I went to go see Night at The Museum 2 today, seeing as I really liked the first movie.

I had a run-in with a really rude lady at the door, unfortunately, who was blocking the entrance; she was standing in the doorway talking to someone, and she was holding the door open herself so I grabbed the door and held it open, and politely said "Excuse Me", but she didn't move; a few other people came by and waited for her to move, and by this time I was contemplating just using the exits, when the lady turns around, scowls and me, and rudely says "Well Excuse me," and goes off on her way.

It irked me all the way into the theatre, but I suddenly stopped caring when I saw a trailer for "Where the Wild Things Are" (which is pretty much the first or second best kid's book ever), which looks really awesome; and I completely forgot about it when the actual movie started.

I think I may actually like this sequel better then the first one, if only because some of my favorite historical figures appear-Al Capone, Napoleon Bonaparte, Amelia Earhart, The Wright Brothers, Lincoln, and Einstein (albeit as a bobblehead)-which was awesome. I'm still undecided as to whether Capone getting pwned by Napoleon is awesome or not. Plus, since the Smithsonian has an art museum there were several scenes inside the art museum with moving paintings and sculptures, a la Harry Potter, which was REALLY awesome, especially when Larry and Amelia go inside one of the photographs. Oh, and there was a giant CGI Octopus. Octopi are one of my favorite animals, but seeing the octopus grabbing the Egyptian soldiers and flinging them around, and later on watching the octopus grab Larry with its tentacles, rub him against his head, and 'kissing' him with the suctions (I'm seriously not kidding, this happens) reminded me waaaay too much of hentai. I'm lucky I still liked octopi and Cthulu after having seen the horror that is tentacle rape, as well as that scene. But I can let it slide, since the makers of the movie probably don't know about tentacle rape.

Only REAL complaint was that whoever did the voices for the aforementioned Einstein bobbleheads (in the movie they're gifts in the museum gift shop) sounded French (Einstein was German). Meh, the accents are kind of the same, so I guess I can't really say anything.
That, and the ending. I won't spoil it for anyone, but I didn't like how it turned out.

But still, the movie was really good. Makes me wanna go back to the Smithsonian...especially seeing as I haven't been there in over eight years.




In unrelated news, I'm going to a party on Thursday and Tokyo in Tulsa is next month
