It's not going to be great quality (especially the sound) but I am working on creating a .wmv of this clip right now. I'll upload it asap, but remember, my computer sucks (and my new one's not ready to be used yet).

edit: I spoke too soon. My CRAPPY computer absolutely refuses to process the file, and my new one won't even open it for some reason. So I'm stuck. Maybe my brother will fix it for me later tonight.

OMG! I just watched it! So Wilt DID do something terrible(in his opinion, anyway) in his past! I would guess it has something to do with that basketball-headed dude, since Wilt was definately drawing up a scratch line over the phone! If THAT wasn't a challenge, I don't know what is! Still, it might not have anything to do with Wilt's creator, which brings me to a topic that one of my students brought up this morning. You see, they know I'm a major Wilt fan, since I've got a handpainted Wilt polo shirt, I've got that Wilt statue on my dashboard, a picture of Wilt on the back of my staff ID tag, etc., etc. Some of them have seen the ads for GWH, and figured they could impress the mean ole' Art teacher by bringing it up in class. One kid, though, had a rather novel idea: what if Wilt is NOT an Imaginary Friend, after all, but a REAL monster who'se either been intentionally impersonating an Imaginary Friend all these years, OR (following the "Amnesia-after-head-trauma" theory)does not know himself that he's not an Imaginary Friend, having had his original memories replaced by the notion that he's an Imaginary Friend, with a human creator, somewhere? I know it sounds far-fetched, but it made me recall Mr. Marshmallow's idea for a fanfic, in which a monster comes to live at Foster's, and is mistaken for an Imaginary Friend. That might explain why Wilt was so nervous(understatement warning)when asked about his creator.

Yeah, I know that is just the ramblings of a geeky fifth grader(although unlike the geeks who studies Coco, he prefers to be called a nerd), but it sure got MY brain cells going at 8:00 am, something even my second cup of black coffee hadn't managed.

Spoiler Below

I DON'T think it was Wilt's creator that he was talking to on the phone, although we are probably supposed to think so from that scene. It most likely WAS that basketball-headed dude, since Wilt was clearly issuing a challenge to SOMEBODY, calling someone out, as it were, and it certainly looks as though there will be a quite nasty showdown between him and Mr. Basketball Head. From Wilt's tone, I seriously doubt it was anyone he cares about, that's for sure.

I know that Wilt has not discussed his creator on the show, but then again, that topic has never come up, until now. Still, though, it seems odd that Wilt should be THAT evasive about discussing it. If he does not know who created him, why not just say so? I mean, it's not like it will change any of the others' opinions of him in the least. It also would not make sense to be that neurotic just because his creator didn't show up-again. I can understand him having his feelings hurt, and I know that Wilt is a typical adult male who has issues with discussing his feelings with others, but GEESH! It would make more sense, if that were the case, to simply shrug it off like he does pretty much everything else, at least publicly. SOMETHING is just very odd about that whole thing. I guess we'll just have to wait, to see if indeed Wilt ever had a creator, and just what Mr. Basketball Head has to do with that creator(if anything at all)and why Wilt has such a grudge with this guy.

Speaking of conflicts, anybody wanna place bets on which one of those two geeks Frankie's gonna wind up giving a bloody nose to first?

pitbulllady

The nerds

are named

DOUGLAS

and

ADAM

*DIES.*

Just saw the preview on CN.com and yes that is the greatest thing ever!

...LOL! I LOVE IT!

We have Mac acting like Mac, Bloo acting Like Bloo... No Goo with piles of imaginary friends, though. That's really great!

And I LOVE the ultra-frankie scene, hehe...

Has anyone else noticed the fat nerd is pretty much the comic book man from Simpsons?

MAN, that totally slipped by me-SHAME on me! I DID catch the big "42" on the fat red-headed guy's shirt, though. When they gave their names, I was thinking in terms of "Jamie" and "Adam" on "Mythbusters"!

Next thing you know we'll find out that Wilt is really a roving researcher for that wholly remarkable book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, who was only supposed to be staying on Earth for one week, and wound up being stranded for 22+ years.

pitbulllady

Whoa you're like totally reading my mind, when I ever dream cast HGTTG with Foster's character's I always picture Wilt as Ford Prefect. :D

(*cracks up*)

I think the redhead dude (Adam, I think?) is going to get slugged first.

It's fun to watch redheads interact. They get rowdy sometimes (I know from experience...). No offense to any redheads out there (my hair has got a tinge of red in it... an auburnish color)...

Ha.

I CAN'T WAIT!!!

(*dies*)

-Marty :goo:

And I'm guessing Bloo is Zaphod. I mean, who else could Bloo be?

Also, is anyone planning to upload this to Youtube? It won't let me watch the whole thing. I want to see ComicallyExaggerated!Frankie...

Douglas and Adam. And 42. Awww. . . Craig certainly knows when to tip his hat to a great writer. I love the Hitchhiker's series of novels, I watched the tv series, and saw the movie. Great to know there's nods to it in Foster's even more then just Arthur Dent as he appeared in Bus the two of us.

If someone doesn't beat me to it I may be able to upload it. I finally got my new laptop working (but I had to install Norton and now I have to wait for a full system scan...). So if the clip is still needed when I am able to actually do media work, I'll do it.

However, I can show you ComicallyExaggerated!Frankie:

*wolf whistle* =P

Wow, nerds really DO have enhanced vision of women! Lookit those lips, those eyes, even her chest seems to have changed! Amazing what hormones'll do.

No, what'll CASSINI think of this??! XDDDD

And, if Wilt holds such a grudge against this basketball headed dude, why would he just give him a call? AT 11:00 PM at NIGHT? It seems really off, when we thought just a few minutes ago that this was Wilt's creator we were talking about.

Seriously, who'd want to give YOUR bitter rival a phone call late at night as if calling a friend? For a rival, most people wouldn't even WANT to be near, see, or even talk to that person.

Unless when Wilt meant that "I did something terrible," meant "I have a settle to score,", and that he thinks the basketball headed "IF" has won his creator over Wilt that could explain why the creator never shows up to see him, it doesn't make any sence to me.

WHY would a person call their bitter rival like that??

Very hot, incredibly beautiful, pure raw sex appeal, the kind of woman who raises the temperature of every room she enters with a single whisper... But I still like the original better. After all, that's the one I fell in love with. :frankiesmile:

You have to realize that highly-competitive people don't think like the rest of us. Wilt is, as I've said before, like a two-legged Pit Bull; he is MEANT for competition, to get down 'n dirty, and enjoy every second of it! For whatever reason, Wilt has harbored a grudge against that other someone on the phone, and called him up to call him OUT. He was clearly issuing a challenge, whether for a re-match of a previous game, or what. Rather than continue to avoid that individual, and live with the self-inflicted stigma of being a quitter, a coward or a "cur", Wilt is the type to openly confront his rival. Highly-competitive people don't AVOID such challenges and keep away from others that they don't like; they seek them out! Now, if *I* was going to call someone up to challenge them, in a not-so-friendly way(and there was clearly no love lost between Wilt and whoever was on the other line), what BETTER time to do so than late at night, since I would at least have the comfort of knowing I'd really bugged 'em good, and probably made 'em get out of a nice comfy bed just to answer the friggin' phone! You need to keep in mind, though, that Wilt now lives on the Pacific coast, on Pacific time, and it's likely that his rival lives in an entirely different time zone, and it probably isn't 11:00 pm where he is, but 2-3 hours earlier. Also, Wilt needed to keep his conversation and subsequent leaving a secret, so he had to act while the rest of the household was supposed to be sleeping.

Are you kidding? Jessica Rabbit isn't in the same league as Frankie. I always considered her pretty trashy.

But that's not the real Frankie. It's the lonely nerds' vision of her. :D

To pitbulllady: I guess questions are good - you learn a lot. XD But still, if it's been a LONG time ago, Wilt could've consitered a rematch a LONG time ago. Unless of course say if the "IF" had somehow won over Wilt's creator, and Wilt, probably thought when that happened, that his creator would rather hang out or something with that other IF that "stole" his rightful best friend than to visit Wilt every five years...Hmm...well, it'll probably be explained when we see the movie. Say...wasn't the other "IF" the one who issued the challange in the first place?

To kageri: LOL!!

Still miles ahead of JR. Maybe it's just me, but I've never really understood the appeal of women like her.

Hey lay off of Jessica Rabbit, she's not bad, she's just drawn that way. 8D

We don't know if the other IF issued a challenge at any point, since we've never even heard him/it speak, but Wilt was surely challenging SOMEBODY to SOMETHING...he even says, "it is ON", which means he's willingly jumping into a conflict. You can pick up that challenging tone in his voice.

pitbulllady

game, set, match

beautifully played my friend.

Be nice to me, I've had a very long day, mostly capturing this for our overseas friends:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nehQiCrEQU8

Sorry the quality isn't so great, but at least y'all can see and hear it.

Hooray for Cassini!

Also, I like how Wilt has the polka-dotted bag thingy on the end of the stick. Hee.

Sorry, I am a huge "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" fan, and I saw the opportunity to quote one of the lines from the film and I took it.

But what you are doing here (putting the GWH clip on Youtube) is a very valuable service for a lot of forum members, so you should be commended for that.. KUDOS. :D

8D Love that line.

Great clip. I don't really have too much to add, but I most certainly look forward to this movie.

Well what do you know! I'm a big fan of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" too!:D

Man, are Bloo and Mac eager to meet Wilt's creator! XDD Pestering him with questions.

I have to say this gets more interesting the more is revealed. That phone call was REALLY intriguing and makes us wonder about the mysterious Wilt even more!


Doesn't that remind you of somebody? Like the fans?? LOL

Yeah, it does, LOL! I will bet that this was exactly what the writers had in mind, too, especially after Bloo says, "Man, Wilt's creator must have been a real JERK!"

It was really neat to see and compare the many IF's with their creators, and see how the IF's either are total opposites of their creators, like Fluffer Nutter being created by that big tattooed biker dude, or near-mirrors of them, like Creaky Pete and his creator! It does go to show that you cannot make assumptions about an IF's creator based on what you see in the IF, though, doesn't it?

pitbulllady

I finally saw the second ad, and I like it!:D

Spoiler Below

:(

With all due respect, as someone who could be considered a geek and knows all too well of how it's like to be an outcast, I find that statement to be EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE and INSULTING.

If these geeks turn out to be shallow-minded jerks like Dylan, I won't have a problem if Frankie knocks their lights out cold. But seeing the potential nature of their role in the episode(i.e. possibly be the scientists that studied Coco), I really doubt it. I truly hope that this whole sideplot is handled in a respectful and classy way, and that no one's feelings end up getting undeservedly hurt. You guys might think it's just a joke... but it's something that I'm personally very sensitive about.

Since when did "Geek" become synnonymous with "outcast"? That's a new one one me, as someone who's been called BOTH more than once! A "Geek" is someone who's extremely intelligent, especially in one particular area, like technology or biology(my forte'), but does not fit within any fashion parameters of the day, and often seems to "march to a different drummer", so to speak. Here in the US, many people proudly proclaim themselves to be Geeks, and enjoy a rather elevated social status because they can do things other people can't. Most do subscribe to some sort of fandom, often something science or fantasy-related, to indulge their intellect. I do not use that term in a deroggatory manner, since as I've said, if it weren't for being an over-the-hill Redneck(and that term doesn't bother me in the least, either), I'd be called a Geek far more often myself. The two guys(who ARE the scientists who studied Coco, by the way)plainly stated that they didn't like being called "Nerds", since a Nerd not only is socially inept and does not adhere to fashion, but generally(as Bloo as pointed out)isn't too good at doing things. I mean, the tech assistant teams at a major computer company here in the US actually are officially called "the Geek Squad", and wear badges on their shirts and drive trucks identifying them as such, so if that term were offensive, they'd hardly want to do that, would they?

pitbulllady

It wasn't the terminology I found offensive. It's how you remarked about Frankie giving them "bloody noses" as if they're already confirmed to be complete jerks, even though I've yet to see any real indication of that. And it didn't help how some a few others here referred to "geeks" and "nerds" in a derogatory fashion following that remark, giving the vibe that anyone who falls into either are worthless and deserves to be mocked and ridiculed.

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

Unless they start acting as badly as Dylan, I can't see Frankie belting either one of them. She may end up losing patience with them and yelling, but she's not a violent person. Other than the incident with Dylan and going after Mr. Herriman with a mop in "Busted", both of which required considerable provocation, she's never taken a swing at anyone. It's not in her nature. :frankiesmile:

Completely and 100% agreed. I think despite the fact some may consider those two "nerds", they obviously cared enough about Coco to study her (I take that as a form of affection in a creature they are obviously fascinated by) and they think Frankie is gorgeous, giving her the admiration she deserves. :frankiesmile: Even if they DO become annoying, at least she knows people admire her. :)

Exactly how I feel, Cassini. If they're complete jerks, then they deserve the pain and heartbreak. But it would be very unlike Frankie to punch them simply for being annoying, which is why I reacted so badly to that suggestion. Considering the nature of their role in the movie - combined with how their names combined are yet another Douglas Adams/Hitchhiker's reference - I REALLY doubt they'll be jerks.

I'm unable to see the clip and thus, I haven't seen the "exaggerated" Frankie some have mentioned. I'm not gonna judge until I finally see it... but I doubt it'll come remotely close to the real thing in my eyes. It might be appealing to those who have a material view of 'beauty', but I'm with Cass; it can't compare to the wholesome wonderfulness of the real Frankie. :frankiesmile:
