The Silver Lining

Air Bud

October 19, 2009

Meet the golden retriever, Buddy, in a series of releases of the movie “Air Bud.”

The plot revolves around a 12-year-old boy, Josh Framm, who has an interest in basketball. After the death of his father, Josh moves with his family to Washington State and is too shy to try out for his middle school’s basketball team and too shy to make any friends. Through a series of coincidences, Josh meets Buddy (Seagal), a Golden Retriever who escaped his cruel owner, an alcoholic clown Norman Snively. Josh soon learns that Bud has the ability to play the sport of basketball.

Buddy becomes the mascot of Josh’s school’s basketball team and begins appearing in their halftime shows. But just before the championship game, Buddy’s original owner, Snively steals Buddy from Josh. Josh then infiltrates Snively’s backyard where Buddy is. Snively can’t see him due to a stack of cans on his windowsill. The stack of cans then falls and Josh is caught infiltrating Snively’s backyard. Josh gets Buddy off the chain. Snively then chases Josh in his clown truck. The chase rages on to parking lots near a lake. The van’s steering wheel is then acidentally taken off and rolls across a few parking lots. Snively and his own clown truck falls in the water but doesn’t drown. A few minutes after the chase, Josh then decides to set him free to find someone else. Initially, his team is losing at the championship until Buddy shows up. When it is discovered that there is no rule that a dog cannot play basketball, Buddy joins the roster to lead the team to a come from behind championship victory. Snively sues the Framm family for custody of Bud. It is decided that the dog will choose who will be its rightful owner at the suggestion of Josh’s coach, a former Knicks player. Buddy attacks Snively and runs to Josh causing the judge to grant custody of Buddy to Josh while Snivley is dragged away by the police.



As of now,
AIR BUD has come up with 6 sequel movies, and collecting all these is still a dream (they’re all in my Amazon wish list). I have seen three of them in AstroVision, on sale at P99 each. I want to have them all. I know I will, soon.

That’s how I’m crazy ’bout Buddy. :D

Alvin’s staff

October 16, 2009

I took some time after lunch to finally assign Alvin’s staff. It was a real pleasure in realizing that Alvin was the last thing to be bought for a complete set of gadgets.

 

 

 

Everything is complete — a Kodak EasyShare 7-MP digital camera and a Magnavox 2GB Mp3 player, which I bought from WalMart in the States last year; a Maxtor 160-GB external passport hard drive which Mom bought me last April; a set of SONY MDR earphones which I have long kept in reserve; and a Kingston 2GB flash drive bought last March [it’s pink, SO GAY].
