Air Bud movies
(There’s more than 3, right?)
Edit: bloody 'ell, just looked it up. There are ducking 14 of them. I’ve made myself sad.
Well, I haven’t seen any of them, so I can’t do this one.
Me neither. But prof has grandkids. Hell be along shortly to give as a run down.
Oh, no, not Air Bud or any of the Bud puppy movies. I’ve never seen one, and never plan to watch one. Fortunately my grandson was never interested. Now he’s 16, so he’s mainly interested in action, gore and sex. The last movie we watched together was The Big Lebowski. He loved it. He still doesn’t know what happened, but he loved it.
Blah! Did I screw us? Did I win? How long shall we give it before we bail on it?
