D2 kid's play

the films from the nineties still appear fresh on tv screens.  it's my old age talking.  the nineties, a decade to youngins like Bo is ancient history and isn't particularly my favorite decade. while  the noughties were more challenging to my emotional equipoise.  the 2010's might turn out to be my lucky charm.

from the noughties, one movie i've replayed over and over on HBO Asia and VHS was D2: The Mighty Ducks or The Mighty Ducks 2.  recently it was shown on Sky and brings back some sort of memories.  this is more schmaltzy than the other two flicks in the series.  joshua jackson as a child actor?  better check out the first movie.  he grew too tall for the third one.  take a peek at a teenage kenan thompson. i've spent a lot of downtime with Nickelodeon during my twenties, good god.  there was no cable at home when i was a teenager.  no internet.  even a typewriter.  there were books though.

the kids in the film and how they've transformed into adulthood had been a captivating research.  others climbed even greater heights. and are always on the radar. some switched careers and quit showbusiness. i watched this confection for the bubble gum and marshmallows.
