You miserable bastards.

Night at the Museum 2? Really?

There was a shitty movie with robots you could have sent me to. Or a shitty movie with the Wayanses. But no. I get to watch a talented and pretty actress flirt with a chimpy Jew (who will grow into Jerry Stiller’s orangutan body sooner than he thinks) while hundreds of the funniest men in the world earn their seven-figure three-day pachecks.

Lennon and Garant can be incredibly funny. Christopher Guest, Ricky Gervais, Bill Hader, Hank Azaria, Steve Coogan… the brain part of my brain says that I will thoroughly enjoy it. But the part of my brain that didn’t fall asleep while I watched the first one is screaming that I need to factor in international box office and go see Terminator: Salvation. But, no. I made a promise.

(Besides, Bendis Twatted during the premiere: “The only guy who knew what he was doing was the DP — and he’s the one that  got yelled at!”)

So, tomorrow, if I get my chores done in time, I will subject myself to the movie that Lee Thomas of WJBK FOX 2, Detroit calls “Hilarious. Comic genius. Please get me out of Detroit.”

Happy Memorial Day, America. This better be better than Obsessed.
