Night #116 - Let's Play Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian - Part 10

The penultimate segment in the saga of alternating failure and triumph, confusion and clarity, witticism and abject torture, and it's called "The Lincoln Memorial". In my view, about damned time.


Wherein we open with an explanation of the final events of Part 9 and then commence with the taking out of Napoleon's guards with the help of the Lunar Lander. She's actually a lot better at this than the plane earlier. This part is peppered with French jokes of various sorts, Octavius' sincerely useless commentary, Amelia's suggestion already in effect by the second or third time she makes it, and toward the end Larry is granted the powers of Zeus.

Yay, the Wright Flyer!

Dramatic Godfather-esque music still in effect.

"You were dropped on your head as a child, Mr. Daley." - Amelia. Evidently the narrator finds this a riot.

"I'm getting a crazy idea." "That's the only kind you seem to have." - Larry and Amelia respectively.

Masochist!Ben Franklin (Which BJK pronounces "mah-zo-chist")

At least the Lincoln looks okay. Sound is just slightly off (more crotchety and old), but oddly I'm jiggy with it. Or I've basically said "Fuck it" and threw my sensibilities out the window with the butter dish by this point.

I think they're using shitty lighting to make up for the fact that the Horus warriors are badly rendered. You can't see them very well, so they claim (at least in this regard) you essentially have no right to bitch.

We also get into the first parts of the final showdown. For some reason Kahmunrah's voice is more bearable, probably because I know he's going to end up royally screwed by the end of this, which is actually quite heartening. Means I don't have to put up with this for much longer.

Next on "For the Love of Night at the Museum": The final showdown! *Cues western music* Part Eleven, called "The Obelisks", a clue into how we get things done, it sounds like.

Countdown: 257 Days to NATM 3.
