Foul Larry - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

LaBlooGirl · 11-24-2006, 07:29 PM

Okay let's not leave this guy out...even though he pretty much ruined Wilt both physically and emotionally (on some levels), I don't think he's ALL bad. Besides you heard Stats at the end say, "See, being good is easy." (Well I'm not sure if that's exactly what he said but something similar.)

Uhm, my thoughts on him? SCARY. He's HUGE. And must weigh...as much as a BUS. How he runs around like that and throws his weight around with ease is one of those mysteries. But the kid who imagined him sure made him one tough dude.
Too bad he can't play without cheating. And I almost hate him for throwing Wilt around like a ragdoll. I mean geez, Wilt pretty much got his face rubbed into the cement more than once.

SCARIEST MOVE EVER....Larry's version of a SLAM DUNK. You KNOW if Wilt had ended up behind that guy and never got rescued, he would have been smushed, forget just losing another arm or something. Yikes!

On the good points thing...I think Larry really wants to be good cause well you see that in the end. He was really worried thinking no kid would want him. (I bet his creator abandoned him at some point or another, hence why he's dressed like a hobo and hiding out in a corner when Wilt finds him.) All he said to Wilt about his creator not wanting him anymore was probably more how he felt inside himself. He seems insecure, and has to show off to get attention, even if it's negative attention, like when the crowd boos him for doing all those cheating things to Wilt.

I love his voice though. It sounded almost exactly like I imagined it before I watched the movie!

Okay so give your own thoughts. I'm done rambling here. :bloogrin

Maybe Larry had a hard life.

Larry was a jerk unless he makes up to Wilt he'll fit along nicely with Goofball in my hated character list.

Larry was brutal on poor Wilt, no denying that... but I liked that he turned out to be such a huge softie at the end. It was funny that he became so apologetic and genuinely sorry--even though he beat Wilt in the rematch and didn't suffer any consequences whatsover for his admiteddly dirty tactics. For that, I think that he's not so bad.

I still think that Frankie comforting him and "boosting up" his broken ego at the end was very adorable.

Invader Bloo · 11-24-2006, 07:55 PM

Him acting like a dog was admittedly funny & sorta cute.

When I first saw the previews, I said to my self, they are so going to call that character "Larry" after 80's basketball icon Larry Bird.

After all he was wearing the colors of the Boston Celtics. (Green with White Trim.) the team that L. Bird played for.

And he looked pretty rocking in that hoodie I must say.

He doesn't make a good first impression, that's for sure, but after that scene with Frankie at the end I completely changed my mind about him. He may be big, tough, and mean, but deep down he just wants to be wanted. Can any of us say different?

Bird was a 1980's basketball star. Julius Erving ruled the 1970's.

Interesting choice of a name, Bird=Fowl=Foul... Larry? That's probably stretching it.
The name is an obvious homage to Larry Bird (as already pointed out), who was one of Michael Jordan's first foils. Foul Larry played more like one of the rough and tumble "Bad Boys" Detroit Pistons (Bill Lambier, Jeff Ruland, Rick Mahorn), Jordan's most notable rivals.

Foul Larry had a pretty nice shooting form.

Interesting that his creator seemed to be the only white kid in the neighborhood.

Me too, hell if I was an egotistical, snaggling, and trash talking/playing basketball imaginary friend, any kind of encouraging words (followed by a tap on the end) by Frankie would get me to turn good...or jump through hoops of fire!

Fowl Larry was a nice foil to Wilt seeing as how he was designed specifically to be a Basketball opponent. Like I said in my review of the movie however, I just think Larry's reform was way too soon and seemed kinda thrown in at the last minute.
