I personally would hope that Larry gets adopted ASAP, as Frankie thought he would. I don't hate him, but I find it very hard to believe that all his animosity towards Wilt, and vice versa, is just gonna disappear, just like that. Wilt may act more civilized of the two, but it has GOT to be painful to have to look at the one who left him in that physical condition and tried to kill both him AND his kid, every morning at the breakfast table. As good-natured and forgiving as Wilt is, he still would have difficulty dealing with THAT. Plus, both of them are highly competitive, and they take competition far more seriously than most, for whom it's just fun. It would be kinda tense, to say the least-like having two big male Pit Bulls running loose in the house, who've already gotten in a couple of bad "scraps". Sooner or later, one is gonna say the wrong thing or do something the other finds objectionable, and it's gonna be on...and I DON'T mean on the basketball court! pitbulllady Quote:

I was out of town for thanksgiving and was not able to see Good Wilt Hunting until just a few hours ago (of course I taped it).
I gave it a "B". Now, that's not to say I didn't really enjoy it, I thouroughly enjoyed it. Foster's is a show that sets a high bar in entertainment value. I rate only a few episodes as "A"s (four off the top of my head). Good Wilt Hunting is easily one of the top ten episodes I've seen. So that "B" is a very high one. Eh, now that I think about it, maybe I ought to give it an "A", because I love basketball. Can't change my vote in the poll, but consider me an honorary "A" giver if you will. Please? That said, I'll give my thoughts... - I appreciated all of the references, whether they were simple, stupid, or not-too-obvious. Hitchhiker's Guide, Khaki Jones, Larry... - The story was nice and not too predictable. Wilt's backstory was pretty interesting. - Basketball, there was lots of it and I loved that. I wish there was more, but I'll take what I can get. Bonus! the ABA ball makes an appearance... - Wilt's creator dissapointed me a little, simply because of his name. Surely the writers could have done better than "Jordan Michaels". Yes, I know kids will get the reference more easily than "Gilmore Artis" or something, but still. Perhaps Wilt's namesake's greatest rival would have been a better inspiration for his creator's name, something like "Russell Williams". - Best moment for me may have been when Wilt opened his bundle to reveal a red, white, and blue ABA basketball. - Lots of Frankie, which was nice. I liked the running gags with the parking tickets, the noise, and the urgency. All classic Frankie moments. So, one complaint? Great episode, glad my VCR worked. |

This is pretty much all a spoiler, haha.
I really loved this movie. I didn't get to see it until Sunday morning, so I was nearly going crazy by then. And Saturday morning, I went with my grandparents (and other people) to go out for breakfast, and this movie was playing at the cafe's tv! I was just dying in my seat, knowing that the movie was only ten feet from me and I still couldn't watch it, haha. But anyway, I was pretty satisfied. We finally know what happened to Wilt's arm and eye, and we know of his creator's whereabouts! So I'll just jump right in to what I liked and what I didn't like. I really did like Eduardo's creator, and I'm glad she had a flashback to when she created him. I just thought they were both so cute! And Nina Barbarosa is just the coolest name ever. She and Eduardo were a really great pair! Oh, and I just loved the pink family, the mom, dad, and daughter. They really cracked me up, how they were just crying about everything. Like Frankie answers the door, and the lady is crying because she just "loves getting visitors!" That was the best. And the little girl and her pink bear's reunion was just so adorable. And each time Wilt missed his bus I would be writhing around in my seat... I was just saying "Darn you! Think about yourself for once!" lol. That old man with the farm was pretty funny though. I felt sorry for Wilt having to process all that hay! Well at least he got that groovy lawn mower! I was really disappointed at the length of the movie. Didin't KND get an hour and a half? FHFIF really need some more time. The plot was great, and an hour long was definately not enough to squeeze it all in. It just seemed really rushed near the end. When Bllo and Mac have thier epiphany in knowing where Wilt is, all I heard was "Blahblahblah JAPAN!" I was like "What?" And near the end where Wilt's creator is there, Bloo and Mac explain it so fast I couldn't really understand them. It was easier to understand in my second viewing. Now don't get me wrong man, I really loved this movie, but I feel that Foster's needed more time for the movie than just an hour. It jumped around alot and skipped as well. But other than this, the movie was really enjoyable. I was just a little mad at Wilt for leaving his boy like that, without even knowing if he was unwanted or not. Darn you! Dawwwww but I love him. And Coco's nerdy profeser people were funny. The large one reminded me of the comic book guy on The Simpson's. And the skinny one was exactly like Mandark from Dexter's Laboratory. Thier vision of Franky cracks me up. Oh, and Jackie Khones is wonderful by the way. Even though he got like one line. So ANYWAY, Good Wilt Hunting really was worth the wait and excitement. We love you wilt! Last edited by basilsunshine; 11-27-2006 at 03:51 PM. |

basil,the reason you were reminded of Mandark is because it was the same voice actor.
