#whack bat

[jasonraish]

The Material World of Wes Anderson explores the meticulously designed objects from his 9 films. I tried to have a mix of obvious to obscure to make the guessing more fun. I’ll post up 3 from one film each day and have answers and an explanation for the previous day’s objects. As a refresher his flims in chronological order are: Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle of Dogs.

Answers: Fantastic Mr. Fox - Fig.7: A whackbat from the fictitious cricket inspired game the kids play called ‘Whackbat’. Fig.8: The modified tubesock Jason Schwartzman’s character uses as a bandit mask. Fig.9: A ‘Red Remarkable’ apple from Mr. Bean’s farm, specifically grown for cider.

Tune in for more tomorrow!

Rules for Whack Bat

[morri-ssex]

Whack-bat requires at least thirteen players, consisting of three grabbers, three taggers, five twig-runners, one center tagger, and the player at whack-bat. The center tagger lights a pinecone on fire and throws it to the player at whack-bat. The player hits the pinecone and runs to knock a cedar stick off the cross rods. Then the twig-runners dash back and forth until the pinecone burns out and the umpire calls "Hot box". Finally, the scoredowns are added up, then divided by nine.

Well it's real simple. Basically, there's three grabbers, three taggers, five twig runners and the player at whack bat. Center tagger lights a pine cone, chucks it over the basket and the whack batter tries to hit the cedar stick off the cross rock. Then, the twig runners dash back and forth until the pine cone burns out and the umpire calls "Hot box." Finally, at the end you count up however many score downs it adds up to and divide that by nine.

Any one up for a game of Whack Bat?

I'm pretty sure I can find a pine cone and a lighter, anyone got a bat?

This film looks darn good in Blu Ray.
