That bothers me on it's own. But considering my feelings toward Frankie, it becomes ESPECIALLY hurtful.

I was, of course, referencing how Frankie deals with ANY overzealous suitors, including Prince Charming. Those two guys might not make a move on her at all, but it was certainly implied that at some point, at least one of them WILL, seeing as how they view her. Frankie's way of handling guys who are too foreward has nothing to do with the sort of guys that they are, seeing as how Prince Charming and Dylan Lee were about as different, personality-wise, as any two guys can get, but both discovered the same hard way that Francis Foster is no delicate little flower.

Hey, no hard feelings (if I'm included in this, which I'll assume I am just to be safe) -- I'm the biggest geek/nerd I know. I'm lovin' me some nerdy/geeky awesomeness. Especially since they're H2G2 references. They seem to be doing that a lot lately.

Frankie seems unaware that they're going gaga over her, or at least she does to me. She just seems weirded out that they're acting so peculiarly.

Voxxyn 11-07-2006 01:41 PM

Prince Charming hauled Frankie to the restaurant's restroom AGAINST HER WILL, and who knows what his twisted mind would've done had she not retaliated. And remember that he actually punched that elderly waiter, so Frankie punching him was more or less instant karma.

Dylan and Prince both learned the same hard way despite being different people, that's true. But which one of these was seen hanging out in the living room with Frankie and the others in the final scene of the episode? Aside the fact that Prince basically lives at Foster's, he and Frankie seemed to be on very good terms. I think that has to do with his personality being nowhere near as unpleasant as Dylan's.

Judging from the ads and clip, I don't think these geek characters be Dylan-ish at all. Even if one of them DOES get some sort of bruise from getting too up-close with Frankie, I would think their final interaction/farewell would be positive instead of negative.

When Bloo says that Wilt's creator sounds like a jerk, he may be onto something! Bloo might be right this time.

Wilt looks so cute when he looks sad, (cue the one hour "AWWW" session) especially when he had his head down, that reminds me of me when I walk, I hardly ever look foward, I usually look down at my shoes. XDD

He looked like he was so left out because, as he looked out the window of his shared room, everyone looks all happy and having fun, not having a care in the world. As for Wilt, he looks left out...poor guy. I, myself, feel left out, like no one sees that I am even there, acknowledging my "left outness" at times, so I know how he feels about THAT. This feeling, my friends, is NOT awesome to feel.

Being left out...only because a certain someone doesn't show up to see a certain imaginary friend...AGAIN.

Invader Bloo 11-07-2006 02:50 PM

I REEEEEEALLY hate this commercial because it makes me want to see it MORE!:D :(

antgirl1 11-07-2006 03:15 PM

But how can anyone hate the ADs? XDD

Kzinistzerg 11-07-2006 03:18 PM

It invokes impatience.

Maaaannn, I'm about to adopt Switch's habit of gnawing on desks...

YES!

I dunno about you guys, but I think *the* Frankie is way better than sexy Frankie. Sorry, but I found sexy Frankie a bit scary. Funny, but nevertheless scary.

And thanks to pitbulllady, I can re-identify myself, not as a nerd, but as a geek. Geek pride, everyone!

It's not in her nature. :frankiesmile:

I, too, agree with this statement. I don't think it's in Frankie's nature to give a good ol' beating to someone just for the heck of it. ;) She usually has to be REALLY provoked before that happens (the incident with Dylan was a perfect example, just as others have mentioned. I can't help but say that he had it coming to him-I mean, if I were in Frankie's shoes at that point I might have even done the same thing! XD He was dissing her friends and that's never cool).

And as for the "nerd" "geek" thing I've always thought of myself as a nerd even though most people don't really think I am one for some reason. I DO like to analyze things a lot-it's just in my nature. I'm constantly interested in learning new things about characters, shows, just anything! But like I always say, I'm a nerd and I'm DANG proud of it! *pumps fist in the air* XD So I don't use it in an offensive manner, either, because I take pride in it. XP

kaytea 11-08-2006 06:00 AM

okay heres my dumb idea

what if the guy with the basketball head is wilts creator but just in a costume

perhaps wilt and his creator got into a fight about who is the better basketball player
and they still haven't go over it so thats why his creator never comes so perhaps wilt is going off to settle it once and for all


or the basketball guy could just be another imaginary friend like everyone else has said

Invader Bloo 11-08-2006 06:34 AM

Thanks Cassini for posting the You tube link! :D
That makes me more impatient! "Dream" Frankie is even hotter than regular Frankie, even in the "Frankie My Dear" dresses.

She's very hot, there's no denying that, but it's heat without warmth, if that makes any sense. Gorgeous, yes, but there's no topping the original. :frankiesmile:

I'm glad everyone enjoyed the video. :)

No doubt about it!:D Now I will have to wait for the movie premire.:(

Well, won't be long now, so mom had better teach me how to scan drawings to the internet before the week before GWH, so I can do each drawing for each day it gets closer throughout the week until it come.:P

Cassini90125 11-08-2006 04:16 PM

Okay, who wants to rewrite "The 12 Days Of Christmas" as "The 12 Days Before GWH"? :D

Too many syllables. :'(

Medikor 11-08-2006 05:34 PM

I have to agree with, Cassini. Only I get kinda turned-off by that image of, Frankie. It looks way too trashy to me. I prefer, Frankie's normal look (who dosant?).

antgirl1 11-08-2006 05:50 PM

How about "The 12 days of Foster's?" XD

Medikor 11-08-2006 06:24 PM

I'm REALLY looking forward to this episode. It looks like, Frankie and, Coco will get some great screne-time.:D

Sims Katie 11-09-2006 06:22 PM

Was anyone else thinking "Dexter and Mandark" when they saw the nerds? I loved the big 42 shirt 8D
You know, maybe they'd have some answers to their questions if they let Coco get a word in now and then?

It could be... it's the best guess to me.

LaBlooGirl 11-11-2006 04:20 PM

I think someone may have already gone over it, but Wilt says, "I did something terrible and its time to set things straight." (I'm paraphrasing not sure he said it exactly like that.)

What terrible thing could Wilt have done? This makes me go with PBL's ganster theory even more....I wonder if Wilt was even a gang leader and got into some real troublesome situations.
I am SO wanting to see this episode to levels of craziness! lol

DGenerationX 11-11-2006 05:01 PM

YES
 
:cheese: I saw it too
so sad, yet somehow funny:cheese:

lucyrocks73 11-11-2006 06:01 PM

I was cracking up during play practice today. Y'see, we were blocking the dance for "Status Quo" (we're doing High School Musical), and the girl who plays Martha Cox (the hiphop girl?) was showing us her dance moves.

One was called "the lawnmower".

I laughed hysterically, because I saw Wilt driving a lawn mower in the back of my mind.

Invader Bloo 11-11-2006 06:39 PM

I NEVER want to see Wilt as a gangster, I see enough of that at school.:(
OT, but how do you double quote.

I see plenty of it at school, too, which is exactly WHY I got such a strong "East Side vs. West Side" feel from that face-off clip from Good Wilt Hunting. Many of my students whe ARE gang members have even speculated that Wilt could have been an "O-G", or "Old Gangsta", a term for a gang leader, in the past. While is is not pleasant to think of at all, it would indeed account for Wilt's eagerness to be helpful, and his deep-seated fear of upsetting others and being cast out yet-again, as trying to attone for some horrific thing(s) he's done in his past. As difficult as it is to think of, an abandoned Imaginary Friend, desparate to belong to someone, would be perfect gang recruit fodder, especially one with Wilt's athletic abilities and strength, and his height. Wilt does have a natural leadership ability and has shown that he is perfectly capable of taking charge of a situation(as he does in "Blooooooo"), and he's very charismatic, so it would almost be a natural progression for him to eventually rise to a position of importance and status. While Wilt seems so nice and sweet now, as CG has speculated in her fanart piece, this might not have always been the case. He could very well have been a real male offspring of a female dog at one point, if you know what I mean, and if pushed into a situation where he had to join a gang to survive on the streets, like many humans, he'd probably take that route.

Invader Bloo 11-11-2006 07:32 PM

It'd make sense Wilt be a leader when you have a group made up of a fraidy cat, a person who dosen't care & is a jerk, a person who's sort of nuts (We could kill him 8D ) & a kid. Plus sometimes a blabby girl & a retard.

antgirl1 11-11-2006 10:00 PM

In my opinion, if Wilt was in any way in a gang in any way, I think I'd DIE. X.x;;

Well don't worry, Antgirl, keep in mind we could be totally wrong about the gangster thing. It is a THEORY, after all. lol

pitbulllady 11-13-2006 06:56 AM

Think about it, though, people-who is more believable and respectable, someone who has always been a perfect "Goody Two-Shoes", always having done the right thing, or a person who has managed to turn their own life around for the better, making a choice to to stop doing what is wrong and using their talents and abilities now to HELP others? Who would you figure would be more respectable, especially for kids who might themselves be involved with not-so-nice things? Someone who's always been perfect is not believable, even in an animated character, because no real person is like that. Someone who's made some really bad mistakes in the past, and is now working to change that, is a much better role model because what they say and do now has more credence to it. A kid who is toying with the notion of joining a gang can look at someone who's never done anything wrong, and just think, "Yeah, right! What a wuss!", but if they know that this person has struggled with the same issues that they themselves now face, and overcome them, that makes the redeemed character much more "solid" and respectable, and a better example. I know that I cannot have much respect for someone who's telling me how to do things and live MY life, when I know that they have not had to face the same issues that I have, but if I know that they've been through what I am going through, and overcome it, what they now say and do has more meaning for me, personally.

MEGA SPOILER
 
EDIT: See #161.

CCMars 11-13-2006 09:28 AM

I saw it too. I'm a little disappointed as to who the creator is, but this honestly makes me even more excited for the movie.

EDIT: And it's not that much of a spoiler. It's nothing to panic over, so calm down. (Then again I'm immune to spoilers, so that could just be me. *laughs* )

with a pre-incident Wilt.
His creator's name is Jordan Michaels.


Please, warn people to STAY AWAY from

turnerinfo.com press site.


PLEASE.

Wow, that was interesting.

Spoiler Below
I had this REAL strong suspiction the kid was black...I was right! Wow. Kinda creepy and cool at the same time. Of course, that IS Wilt's creator as a young kid, not fully grown, and that IS Wilt BEFORE his incident, so we're not sure of all that happened yet, meaning it isn't that much of a spoiler. I'm not sure why those pics are there either, but unless someone specifically knows of it, LIKE YOU POINTING IT OUT, it's not such a big deal. :P I for one still have a zillion questions and can't wait to see the whole thing. And Aw...Ed looks so cute hugging his creator. ^_^

TheLH 11-13-2006 10:14 AM

Maybe so, but considering the amount of fangirl-ish hype that certain people are exhibiting (Don't worry, I won't mention any names) around this movie, and Wilt in general, I believe it's best that I keep it under wraps for them. :D

EDIT: You must be psychic or something PBL:

Spoiler Below
Beacuse Wilt did lose his arm, weither by accident or otherwise!


PBL: 1
My (not quite) Common Sence: 0

But I kinda knew that, it never did occur to me Wilt was just created that way.....I think very few actually thought he was.

C'mon, guys, let's not reveal too many plot details, okay? :(

I remember using spoiler quotes!

pitbulllady 11-13-2006 10:42 AM

I'm not bothered by the spoiler at all; if anything, it RAISES more questions than it answers. So, now at least we do know that Wilt DID have a human creator, but what we do not know is what happened to "(name removed)", or why he abandoned Wilt, or IF he abandoned Wilt, since there are many ways they could have been separated. We still don't know what this "terrible thing" is that Wilt did, or what it has to do with his creator, if it has anything at all to do with him. We do not know WHERE Wilt spent his early years, though it does appear to have been in a large city. We do not know what, if anything, that Basketball-headed Dude has to do with Wilt's creator, and just what the relationship between him and Wilt is, only that it does not appear to be a friendly one. We learned that Wilt WAS NOT(and this should not come as a surprise, honestly, since the evidence has always pointed to Wilt having been injured), once and for all, imagined with one eye and one arm and a scarred-up face; SOMETHING happened to him, though the biggest question still remains: WHAT?? Do Wilt's injuries have anything to do with the Basketball-headed Dude and that pack of Imaingary Friends(or whatever they are) on the other side of the fence, or anything to do with his creator, or something completely unrelated? I'm looking forward to this movie nwo more than ever, if anything!

girl_named_goo 11-13-2006 10:50 AM

AAAUUUGHH!!! We begged and begged and begged to not have that information leaked!! If you haven't already, DON'T read the previous spoilers, you're totally ruining it for yourselves!!

ThLH- please put
Spoiler Below
"pre-incident Wilt"

in spoiler quotes. That was supposed to be a suprise.

PBL- please put
Spoiler Below
Jordan Michaels

in spoiler quotes as well. I mean, it's totally the ending of the story.

I'm totally bummed CN put any of that stuff up on their site. :'(
