Do Not Read This Title

Night At The Museum: silly movie, with lots of cool moments that make it worth watching

Night At The Museum II: even sillier movie, with lots of really cool moments that aren't enough to make up for the overall failure of everything else.


Although Amelia Earhart flying the Wright brother's plane (I think, it was a bit chaotic) around the Air & Space Museum at the Smithsonian is a lot a cool.

But Pi (as 3.14159) being the code to activate a 3000 year old Egytian artefact?

last night I watched the second of the DVDs I got for my birthday (it was one of those "2 movies in one" boxes), which was the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I like the premise but it could have been handled better. Probably I should read the comics :)

OTOH it was one of those movies where you can get caught up in action and not notice the plot holes. Although plot holes require a plot and I don't think I noticed that either. I wouldn't have minded seeing this one at the cinema. The scenes with the submarine surfacing would be so cool on a big scene, and the buildings collapsing and some of the others.

Was thinking the other day that, even without alternative history and steampunk, there was some interesting tech floating around in the 19th Century that could be fun to play with. In a story that is. It would be fun to physically play with some of it I'm sure, but it's all locked away in museums (and most people don't the chance to play with things in musems ;)
