH had a good balance of heartwarming scenes and humor. I gasped out loud when Wilt's arm was crushed. But I do have one question: how did Wilt get the scars on his face? They never really showed that.

Eduardo and Nina's relationship was sooo cute! It's so nice to see that his creator still cares for him, even though she had to give him up way back when.

I don't even have the time right now to talk about everything I wanted to from this movie. But I'm giving it an A, of course.

I think that the "group" that was looking for Wilt was far to large in order for everyone to get their fair share of lines and such. It was very well written, but Bloo ruined the feeling that they were trying to convey. I was really looking foward to it and I don't hate it, but it fell a little short of what I though it would be like.

LONG REVIEW
 
Five words: "Too Good For A Review". But I'll try.

SUMMERY
This movie proved to be the BEST movie in the history of the television...maybe even movie history as well! We find out what happened to Wilt, and now, I love him (AS FAMILY, DANGIT) even more than I had. Learning that Wilt's creator, Jordan Michaels, (is that how it's spelled?) wanted to become as good a player as his older brother, thus making Wilt real.

BEGINNING
Wilt all tense and uncomfortable, not wanting to talk about his creator. Aww.

Jeez, if Wilt can wake up Bloo, then Wilt must've been LOUD. XD

Even on a journey, Wilt is always lending a helping hand (even if he's only got one), just look how he helped Floofy Woogums (the pink teddy-bear IF)! And being pulled into a group hug...aww.

"Cwissmith? I mean, Christmas? But that was months ago!" -Wilt

And helping out that farmer caused Wilt to miss his train. Oops.

MIDDLE
Wilt, again, lending a helping hand. Mowing lawns. Geez, later on they stretched the truth. Golden lawnmover? PAH. The thing was rusted up. He remembers a little of his past, back when he was whole - and he didn't look a little, um, disturbing, because we're used to seeing him as he is today - and his creator, back then, had an AFRO. XDDD But aww, Wilt was no different than he is today - nice, encouraging, father-like, and then competitive around "The most important game of my boy's life". Which I'll talk about later on.

One time gets him into trouble with the police. XDD

"You're under arrest for assistance in burglery!" -Police

I loved how Wilt just let out a bit of his past to total strangers, to jailbirds, of all people.

Wilt: I crushed-
Jailer: His foot?
Wilt: No. I crushed his dreams.

NEAR ENDING
Dun-dun-dun! The good part comes on, the rematch. Slow motion and in an angle as Wilt walks into the BBall court. SLOW MOTION. XDD

When Foul Larry was messing Wilt, Wilt did show a hint of sadness or hurt, yet kept a deturmined look, or a "stiff upper-lip".

"Why don't you PROVE it, if THAT'S ok?" -Wilt

Even if Wilt is supposed to be angry and deturmined, he still is polite about it, saying "Sorry, but I had to take care of things first,". Foul Larry is nasty, calling Wilt a shortie!

"You scared...shortie?" -Foul Larry

Wilt's face sure says "Bring it ON". And sure, Wilt is winning...at first. I think that Wilt did win, because Larry was cheating by throwing/tripping/just plain treating Wilt like a ragdoll. And cheaters NEVER win. As much as Wilt kept getting hurt, he never started fighting back like Larry was. Wilt just kept getting back up and following the rules. Though pausing a few times, he never gave up, he never backed out. He was no quiter.

Though, as he pauses one time, he remembers...when he lost his arm and eye. Even back then, he never gave up. Still being as good as he is now at BBall when he was whole. Then, risking his left arm to save his boy, and the BBall ruined his left eye...ow. But Wilt never paid any attention to the pain he must've felt, only thinking how he had let his boy down.

But...BACK TO REALITY.

Stats: Larry's going for a slam!
Wilt: A slam! *gulp*
Stats: He's going to win!

Even knowing what could happen to him, Wilt had to try to block it. Before Wilt could "go SPLAT" against the wall, someone saves him - Jordan.


As it turns out, Wilt feels that his creator would never forgive him, because he had lost...again.

"I lost. I can't believe I lost again. Now he'll never forgive me." -Wilt

But the tables are turned (fortunately) and Jordan does still care about him, especially when he told what had happened when Wilt disappeared.

"It wasn't until Stats had told me, long afterward, 'bout your arm and eye...it was all my fault. I looked everywhere for you, but you had disappeared. Losing taught me an important thing, that winning wasn't everything. I had created you to make me a better player, but instead, made me a better person. Wilt, you're the best friend I ever had, you've got to stop saying you're sorry, it's not ok...ok?" -Jordan Michaels

Seriously, I loved that part. Especially when Wilt grinned, said "Ok!" and hugged his creator...cue the big fat "AWWW", people. Cue it, I demand you!

ENDING
Back at Foster's, "the 'hood" IFs start living there. Even Larry. Though I'm not sure if Wilt and him are going to still treat each other as rivals, or if they had bonded a friendship. Who knows?

Before Jordan leaves, Wilt and him play basketball...aww. Old pals. Except when Wilt keeps scoring. I SWEAR, even if Wilt is apologising every time, he's doing it on purpose. I SWEAR it.

"Why'd I make you so tall?" -Jordan

CREDITS
LOL! Wilt the BBall dad! (pun of "Soccer moms")

"Oh, come on, that was a FOUL!"
"This isn't a contacting sport, people!"
"Come on, brake it up, brake it up." -Wilt

"C" the Dragon 11-24-2006 09:24 AM

I took it that you enjoyed it almost as much as I enjoyed it!:D

For the record they were the right size to me. And Bloo was being Bloo. I certainly didn't go in thinking he'd be any less because of Wilt's dissapearance. This was Wilt's story through and through.

InsaneFan 11-24-2006 11:11 AM

YAYI'MBACKNOW!!!!! Man, I'ma have sooooooo much to catch up on...

But OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMG!!!!!!!!!!! Good Wilt Hunting was the BEST. THING. IN THE. UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!! *dies* And the squeal, aww and gasp factors were H00J. For me and my friend, anyways. x3 I was in shock for an hour and a half after it was over. My friend got mad at me 'cause I had that jaw-open-slightly-staring-off-into-the-distance-delayed-mumbled-answers thing going on. Seriously. It didn't go away until we watched again.

Me and my friend rated it at least PG13 for strong basketball violence, slight cleavage, extreme unfairness towards Wilt and the word 'nudist'. xD


Okay, intro to review over. Herewego!!



I LOVELOVELOVED seeing all the creators of the friends! DID YOU GUYS SEE KHAKI!?!? xD And "What else is on?" =3

Call me stupid, but I so didn't see Nina being Ed's creator coming! AND IT WAS SO CUTE!!! "Banditos es de muertos!! Muertos!!" 8D

As SOON as I saw Wilt, there was an immediate :wiltshock: Awww! *sniff* And, as it turns out, Mac was right and Bloo was wrong. As usual. xD

Adam and Douglas: OMGYAY. xD I luff dems.

When Wilt was on the phone, I thought it might be his creator he was talking to! Of course, I SOMEHOW managed not to spoil anything by watching previews, though my friend kept trying to tell me stuff. Dx

Then at the train station...THE LOST AND FOUND SCENE BROKE MY HEART!! I was on the verge of tears through most parts of the movie. Also, I can NOT go 5 minutes without saying "Cwithmith!" now. =3 My friend and I rewound the tape over and over watching that part! IT WAS TOO CUTE!!!

As for people saying crap about Frankie being the first to "give up" and saying they should probably just go home: Dudes, she was doing the sensible thing. She was in charge of everybody, and they had already spent a quite a bit of money and with no trail to follow, the only thing to do was go home and hope he would come home himself. Besides, it's not like she was HAPPY about going home.

And Mac being gone that long? We should ask Craig to give us an episode explaining just how he does that every time. Until then, GET OVER IT, IT'S TV. The magic of TV sometimes cannot be explained.

MORE WILT. The flashbacks were better than I had hoped for! I squeaked every time one happened. Plus, the very first one made me gasp because I knew the ball would roll...OVER TO HIS OTHER ARM!!! He looked so...WEIRD with two non-wonky eyes!

And hey, what review would be complete without mentioning the stuff that Bloo came up with. "HE MUST HAVE ROBBED THEM! HE'S GETTING DEPERATE!!" "He led a life of debauchery and crime!"(that was the best! xD) "AL CAPONE! No, ATTILLA THE HUN!" "WILT'S CREATOR IS GODZILLA!!!" "Don't worry, he doesn't know of your life of crime!" x3 Plus, Bloo going Goo at the end was awesome. :gooblab:

And then...There was Larry. *shudder* I still don't like that guy. He smacked Wilt around left and right! IT WAS NOT FAIR I TELL YOU! It was sooooo crazy to see Wilt looking so...Small. o.o I mean, he's small compared to the New Guy, and the Extremeosaur, but this...This was different.

Now for the sad, sad flashback. I cringed and gasped, even though I saw it coming too. As for the unrealisticness of the wonky-eye-deal, I'm guessing that's not EXACTLY how it happened...They just had to do it that way for the younger audiences.

And JORDAN MICHEALS!!! That was TOO. COOL. The whole Jordan coming back thing was INCREDIBLY aww-provoking.

Wilt's speach on the jet made me SAD. *throws a fit* YOU'LL NEVER GET ADOPTED I'M TOO SELFISH TO LET YOU GOOOOOOO!! YOU SHALL BE ON FOSTER'S FOREVEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!! *throws things*

"Why'd I make you so tall?" No comment nesscisary. :D

And I'm pretty sure Wilt was the coach in the credits! I mean, they were all on folding chairs on the court, not in the stands! Or was that just so you could see them better? In any case...That was the best credits sequence EVAR. :bloogrin


Now, for overall stuff:
1. I can't be the only one who saw the Jordan poster and magazine. Seriously.
2. The way that the story of his past slowly became revealed was GREAT. If they had just dumped it all on in the end, it wouldn't've been as awesome. The way they did it, it lasted the whole hour! MORE ENJOYMENT, SEZ I!
3. I crown the Foster's crew as totalmegagihugiclybrilliant and eversoawesomelygenius!


One last thing: Why did only a few of you type nice, long posts?! Come on, PBL, I expected at LEAST one full long post from you! Sheesh, get with it, people!!

End post.

Invader Bloo 11-24-2006 11:39 AM

Here'smy long post IF:
The poster was supposed to be a parody of "Space Jam"(which starred Michael Jordan) with that squirel guy from that new CN original movie. The magazine was also a parody of how many times Michael Jordan was on "Sports Illustrated". I'd like to see a return of the main IFs creators (& in Coco's case founders) in future episodes. It seems like Nina comes atleast twice a year, Douglas & Adam come often to study the friends & Jordan will come everychance he gets now. I still wanted to see Goo, for once. :cheese:
Now that Wilt has FINALLY have his starring role, I'd expect we'll see episodes based on him atleast every season like Eduardo (Eddie Monster, Land of the Flea) or Coco (CFCCC & MSCW).... Atleast I (& everyone who's a Wilt fan) hope. I think Bloo had a REALLY small role, only there to put outcrazy theories. Of course him mad at Mac was genius & Godzilla being Wilt's creator will always be funny. I have high hopes that Season 5 will be even better than S4. This was the best possible way to begin a season ever! Even better than Zim's "Backseat Drivers from Beyond the Stars". I'm hoping season 5 will have a couple references to the creator's & of course atleast 1 more Wilt episode, 2 Frankie epsiodes, 1 Eduardo episode, 3 Bloo based episodes, 2 Mac episodes, 1 Goo episodes & the rest of the episodes are based on the Foster's 8 (The 5 + Goo & Frankie & Cheese). I can understand why Floofy was put in the Lost & found she looked like a stuffed teddy bear, but didn't she have to eat? Floofy was cute anyway (I like cute stuff, sounds a little gay for a guy but I like cute stuff). Her family was funny, " I love guests". :P Poor Wilt missing his train.:(
PBL's theory of Wilt in a gang was half right, I mean the "hood" is full of "gangstas" isn't it? I still don't like Larry, he crushed Wilt's arm & basically destroyed Wilt's eye! Unless he somehow makes up to Wilt, he'sone character I never want to see again (*cough*Goofball*cough*). "Cwissmith?
Imean, Chirstmas?..." will always crack me up. The jailers were funny " I broke into a ladies house to steal her valubles...to get a soda pop""Oooooh", or something like that. Those jailers were wimpy.:P I was mad that Wiki thing about Mac's mom thing but you can never trust Wiki.:jk: I wonder if CN will release this on DVD by itself or when the Season 5 DVD set comes out. I'd prefer it on it'sown, but since the pilot will be on the season 1 DVD I guess we're going to have to wait.

There's my...*count fingers*....3...no...2 cents!:D

pitbulllady 11-24-2006 12:16 PM

I've still been trying to compose something that was not a repeat of what everyone else has said, or didn't sound too stupid and over-the-top. I literally could not sleep last night after watching this movie-it left me THAT wired!

There's not a whole lot I can add, really, other than to say "I LOVED THIS MOVIEEEE! I felt that the flashback scene of how Wilt's arm was initially injured, along with his eye, was handled well for the younger members of the audience. It must have been quite challenging to show what happened without it being all bloody and gory. The older fans will figure out that Wilt had to have gotten medical help later, after leaving the scene, and that this was when his badly-fractured arm would have been amputated, something that the little ones really didn't need to be exposed to. They did show that Wilt DID come from what looked like a pretty rough neighborhood, and did reinforce my long-held belief that he was created as much to be a father figure for his creator as he was to play basketball. His referring to Jordan as "my boy" and "my kid", in the exact same manner that a proud father would refer to his son, is still quite touching, even now that his "boy" is a multi-millionaire with his own Lear jet. In the heart of his surrogate father/best friend, he will always and forever more be a little boy.

I was not disappointed by anyone else's roles, either. Ed's creator, Nina, was pivotal in helping find Wilt, due to her experitise in locating criminals on the lam and missing persons. The two nerds who found Coco added comic relief, along with Bloo's absurd theories(were they THAT absurd? I myself have speculated that Wilt might not have always been such a nice guy)as to who Wilt's creator was, but they also provided the necessary technology that eventually helped Mac and Nina correctly "profile" who Wilt's creator was. I thought it was a funny and ironic twist that Frankie had to play the part of an exasperated father on a family trip, with that joke about her not stopping for directions and threatening to turn the bus around if the others didn't stop bugging her, LOL! I can see her dilemma, though-she knows she has someone else's kid with her, probably unknown to his mom, she has a TON of chores and responsibilities waiting back home, but she is still clearly depressed about Wilt being gone and concerned with his safety. For those who wanted to see more Mac/Bloo interaction, I just have to say this: this was not THEIR movie. There have been plenty of opportunities to see Mac and Bloo interact; it's the main driving force behind many episodes, including the pilot, but Wilt really needed to have his day in the spotlight for once, and this was it.

I DO have to wonder, though, if this pilgrimage of his, his reconnecting with his creator(whom he HAD to have known about all these years, with Jordan being a celebrity), and coming to terms with his unpleasant past will change Wilt any, if he will stop saying "I'm sorry" all the time, as Jordan suggested.

I really don't think Wilt will stop saying "I'm sorry" it's his catchphrase like Cheese's "I like *insert some food or thing here*".

InsaneFan 11-24-2006 12:53 PM

GASP! I forgot to mention the jail scene! A POX UPON MYSELF!!!

The whole puppy story is one of the funniest part in the whole movie! Along with "Chwithmith?", of course, almost anything Bloo said, the "Lawn Ranger" and "BANDITOS ES DE MUERTOS! MUERTOS!!" ^^ Wait, allow me to brick myself, because I know I'm leaving stuff out.

Voxxyn 11-24-2006 12:58 PM

I don't AT ALL think that Frankie had "lost the heart" to find Wilt. I think she threatened to turn around and go home only out of extreme anger at the obnoxious singing that further aggravated the massive amount of responsabilities on her plate. After that scene, we get to see many moments showing Frankie's genuine concern and worry about Wilt missing, which made me happy.

And I think the episode had just the right amount of Mac and Bloo, since this was supposed to be Wilt's time to shine. I nearly died laughing when Bloo said that Wilt was created by Al Capone and Godzilla.

InsaneFan 11-24-2006 01:04 PM

OMGYES. xD The best line has to be "HE LED A LIFE OF DEBAUCHERY AND CRIME!", simply because I love the word 'debauchery'. xD

DoubleLatte 11-24-2006 01:16 PM

I thought I'd be the only one getting the "Space Jam" reference! LOL. I loved that movie as a kid even if it's a little embarrassing to admit it now. I don't think that Wilt will change his ways as far as constantly apologizing is concerned (hey, it's his thing), but at least he now knows exactly why he is at Foster's and doesn't want to leave. That was incredibly self-less and sweet. I felt an overwhelming urge to want to hug and kiss the guy after the movie was over.

Has anyone even used the chat to discuss the movie?

InsaneFan 11-24-2006 01:18 PM

Dude, I still love Space Jam! :D I still have it...I should watch it again.

You don't have to tell me how that feels, particularly when you're driving around with a bunch of hyperactive, annoying minors in the back with incessant chattering, yelling, squealing, whining. UGHH! There were several times when I wanted to turn around and strangle one of the little jerks or throw him out of the moving car. But that's just me, and I can be a little aggressive sometimes. I actually thought Frankie's reaction hit the nail on the head. "Now let's try SHUT UP!!" Tee-hee!

EDIT: Yes. Space Jam is teh r0x.

My friend got mad at me 'cause I had that jaw-open-slightly-staring-off-into-the-distance-delayed-mumbled-answers thing going on. Seriously. It didn't go away until we watched again.

Welcome back, Insanefan! XD Anyway, I watched the movie with my mom (yes, she, too, is a Foster's fan! XD) and we both liked it a lot (I think I loved it more than she did, though for some reason). I was very pleased with it-there were very many sweet moments that were found throughout it, as I said before. :)

PG13, huh? I'd actually rate it PG for those elements-I didn't think they were necessarily that bad, but that's just me (although the scene where Wilt got his eye and arm damaged MIGHT disturb some very small children). :P

Call me stupid, but I so didn't see Nina being Ed's creator coming! AND IT WAS SO CUTE!!! "Banditos es de muertos!! Muertos!!" 8D

Yes, Nina and Ed were so adorable together! I'd personally love to see them together again sometime...maybe have Nina visit Foster's to see Eduardo in one of the later episodes? That would be sweet. 8-)

Yeah, that was one of the most touching moments in the whole movie-That little friend was one of the cutest ones I've ever seen! Aww!

Besides, it's not like she was HAPPY about going home.

I agree with you. I'm sure she wouldn't have left because she was giving up. It's not in her nature to do that, simple as that. After all, she WAS the one in charge, just as you said-she had to do the most sensible thing for everyone considering she was the "leader" of this search. ;)

Yeah, I know! I guess it's because we're so used to seeing him with one arm and one good eye, though, so of course it'd seem a bit weird to see him with two arms and two good eyes. ;)

"Don't worry, he doesn't know of your life of crime!" x3 Plus, Bloo going Goo at the end was awesome. :gooblab:

Yeah, I couldn't help but giggle at Bloo at times. His insane ideas were so hilarious, especially the Godzilla one! :D

Yup, I don't like Larry all that much, either. He's a cheater and a jerk, 'nuff said.

Yeah, that scene truly touched me, especially since Wilt knew his purpose in life was to be a good friend and a hero to other little children, so he decided to stay at Foster's for that very reason. It was easily the most touching part in the whole movie for me. :)

They were the best credits to me, too, for the same reasons. :bloogrin

I really loved this movie, though, just as I said earlier. I will even go as far as saying that it's possibly (for me) the best episode of Foster's I've ever seen (yeah, it was technically a movie, but I'm just comparing it to some of the other episodes, namely House of Bloo's, the other Foster's TV movie and the pilot episode. :))

LaBlooGirl 11-24-2006 02:05 PM

Okay slight disappointment with Wilt's wonky eye being explained as it was.....that was kinda like, "Yeah right." But....it is a cartoon and so in that sense it was a good way to get around anything too graphic.


OW. WILT'S ARM WAS CRUSHED. OW. ::winces thinking about it:: I think that's worse then having an arm just clean cut off by a blade or something. I mean his arm looked like an accordian.
Poor Wiltie. :(
I rather liked the basketball-headed dude up until I actually saw this movie and saw him tossing Wilt around like a ragdoll. I mean cheating doesn't even come CLOSE to describing Larry. (Is that a pun on Larry Bird? FOUL Larry=FOWL=BIRD? lol) He has no natural talent against Wilt (who is clearly far superior in the game) and uses every dirty means possible to win. But then again, he WAS created that way! So I can't hate him completely. He seemed nice enough in the end, as if when you take him out of the court he's really not so bad. And I loved his voice. :P

Hey anybody notice all bad guys seem to have crooked teeth? Terrence, Mac's bullies at school...now Larry...coincedence? Hm, think not.

Well this movie was wonderful. It was done in a very expertly crafted way and I thought the only thing it lacked was a little more about Coco's past, though for all we know it could show up in another special or even a regular episode.
Ed sure got a lot of screen-time, it was like a 2nd story going on.^_^ His creator Nina was great and they explained every aspect of Ed, even down to why he acts a little girly sometimes. It all makes sense now! He IS a fierce protector, but also has a soft side so he could toughen up Nina, causing her to try and protect HIM. That was a very well done concept, I loved it.

Watching Wilt be so selfless like that and help the cute IF find her home, as well as help the old farmer who could barely move, and then lawn EVERYONE'S yard (causing him good standing with the local judge! LOL That was another golden scene) was really funny and heartwarming at the same time. I kept thinking of scary_dream's avatar and it just made me laugh harder! 8D

Frankie got some good screen time, and I admire her for her patience! Poor Bloo gets whacked around by that woman often, doesn't he? "GET IN THE BACK!" ::WHAM:: Then again, he puts it on himself, but at the same time, he never learns from it either. :jk:

I have to say that as far as I can tell (unless I didnt' catch it on here) nobody mentioned the fact of Jordan being rich. Obviously, Wilt didn't fail even MORE because Jordan's success shows how much Wilt helped him reach his dreams after all! I hope Wilt does get to see Jordan's mansion and maybe even visit with him for periods at a time. Well one thing is for sure, we know Jordan will be coming to the next Creator Picnic. :)

Great movie. I only watched it once, I'm off to see it again while eating my Japanese bento box for dinner. (California rolls, chicken teriyaki...YUM!)

And so my expected long post is done. :P

Voxxyn 11-24-2006 02:12 PM

Larry was genuinely apologetic and sorry at the end DESPITE the fact he beat Wilt in the rematch and didn't suffer any consequences from his blatant cheating. Give him credit for that, at least. I went "awww!" when Frankie comforted him at the end.

A B for this one. It was awesome as an episode, Ed and Nina were adorable, the whole story was amazing... really, I can't explain! It just feels like a B, though it's gonna be my favourite now. It's a werid feeling this one gives me...
Probably you're gonna kill me. I feel... sad... I wanna cry... cry myself to sleep... I can't say more now.

Oh yeah, Frankie's actions were totally understandable. I used to work with children, and would frequently have to drive a van around in 90 degree heat filled with a dozen kids (none of whom smelled very nice, if you know what I mean) who were all singing at the top of their surprisingly powerful little lungs. At least Frankie got to yell at everyone to shut up. I couldn't even do that...against regulations and all. :scaryberry:

Oh YEAH? Well I died a million times INFINITY... :P
(Okay that was lame, sorry...)

Bloo might not have had a lot of scenes, but he did have some of the greatest moments when he was in the spotlight....like....

blabbing on like Goo (as was already pointed out) and slowing down long enough only to say, "PRIVATE LEAR JET!!!"

8D

I wuff Bwoo. I wanna cwuddle him to itsy bitsy pieces cause he's jwust to dwarn cuuuuuuuuteeeee...
