In the midst of brutal heat, mounting costs of living, and breathing autonomously, it’s easy for ordinary humans to overlook the untapped franchise possibilities of the ingenious Night At The Museum. Fortunately, Twentieth Century Fox and Ben Stiller, never ones to rest on their laurels when a dime could be snatched from the unsuspecting, have been busily constructing what only your subconscious has (thus far) yearned to see.
That’s right … get ready for Night At The Museum 2: Please Someone Kill Me.
And in the high-level board meetings – those creative well-springs of Hollywood – Stiller has made only one demand of the film’s screenwriters:
“Just make it funnier than the first one. I just want it to be funnier,” saith Stiller.
How can anything imagined by conscious humans ever top this hilarity?

I feel so much better now, knowing that Stiller has decreed an increase in the amount of humor in the sequel. In addition to (humorously) resembling a fucking ape, Stiller’s filmography is comprised of approximately 0.67% of actual humor … so he would be a great person to guide this film to new and hilarious heights.
Fortunately Stiller is not alone in this steadfast stand on comedy. Fox has given its own mandate to the screenwriters on the important role of creativity in the process of making this film:
The writers feel no pressure at the box office, though they are aware of how much 20th Century Fox is counting on the sequel. Lennon said, “Certainly I know everyone at Fox, in fact we were told going into it, ‘This is the number one priority for the Fox studio, for Newscorp this year.
It’s all about the shareholders, right Fox??
This entire situation stinks like Rosie O’Donnell’s old sneaker after she used it as a tampon. Stiller and Fox should be ashamed of themselves … their process of filmmaking doesn’t resemble a creative endeavor as much as it does the child selection process in Gattaca.
Doctor: “Would you like your child to have blue or green eyes, Mr. and Mrs. Stiller?”
Ben Stiller and Fox: “We don’t care about that at all. We just want our next child to be funnier.”
Anyone who sees this regurgitated cum bubble is dumber than any single joke in either movie. And folks, that’s pretty damn dumb.
Thanks Rotten Tomatoes!
The first movie was so bad. Yes, sadly, I DID watch it. I mean…it was extremely hard to watch. It’s disgusting that this movie made a considerable amount of money, and even more sad that a sequel will make it to the big screen.
This is corporate evil at its worst.
This was going to happen, we knew this. This movie mad alot of money and was geared for kids. The Fox was not going to let the chance to cash in pass them by.
They just needed Ben Stiller and since he is headed down the sellout path of Eddie Murphy, he was more than will to do this.
Just think next year we will have “Night At The Museum: Part 3″ but they won’t even bother paying Stiller and it will go straight to DVD. After that they will just turn it into a cartoon and produce a sequel a year.
It’s going to be great.
Eric, have you been moonlighting as a Hollywood executive?? Your plans for market saturation are ingenious!!!
@ Ray – Shhhhhhhhhh, don’t tell anybody, I have made millions of dollars doing this. Who do you think is responsible for the new Warner Brother straight-to-DVD branch.
If you have millions of dollars, then you need to hire a stylist and a secretary.
