Wilt
reminds me of Adam Sandler’s character in the movie, Anger Management, who, like
Wilt, had trouble saying “no”, and kept his anger bottled in for fear of upsetting others. Jack
Nicholson played an off-beat(to put it mildly)psychiatrist who specialized in treating anger issues. One line of
his in particular reminded me of Wilt, in which he described two kinds of people with anger management problems:
the guy who’s seemingly always mad, who goes into a convenience store early in the morning and screams and
throws things at the clerk because he’s being served too slowly or the store doesn’t have what he wants, and
the clerk himself, who day after day puts up with people screaming at him and throwing things at him and making
ridiculous demands, and who always just shrugs it off and smiles, then one day shows up at work with a shotgun
and slaughters a dozen people.
Wilt, I’m afraid, is getting dangerously close to becoming that
convenience store clerk. He is much quicker to react in anger now and to do things without thinking, especially
when he’s under duress, like he was in “Bus the Two of Us”, in which Mac begged him to cover for the
fact that Bloo had stolen the Foster’s bus for a joyride. Wilt acted a LOT like Randall Boggs does in
Monsters, Inc., becoming extremely jumpy and neurotic and doing things that were
quite nasty, like slapping Eduardo’s piggy bank out of his hands, causing it to shatter on the floor, and
deliberately shoving Mr. Herriman down a flight of stairs, THEN covering for THAT, even though he could hear
Herriman groaning in pain at the foot of the staircase and knew he obviously was hurt.
It’s hard to tell
if Wilt’s behavior is the result of his having experienced abuse in the past(he has clearly been the victim of
SOME sort of trauma, though whether it was accidental or deliberate waits to be seen), or if he is trying to
compensate for something awful HE has done in the past, but hopefully we will learn much of what makes him
tick(as in TIME BOMB, apparently)in the upcoming movie about him, Good Wilt Hunting,
which will air on November 24. I sorta hope they don’t reveal TOO much, though, since that mysterious past is
part of what makes Wilt such an intriguing individual.

For Bloo he’s jus funny from what he does to what he says to just his high pitched
