Night #378 - End Credits Song SOTT

So after about a week of searching, here it finally is! I've finally uncovered it! The end credit song of Secret of the Tomb, the Tonight, the Fly With Me, of Secret of the Tomb: Let's Go!

And I have to give full credit to ahkmenrxh.tumblr.com for pointing me in the right direction because of their thing for dancing Rami Malek! I love them forever!!!

Night #369 - Initial Reaction to SOTT

Here's my initial reaction after watching SOTT last night. There are spoilers, I'm pretty sure, and don't get me wrong, otherwise, it's a good movie. But Kahmunrah, from Battle of the Smithsonian, is a pretty fucking huge oversight (there are other, smaller ones, but they don't infuriate me like this one does). Would it have been too much to give Ahk a throwaway line just to remind us that his brother does, indeed, still exist?

(Or, and this is creepily meta and terrifying, was Kahmunrah completely erased from all of existence for his crimes, and is that why no one remembers him?)

Night #368 - Breaking News - Lions Disappear from Trafalgar Square, London, England

Night #367 - One Year Active! W00t!

This is two days past the first-anniversary mark for LoveNATM! Sorry I couldn't make a post two days ago, but I lost literally all motivation to put the damn thing together because...I think it was computer issues. But in any event, here is your celebratory post! Featurettes!

And also, this bit of clerical work. There's a new blog on tumblr (I just found it literally today and I doubt it's been up all that long as I check the NATM tag quite frequently), called Fuck Yeah Chest Bump, founded by the creator of the LiveJournal community Chest Bump. Know of the tumblr, follow the tumblr, like and reblog posts from the tumblr, or link to posts from the tumblr if you do not have a tumblr yourself, and advertise from your own blogs that these people do indeed exist.

And guys, I can't wait for tomorrow! If you're in the Laramie area, tomorrow 7 and 9:30 are your chances to see NATM3 the night before official opening night! Do it! Buy Tickets! (Except they're probably sold out by now, but there's always Friday! Check showtimes here: http://www.fandango.com/regalfoxtheater6_aawsk/theaterpage)

And to everybody in the club: Happy Opening Weekend!

And one last thing (I swear on my life). They made it a pillar!

Night #363 - So Much News!!!

So I have so much news that I just have to go at it.

If you live in the Laramie, WY, area and know where the Regal Fox Theater is (it's on 20th St.), then they're playing NATM 3 Thursday night, the 18th, at 7 and 9:30 mountain time. That means we'll be catching it early!!! And I can get my reaction to you earlier than I expected.

There's a billboard, and if you haven't seen it, you should, because it's awesome: pictures/info here.

And holy fucking shit!!!

I mean seriously! So much epic and I don't even know how to even right now. Highlight: we hear Merenkahre introduce himself (Mer-EN-kah-re), and he says "If the tablet dies then nothing can bring it back", and apparently when Larry touches it once it starts to revive a little, so is he the key to its resuscitation? One way to find out!

But it goes on:

If you're anywhere near Yale, don't miss your chance to be the first to see the movie, because Shawn Levy's showing it there first!

And in Frisco or Fresno, you can win passes to NATM3 and also be among the first to see it! Good luck, fellow museum-goers!

Wishing you all total happiness and joy the closer we get to opening night! Premiere Party!!!!! And a little over a week left!!!

Night #358 - Guess Where We're At!!

Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, has been tapped by the Oscars! Specifically, SOTT is in the running for the visual effects award, along with nine other films, and beat out such films as "Lucy," "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," and "Noah", and joins such films as "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," "Transformers: Age of Extinction," "X-Men: Days of Future Past," and "Maleficent". The entire list is in alphabetical order here, and this is a first for the franchise! (at least according to this)

So enjoy the cakes and wine/7-Up, and have a party!!!

Night #353 - Happy December, Everybody!!!

Guess what! In case it's somehow escaped your notice, it is now December, which means we have exactly nineteen days until the premiere of Secret of the Tomb.

Now, I wanna know: Who's all going to see it opening night in the theaters? But more importantly, on a scale of one to

 

how excited are we?

And guess what else? There's a contest! And the prize is a goody-bag of Secret of the Tomb merchandise! Who wants it? Click here if you do! Also, let me know if you're lucky enough to win this stuff. You might be featured on the blog!

Get jazzy!

Night #351 - SOTT On Social Media

I think I need to branch out on social media. David Dayan Fisher's Instagram notwithstanding, there's also an Instagram for the Night at the Museum movies, and it has its very own Facebook page, where you'll find clips (including a TV spot where you'll see a little more of Merenkahre panicking over the tablet and how all of the exhibits are doomed; and also evidently there's a smartphone strapped to Dexter's ass - Don't believe me? Click here.) I found all of this through Tumblr.

Now, I've been considering Instagram ever since I found out DDF (AKA Shaw from National Treasure) is on there, and trolling through it it's absolutely amazing (he's sort of hippie but also a very nice blend of wise and funny and slightly badass such that I've decided (at least for right now) that my dream man will have that exact same set of qualities (you could say I've fallen in love, hehe)), but this is just further evidence that maybe Tumblr isn't enough when it comes to finding material in the far-flung net, for this blog and for my own personal enjoyment.

But for the sake of this blog, these are a plethora of resources, and I'll be plumbing them in the coming days to bring you the latest!

Night #349 - The Thanksgiving Special

Night #347 - Meet Tilly Everybody!

And also:

Win Passes To NATM 3!!!

Night #343 - The Big Break

This is it, museum-goers! This is the ultimate opportunity!


Character actors are being sought to work the premiere party on Dec. 11 for NATM:SOTT! There are ten slots to fill, so get ready! All the relevant contact information is at this link, for those who want to go out and be at the premiere and get paid! That's it, folks, you get paid to be at the Secret of the Tomb premiere. A golden opportunity indeed! Best of luck!

Night #342 - Okay so there's this app...

Literally, there's a Secret of the Tomb app, which gives you access to exclusive content (as I have no smartphone, is anyone willing to be my correspondent?) and there's this feature called "hieroglyphs", the first of nine having just been released.

More here.

And I assume this is the hieroglyph in question? (I was expecting actual ancient Egyptian symbols.)

Night #341 - Seven New Posters

Which just ooze pun.

Source: http://www.flickeringmyth.com/2014/11/seven-new-posters-night-museum-secret-tomb.html















(I was honestly expecting the last one to say "The Missing Link", but this didn't disappoint either, and it fit with the theme, too!)

Night #339 - More Character Posters!!!

OK so I found a link to an entire collection of character posters for SOTT (barring tumblr).

Check it here:

http://www.movieweb.com/night-at-museum-3-secret-tomb-posters

And it looks to me like Dr. McPhee's rockin' a little swagger. ;)

Night #338 - So I found these...

So I found these just today:

From This Website...

...and I can't help but wonder if Tilly the Night Guard (that actually is her name) and Dr. McPhee know each other in canon. Like literally, honest to God know each other: friends, related, whatever. Look at the photos, look at how they interact. I ain't tryin' to pull an Ancient Aliens here, but maybe, just maybe, they're related.

Night #337 - Two New Pics!!!

Night #334 - NEW TRAILER!!!

There's a new trailer out you guys!!!!

Watch here:

And my reaction's here.

Night #324

So there's this tumblr post that is dedicated to the new stills that have just come out for Secret of the Tomb. Lots of Dan Stevens, as well as climbing through what I first thought was a vent shaft but on further thought could possibly be a drainage in the floor. Looks like they're scrutinizing for sizes and seeing if everyone will fit. Wonder what they're escaping? Wonder if they're running toward something? Something that will save the magic?

Two months till we get answers! (Or less, depending on what people decide to release and when.)

Night #321

Hey, all, I'm still alive. It's almost Halloween, so I'm getting ready for the greatest holiday of the year right now. I'll be posting over on The Little Vampire Obsessed 2.0 very shortly about this, but it occurs to me a) that I should notify you all of my continued existence and online presence, and b) tell you all that we're about two months from the premiere of Secret of the Tomb and as far as I know there hasn't been a second trailer released yet. They're cutting it kind of close, aren't they? I wanna react to something! D:

However, these do exist. Several new stills from SOTT as we near the release date. Yet they can't release a second trailer? Alas, such is the way of the world.

But we shall keep waiting.

Night #309 - You Really Should See This

Because it's effing AWESOME!!!!

Night #299

Which means this blog has been operational for sixty-six days shy of a year. Don't worry, y'all, I'm planning the party as we speak. This is just my periodic effort to keep the day count up and let you know I'm still alive. No second trailer yet, which means no commentary set in the glorious new(ish) setting of my dorm room (even though I've been here for a month now, and this isn't even my first year, but this place lets me have opinions, so it is indeed quite glorious). Most of the news bites aren't really news at all, sadly, but I am still scanning for alerts, and we're starting to trend more frequently as premiere time gets closer, so that's good news!

No word from POWr on the count-up device, but a few posts back I posted the link to vote up the feature. I'll repost it here:

http://www.powr.io/knowledge-base/229

So yes, I'm still alive. Welcome to October, by the way, and still alert for viable bits of news to post about. We're coming in close, you guys!!!!

Night #290 - RESHOOTS!!!

Reshoots for Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb are underway, featuring Ricky Gervais so far that we know of. Also, principle photography is going on right now, and will last until October 2nd. For more information, click on yon link.

Night #282

Just your occasional infrequent reminder that I am still alive, and the count-up search still rolls on. Hoping POWr makes that useful feature (vote for it here: http://www.powr.io/knowledge-base/229) so I don't have to worry about it. Like I said, trying to make my life here easier.

Night #271

Blogger still refuses to cooperate with tickcounter.com, and POWr will not run "negative countdowns", or countups. I'll put in a request for a night/day counter, as in to count nights or days a site has been active, since this entire blog is predicated on that one simple fact, even before I ran the countdown to NATM:SOTT's premiere in theatres, but as I have little faith in the current system, I doubt I'll be listened to. I'd rally the troops, but my cynicism prevents that from being a full possibility. I'll post as frequently as possible in the meanwhile, while we get something set up which is easily accessible on the home page, but simply because I don't want to lose track of the number of nights we have been active. Best case scenario, though, is that in the near future you can simply look to the right-hand corner of the site and know a) what night it is and b) how long it will be until Secret of the Tomb premieres. We're trying to make this as easy and painless as possible, for you and us.

Night #269

It is Night #269 and I am currently working on getting a count-up widget to a) go with my countdown to party time and b) make my job as blogrunner easier. I've found the widget, which functions and does its job and there's a link and such like, but Blogger for some stupid reason refuses to accept it, so I'm trying to think of a way around that that won't involve posting a link somewhere and praying for a miracle or something. Wish me the best, all!

Night #267

Sorry for missing the last couple days, guys! Haven't been able to find a counter for how many days (nights) this thing's been live.

Night #264 - Links to Know About

Apparently Ben Stiller is a hardcore Downton Abbey fan, trumping even one of the actors (Dan Stevens) in DA trivia while on set with him for Night at the Museum 3. More can be found here and here.

Also, Rami Malek icons, which may be found here, and apparently include a set of him in a headdress. I wonder if this is on set for filming a flashback, or if he's just having fun. And I really wanna know the answer to this now. Badly. So if anyone out there on the far-flung net can point me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated and get its own spot here on LoveNATM.

Night #263 - Lookie at the new Countdown Widget!!! --->

So apparently my countdown's all wonked up, if you compare what I've been doing to the work over in the upper-right there (which, by the way, is the new countdown feature I just discovered existed when I went looking for something to make my running of this blog easier). It's showing 106 days but my present numbers show 111. This looks like a question for Google!

ETA: According to daycalc, the answer is 106, which means somehow, somewhere, I ended up five off. I would love to go back and fix all of that (actually I really wouldn't; I'd start shooting random things in the immediate vicinity and throwing random objects in random directions while cussing and screaming in my rage), and in a way I'm tempted to keep doing the countdown, except I just found something to do it for me, so there's no point. Anyway, let me know if you have trouble reading the format, if you need anything to be bigger, smaller, brighter, darker, whatever. And you are looking at the end of the hand-made countdown!!! Hale-fucking-lujah!! I am so frickin glad to finally lay all that to rest. It is waaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too much work, believe you me. I wish I thought of this sooner.

So for quick and easy reference, refer to the corner and you'll know your exact standing when it comes to Night at the Museum 3's premiere date, and be grateful it's no longer subject to human error (as you can see).

Yet Ben Kingsley and Michael Patrick Denis's character remains unnamed. Why is this such a secret? A character I don't even know jack about and the night guard which greets Larry and thinks he's cool for being a guard in America both get names. Why is Ahkmenrah's father's name such a secret? What lies hidden there? Egyptians always believed that names held power, so is that what's at play here? Is it the name of a famous historical figure to give a better anchor into the ancient Egyptian timeline for the Brothers Egypt? What in the actual hell is going on with this guy? I MUST KNOW!!!!!

Breaking News

I just learned from Tumblr and checked through the rest of the internet that Robin Williams is dead. The guy who plays Teddy Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt's bust, and Teddy Roosevelt's hologram is gone. Somebody said suicide, somebody said asphyxiation (lack of oxygen which can result in death), it's breaking news all over the internet and right now personally I'm in shock. I don't know what to make of this at this point, and it's really sad that this was his last movie.

(And I just checked, it looks like suicide by asphyxia, which is to say hanging or choking or otherwise suffocating himself.)

Robin Williams was 63.

Night #240 - Videos About the Trailer

(NOTE: This kid is extremely hard to please, especially for a 10-year-old, but his video has been included for the sake of having a variety of opinions on the trailer. I dub him lame!kid and have no idea what pleases him/makes a good movie in his view, but it's perfectly okay to think he has a point. I'm aware some of you read this to laugh at me and some more of you liked NATM1 and thought NATM2 was terrible (the way this kid does, which is interesting I think) and are in no way excited for NATM3, but I'm also aware that some of you thought the movies progressively got better and are looking forward to SOTT. I'm just doing my best to be representative, love it or hate it.)

Countdown: 134 Days to NATM:SOTT

Night #239 - Why does the International Trailer exist again?

The International Trailer, just a hair shorter than the trailer currently released; shaved off is the "This preview is approved for all audiences" card and that part where Jed and Octavius tumble through the air duct to Pompeii (presumably). It makes me wonder why it even exists at all. And there's even this 2:51 version on Dailymotion, which has tacked onto the end of the official trailer (the American one) a segment about the King Kong prequels, about which as a NATM fan I don't care. So, so far as I can tell, there's a trailer and one that is just ever so slightly shorter but essentially the same thing. If you're going to have an International Trailer, make it long and pack it with new material. Make it f*cking worth it, dammit.

(But if you really, really want to see it, click here.)

Night #237 - Wherein I Muse Over What it Means to be Last in a Trilogy

I just realized the countdown and Tonight are exactly a hundred apart, number-wise. Wonder what that means? Woooooo, creepy magic hoodoo stuff.

Actually, tonight is kind of interesting, because it's the night where I'm starting to truly see the decline of activity in the fandom as a whole, the "settling down" if you will, in the post-trailer universe. I still receive as-it-happens Google alerts with the hope of coming up with something to talk to you guys about, but it's drifting back to same-stuff-different-day. It is coming out and being clear that this is the final installment that we're expecting this Christmas season, which is exceedingly depressing (possibly due to Mindy McCready's "Maybe He'll Notice Her Now"), and kind of worries me some. This is the end of the series, after all, so is it going to be good, is it going to be happy and hopeful? Is it going to be sad and depressing and forever ruin the entire franchise? (This is similar to the effect Twelfth Grade Kills has on the Vladimir Tod fandom: if you know what happens in TGK, then everything else becomes exceedingly different when you go back through, and a lot of the time it's darker.) The thing is, there is a lot to saddle here, and if it can't be done, or at least can't be done effectively, then the fandom could consider itself destroyed. If it's intentionally depressing, or the creators' intentions don't jive with what the fandom wants to see happen, then the hate mail could start flying the second the end credits roll (this goes for Twilight, as well; many Twihards prefer to think that Breaking Dawn never happened and the story ended with Eclipse). This is sad and challenging for us all. It may not feel that way in the midst of all the anticipation, but I encourage you to sit down and think about it. Think about what it means that Night at the Museum is coming to an end. Think about what could happen if this installment screws with anyone's ideas, anyone at all anywhere, ever. There is too much riding on this one movie: what if the ending's not right? What if we don't get the mood just right? This is the last memory we will have of this franchise possibly ever. What if it's not a good one? What if it's sad and depressing and intentionally so? (I'm sure Levy and Co are insulated from the fall-out but the internet would be positively alive.) There are consequences, especially to something this truly momentous, and personally, what if Secret of the Tomb doesn't live up to expectations. I'm scared for what could happen to the fandom as a result. But maybe that's just me as the unofficial fandom reporter over here at LoveNATM.

Dear God, I hope they do this right.

Countdown: 137 Days to NATM 3.

Night #236 - And One Thing I Forgot

I kept forgetting this in my tapes for the reaction videos, but apparently things outside the museum are coming to life as well, which to me is a huge clue that really wonky shit is hitting the fan. If things outside are coming to life and things inside are dying, then this truly means the end is nigh, I think, as it won't be long before chaos runs amok through the streets and from there it's a slippery slope to a gigantic snake trying to swallow the sun and plunge the earth into chaos and darkness.

Because this is a question that has been floating around ever since the trailer came out. There is no listing of Tom Cruise anywhere on SOTT related material except to ask this question: Is that Tom Cruise as the caveman? Because apparently it looks a hell of a lot like him. Personally I can't tell one way or the other under the makeup and such, but if you can, please let me know in the comments below.

News

It seems I'm returning to the old format, a post a day with more than just the countdown. I owe a great deal of that to the trailer and the microblogging world of tumblr, where people make GIFs of things like this, as well as post the trailer, draw fan art, post pics, etc. However, I don't know how long this can hold out. I know that since one trailer has come out, others will follow in the coming months, not to mention the posters, stills, and GIF sets, but as of now I don't have any definite plans for the future of the blog, even tomorrow I'm not fully sure what I'll post. It seems the entire fandom is still in a stage of reacting to the release of the trailer (which they have absolutely every right to do, because it's epic and too long coming), so the surge in material is great. But that's ultimately a short-term thing. This will wear off soon, so I've been careful about advertising what's next on LoveNATM. But rest assured, I will ride the wave as long as I possibly can, and we'll all end up in the same place together. And we might get lucky, that wave may never fully end until long after the release of SOTT on DVD. :)

Night #228 - Holy F*** You Guys

That was an enjoyable ride, I think....and I'm understating. That was effing hilarious! But there's a serious problem: The tablet's magic is going wonky! I seriously want to know more about this now, because noooooooo how can this be!!!!! But things inside and outside the museum are going insane because the tablet's fritzing and they have to figure out why and they're meeting the Pharaoh ("Kiss my staff"; wow, I can see where Kahmunrah got his 'tude) and there's flashbacks to the creation of the tablet and we'll actually get to see how that whole thing started. And it's funny!!! (Still holding out for that Spotted Dick joke, though.)

Stay tuned, Museum-goers!!!

Countdown: 146 Days to the long-awaited Night at the Museum 3!!!!

Ian/Shaw Gone Forever

(Click the above link. Upload's not working, sorry :(. )

The basic premise behind this is that Ian is lying to himself about how well he's taking Shaw's death.

I do not own National Treasure, Three Days Grace's "Gone Forever", and this is not, by any means, an effort to profit. This is purely for entertainment and because inspiration struck.

A Question for Y'All

I've got a question for anyone and everyone who happens to be in the National Treasure fandom (which I will be crossposting on my tumblr). Where in the hell is Ian's motivation for finding the treasure explicitly stated to be monetary gain? I see this notion in nearly every review of the movie online, but there is literally no evidence for it in the film itself, unless I've missed it. For all I know, he's probably bored out of his skull and needs something to do with his life and this just happened to fall into his lap. Seriously, where does this monetary gain thing even come from?

Sir Ben Kingsley, British Villains, and the Secret of the Tomb

I recently discovered the (brilliant and amazing) British Villains Jaguar ad campaign, the genesis of which you can see here:

The guy in the center is the guy slated to play a nameless pharaoh in Secret of the Tomb--Sir Ben Kingsley. And this is starting to make me wonder: maybe there's more going on here than Lancelot going around being a vain ponce and causing trouble for Larry. This is something I've suspected from the start, and you can see the archives for a variety of examples, but this is really starting to make me suspect that it's the pharaoh who might be the main cause of all sorts of trouble. (Not to typecast, but we've got three guys known to play British baddies all in one place here, thanks to Jaguar and, again, the brilliance of their advertising manager, so personally, I'm a bit suspish at this point.)
