Well the moral of the story is that if Mallick had to get into the movie biz.....
 

he should have made a sequel to Air Bud, much lower budget, dog works cheap and no plot about credit card processing for porn sites and Mafia and such.

I agree. Why make such a self-indulgent narcissistic movie?

Air-Bud, I don't know about that. But he could have worked with some upcoming directors for a lot cheaper, and probably could have gotten a least one big name actor looking for some "indie" street cred.

we can shoot movie about mr mallick running with our money. and at the starting titles "no names were changed, everything is by real life" :)

Christ, how many Air Bud movies have there been? Like 5 or 6?
