Goo is the best teacher ever...at teaching to talk five times fast. :P
I just watched it again & are Douglas/Aam brothers they were talking weird. I'm glad Wilt's creator wasn't dead & was rich & missed Wilt,he also said Wilt was his best friend. This was the most heart-warming episode ever!

"We heard they were shooting comertials in Japan so we went there and you weren't there, so we asked Jordan and he was all "no" and we were like "yes" and he was all "No he hates me. He got hurt and I looked for him everywhere but he ran away" and then we were all "aww" and then we got all the way over here in his PRIVATE LEAR JET! Reeeeaaaar, reeeaaar, wooooooop!"

I think he said this, REALLY fast, but I'm not exactly sure if this is exact wording. I know CG'll correct me. XDD

LMAO! Sorry, that distinction goes to 2001: A Space Odyssey. ;D

Probably not. But at least he doesn't have to feel guilty about losing his Creator's game anymore.

Wilt will still be Wilt as all the others will still be who they are.

On TV only yes, out of all movies no.There's about 14 ones better IMHO.

Don't be a killjoy. :3 Let the kid have her fun. Besides, as far as television movies go, this was one of the best I've seen out there.

Yah! It's my favorite too! Sure, there are ones with better plot, better graphics/effects, all that stuff...But THIS is the only movie that I have ever REALLY obsessed over seeing. I STARTED AN HOUR COUNTDOWN AT 48 HOURS. xD I totally bugged my friends and family. Some took it in good nature and let me indulge. "Hey Shell, how much longer now?" Others...I recieved a roll of the eyes and a sigh...Mostly from my Mom. x3 She said nothing for the first two days, but after I started running around the house screaming, "7 MORE HOURS AND ALL IS WEEEEELLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!" She said things like, "You're setting yourself up for disappointment. What if it's not as good as you're hoping?" Yeah, but only I had no expectations! Not seeing previews, now talking about theories, it made the last few weeks a lot more tolerable, AND I even told myself that we may not even see what happens to Wilt, we may never know...So after I saw it, I WAS BLOWN OFF MY SEAT.

I said it was the best TV movie.:cheese:

Well, yeah, that's fairly obvious...=P

Plus the scene near the beginning where he wakes up and is all groggy and his face just makes me lol. I'm kinda surprised he didn't just go back to sleep, but hey, they needed him for the plot.

And did ya'll notice the faces he was making in the bus when Mac and Frankie are talking to Sarah's Mom? xD I didnt notice until the second or third time I watched it. =P *has watched it 4 times*

Edited post, 'cause I'm sorry just incase I was wrong.

*waits for...CERTAIN...people to begin having a serious discussion with you*

Eh, it was a joke. But still who dosen't think this was the best TV movie here? ???
No one probally, I could be wrong & if so sorry....it was a joke.

I don't. I gave it a B. Had it lived up to all the hype it received and been better than House Of Bloo's I'd have given it an A. From my point of view GWH did neither, though in all fairness those were two extremely difficult goals to reach. Don't get me wrong here; I enjoyed the movie immensely and got a lot out of it. But for me, it was not the movie event of the year.

Why I changed my first post. *acts nervously*
House of Bloo's is a little boring now, I've seen it to many times now. Sorta sad.

lol did anyone notice?

I just found that ODD :D isnt that the re-animated bear(?) ?

Don't know 'bout the bear, as I haven't seen Re-Animated, but that IS Jordan, and this is an obvious reference to Space Jam. Love those in-jokes-Craig and Co. really are in the same league with the folks at Pixar when it comes to those!

Can you imagine what a torment it's been all these years for Wilt, being literally bombarded with images of his now-grownup boy, KNOWING that's who it is, yet unable to bring himself to even TELL anyone?

pitbulllady

Great movie. It was great to see Wilt's past. But I always got annoyed whenSpoiler Below

B from me.

LMAO at the Space Jam thing. I need to watch that movie more often....oh, and the the animal is a gopher, not a bear.

When a friend wants to show another friend how much they care, they might send them a present or a card. When the creators of a popular animated series want to show their fanbase how much they care...they send them a movie just like this.

After all the hype and speculation after all the things that have already been said about this movie for lord knows how many pages. I give my thoughts about Good Wilt Hunting in a very simple statement....

GWH perfectly sums up everything I like about this show. A potent mixture of laugh out loud comedy and heartwarming tug at your heart strings scenes.

A all the Way!

That IS the Re-Animated bear, I believe.

It is but it looks like a chipmunk than a bear.

The bear didn't have buck teeth at all. Gophers do.

Scary Dream, I love your avatar! LOL!

I just have to say that I adore this movie! I loved Ed and Nina! They were just so CUTE!
Yeah, I'm wondering too, how on earth is Mac so slick to leave the house for days (only a weekend? yeah right) and go all over the world without his mom and Terrance knowing? Mabe his mom works weekends?? Mmmmm....
Has anyone ever thought that the name Jordan Micheals is kinda a spoof off of the name Micheal Jordan, only backwards adding an s?
There are so many things I'd love to say about the movie but I'm too lazy to do it. But I give an an A and a thousand plusses!

And I have to say, Craig and Lauren have outdone themselves, including the crew and ect. Thank you to Craig and co. for making us a beautiful film.

EDIT: Oh and I forgot to add, I too noticed that Peach spoof of Apple sign on that back of that guy's notebook. I thought that was a computer? Eh well.

I thought that too.

This is the best tv movie I have seen yet.

Okay I might be stupid, but how is Wilt so cheerful after having lived with all that guilt for 30 years?

That movie was awesome! I loved Wilt in it *huggles*

I'm so glad they showed this two days after they showed it in America!!! I never thought it would be in the UK so soon. I found out a couple of days ago and all I could think about at school was GWH, GWH, GWH... and now I've seen it!:D

I gave it an A grade. It was wonderfully written, the perfect balance of funny moments and touching moments and it was great to finally find out so much about Wilt's background. In fact I was so touched by it all that I almost cried, but that might just be because I'm an emotional person lol.^^; Even my mum felt incredibly touched by Wilt's story and I would hardly call her a massive Foster's fan. I think she's fallen in love with Wilt now to be honest!

It also touched something inside of me, because it might not be in the same context and I certainly didn't get physically injured by it, but I too felt like I had let down a good friend a few years back when she most needed me and I still feel a little guilty even today. Still, I can't imagine how Wilt has been coping for such a long time with such a heavy burden on him!:wiltshock:

The relationship between Eduardo and Nina was adorable too! It was great to see the friends with their creators.^^

Yay! We got to see it this morning. Very impressed obviously, what more is there to say? Lots of humour and brilliant new characters. Wilt was waiting a long time for this in all respects and he came out of it an even bigger character. Speaking as one who mows stripes on big lawns , I tell you he did us proud on that ride-on mower. Varying the angles too - nice touch!

Obviously a bit thin on Madam Foster and Mr. Harriman but us old folks need a rest now and again. The Coco moments raised way more questions than they answered; I'm sure there's all sorts of Science Fiction possibilities there.

What occurred to me 5 minutes after it finished was that there's been these questions in the back of my mind for over a year now I guess and now that's over it kind of feels like the end of something which is a bit sad but also means something else is beginning.

I didn't notice at the first couple of times, but later on, now I did!:D

I really like "Space Jam"! A mix of basketball, aliens, and the Looney Toons!:D You gotta admit, though, it's the weirdest plot that I know that I like! Very comeic, as usual.;)

I remember in Jimmy/Timmy 3, Jimmy Neutron had a Peach laptop too...

Lots of cartoons have spoofed Mac computers with different fruits, and pears are the most common. I remember the peach in Jimmy Neutron, but my favorite was a banana. I forget what cartoon that was though.

Then, of course there was the pineapple one on Digimon. That one had me on the floor...8D

I KNOW!

Spoiler Below

Should I give on using spoilers? xD

Sorry if I'm going off topic here, guys, but it got me thinking, what exactly did happen in the "8-year-gap" that CG mentioned?

I assume he probably did as much help as he could to other people before coming to Foster's, much like he did in the film on the way back to meet Larry for his rematch. And during that time, he would probably have been cemented as a sort of legend, like that judge mentioned.

This idea of Wilt becoming a sort of urban legend during that time reminds me of a book I once read called "Maniac Magee". It was about a boy called Jeffrey Magee, who, after his parents die in a trestle accident, is sent to his loathsome aunt and uncle who, because they are Catholic, can't divorce, and try to split the house in two (two toasters, two TV's, etc.) and try to have Jeffrey for themselves. During a school play eight years later, he runs away (after which we are told that noone knows what happened to him during a year-long gap).

After this period, he arrives in the town of Two Mills, a town so racially segrigated that one side of the town, called the West Side, is reserved entirly for White people and the opposite side, the East Side, reserved for Black people. He meets up with a black family, and moves in with them, much to their supprise. During their time with them, he performs amazing feats such as running on a rail and untieing a knot that noone else in the town could untie, causing him to become an urban legend and be known as "Maniac Magee".

I'll continue the story if you guys want, but what I'm saying is that during the time after he left Jordan and before the time he came to Foster's, maybe he helped out people so much that too became an urban legend?

:wiltshock:

I missed the movie this morning!!!!!

:'(

If you go by the photo album of Annual Foster's Photos from "The Big Picture", Wilt showed up at Foster's 22 years ago, two years after Madame Foster opened her home to unwanted/lost Imaginary Friends. HOWEVER, we learn that the incident in which Wilt was injured by Larry, and separated from Jordan, took place 30 years ago, according to Larry, anyway. This leaves a period of eight years in between, so the question is, what happened to Wilt during that time. Obviously, he would have spent some of it in a hospital, after having his left arm amputated, and perhaps some sort of rehab facility, where he would have learned how to cope with just one arm and one functioning eye, but no rehab center is going to keep someone for eight years, so he had to have done something to survive during that time. We don't know if he made his own way out West to where Foster's is located and found the place on his own, or if someone eventually took him there, or paid his way to get there.

Wilt's "legend" status took place during the movie, as he made his way cross-country on that rusty old lawnmower, NOT during that eight-year-period between him being injured and arriving at Foster's. It was a joke, really, him being considered a "legend" by the people of the small town(where obviously there were no lawnmowers or lawn-care specialists)because he, being Wilt, felt he needed to help out by annonymously cutting the grass for everyone, a good deed that the judge felt needed rewarding by releasing Wilt and dropping the charges against him. His status as a "legend" was in that little town only, and due solely to that one incident. There's nothing in the judge's speech to indicate he'd heard of Wilt except because of that. He even refers to Wilt as "The Lawn Ranger"!

As much as I'd like to believe that, I don't really think he would have been in a rehab centre. It appears, to me at least, Imaginaries aren't exactly looked upon like living beings with feelings, emotions or anything like that. Just look at how they kept poor Floofy Woogums in the 'Lost and Found' section. AND how in Emancipation Complication both Lil' Lincoln and Moose were confiscated from their children as if they were yoyos or dirty magazines never to be returned to them again. Maybe he would have been lucky to get into a hospital to get it removed, sure; but I don't think they'd allow him into a rehabilitation centre. I'm sure you have a strong case arguing against what I just said, but that's what it's appeared to me through my viewings of Foster's. Imaginaries just don't seem to have the same 'rights' as humans do. Kind of like second-class citizens. No matter how great and wonderful Wilt is, I'm not saying he isn't, he is still an Imaginary and I don't see people going to pay how much it cost for not only to have your arm amputated but also a rehab stay. If he did find someone who'd pay for all of that, why wouldn't that person let him stay with him or her? That's pretty much like taking him in as your own Imaginary. But still, Wilt appears in Foster's 8 years after his incident arm free; at least from the photo. I know you brought up in the chat that with an arm that injured infection would have set in years before he arrived in Foster's; but what if he just out right refused help all through those years? He might have been in excruciating pain but just never wanted someone to take pity on such a loser as he is (at least that's how he felt). For all we know he could have lived with that arm for years, and when Madame Foster either found him, or he wound up on the doorstep of Foster's, she's the one who had the arm finally removed. Despite his probable arguments that no, he doesn't deserve it.

But that's just me.

I know that Imaginaries aren't thought of in the same way as humans, but this is one of the inconsistencies of the show. Wilt has been arrested, and in the movie, he was actually brought to trial(or at least, a preliminary hearing), which seems to indicate that somebody, at least, in some places, acknowledges some sort of rights for Imaginaries. If he was fortunate enough to wind up in what we call a "welfare clinic", operated by the government, he might have at least been there long enough to recover.

As for the time-frame of the arm having to be removed, it would be very likely that infection/ necrosis(gangrene) would have set in fairly quickly, which is why crushing injuries are so serious. Injuries like that not only can break bones and disrupt blood flow, but also rupture individual cells, releasing their toxins into surrounding healthy tissues, poisoning it, since the blood supply is unable to carry it away. Most crush injuries to limbs result in amputation, even if the bone isn't broken, for that reason. Doctors are afraid to take a chance of the person dying just to try and save an arm or leg. Swelling in the non-elastic fascia, or connective tissue between muscles and bones, also further compromises blood flow. There's no way that Wilt would have survived for eight years with a necrotic limb. It probably wasn't too long after he received the injury, and left the scene that he would have started to become severely ill, not just from pain. He might have had to go it without any sort of rehab(and Wilt is just the sort to succede by sheer willpower alone), but he wouldn't have lasted long without some heavy-duty medical treatment and surgury following that incident.

Has anyone heard of the movie titled "The Straight Story"? It was a movie about an old man who rides a lawnmower (Like Wilt does) cross-country to vist his terminially ill brother.
Unlike Wilt he gets much further.
The old man also performs some good deeds like Wilt and helps people learn stuff about themselves.
