I did not go and see Night at the Museum originally, because I lived in a cardboard box at the time, and did not like Ben Stiller for purely irrational reasons that would stand up to no reasonable test whatsoever. I guess I read that he played a night time security guard in that movie, and although I had some friends who were late night security guards, I could think of at least one late night security guard from several years ago who was a real pain in my ass and who made me not want to see a movie about anything that tangentally reminded me of that.

But B said that maybe she would like to see the new one, Battle of the Smithsonian, and we were going to try and see it at OMSI, which would break yet another barrier in that I never go to OMSI because of a bad time I once had there, with a visit back in December being my first trip back in many many years. But then it turns out it was no longer playing at OMSI, so we went to a normal theater like normal people and got to see the adventures of Larry Dailey firsthand.

I would like to note that the happy ending involves Mr. Dailey meeting and chatting with the nice girl, and not doing anything else, just hello and a little conversation.

What does it mean that the late night security guards would rush to hide me with the other superheroes before daybreak? Why is his son named Nick? Why is the name Akmenra so obvious?

Why do no proceeds go to my legal fund and why am I supposed to be happy about having my life constantly raided when your movies don't even make her like me again?

Anyway. It feels weird saying this about a children's movie, but I liked it.
