Good Wilt Hunting Movie Discussion 11/23/06 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Sparky · 11-23-2006, 07:29 PM

You guys seriously don't need to bother with spoiler tags in this thread I think, ater all the open talk already in here.

I liked it of course - although like I always do, I spent the whole thing wondering just HOW Mac manages to stay away from home for so long without his mom seeming to notice or care. -_- (Speaking of the passage of time, too, how could the gang be out looking for Wilt for supposedly several days when the Creator Picnic was only a weekend? If the first part of the movie was Saturday, and they left to search for Wilt Sunday morning, then how come when they got back to Foster's "days" later the "weekend" was just ending?

I'm probably just confused, I can be kind of dense sometimes.)

I admit I could sort of see why Wilt may have had to have his arm amputated after such a bad break in multiple places (his arm being so long and thin perhaps setting the bone just wasn't possible), but why did his eye suddenly become rattly just from being smacked with a basketball? I thought at first that Larry landed on his eyestalk too (which of course would rupture the eye and explain why Wilt got a false one, even one that obviously wasn't made specially for him) but having his eye suddenly shrink and become unblinking etc just didn't work for me. (Sorry.) But I guess they just didn't want to make it too violent. I'll bet anything that this origin was created long after the character himself was, and they had to find an origin to fit him rather than design a character to go with a pre-conceived origin.

Okay I have this thing recorded on my computer already and of course I wil have screenshots asap. Do you guys think I should upload the movie somewhere right away or wait until after its aired a couple more times? Would it matter? I don't want to make the people who don't get (American) CN or whatever wait, but I don't want to post it so soon it hurts the movie's ratings. Perhaps today was the only day that mattered, does anyone know?

I'm jealous of CG and her banner-ad-free copy.

Even the end credits weren't safe.
