Good Wilt Hunting Movie Discussion 11/23/06

[DoubleLatte]

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]

Dude, I still love Space Jam! 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).

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!!"

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.

Yeah, they were pretty amusing at times, especially when it came to their love for Frankie.

Yeah, for some reason I thought the very same thing at first.

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.

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

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]

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.

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!

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.

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.

[Voxxyn]

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.

That's what I've been saying!

[Fomalhaut]

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.

After that scene, we get to see many moments showing Frankie's genuine concern and worry about Wilt missing, which made me happy.

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.

6. Bloo, where are yoooouuuu?! He didn't do much here in general, much less with Mac. Darn.

Oh YEAH? Well I died a million times INFINITY...
(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!!!"



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