Fa La Laaa

It was a beautiful, crisp day in So Cal today, and I hadn't gone on a walk in a while, so I decided to walk to the movie theater and meet Linda there to see "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb", the final installment in the trilogy.  

• No, I didn't know it was a trilogy, but this was a nice ending to the series.
• I was bummed that they didn't have the original actor who played Nick from the first movie.
• The first sight of Robin Williams got me all teary.  I cried much more than I thought I would.
• Seeing Mickey Rooney didn't help.  
• Neither did the end credit dedication to Mickey, and then "For Robin Williams Magic Never Ends".  Sigh.  RIP, you two talented gentlemen.
• Yay!  Dick Van Dyke, dancing it up!
• The YouTube video connection to the flashlight on the lions was brilliant.
• Even more brilliant: the fight taking place in the M.C. Escher "House of Stairs".  Genius.
• "Iiepwop."
• I love that the caveman doppelganger's name in the credits is spelled "Laaa".
• Trixie and Rex doing the "Dirty Dancing" lift: funny!
• Trixie seems to be the name for female triceratops: that's the same name they used in "Toy Story 3".
• HIPPOS!  3 of them!
• Huge Ackman.  Wolverine.  YES.

That was enjoyable.
