OK, so the original was campy, I still enjoyed it. I just saw on TBS that the sequel will be out Dec 3rd. I’ll probably watch it (if I remember.) ---

Tomorrow night, I’m there! I love the first Librarian movie, especially since that’s my line of work as well. ---

The Librarians at work had great fun playfully mocking the first one. I hope they remembered to record the sequel. ---

[QUOTE=Qadgop the Mercotan] Ook? [/QUOTE] [The original](http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0412915/) was pretty silly, but watchable if you have some time to waste. I’ll definately be there tomorrow for the sequel. ---

The original had some damn funny parts, but I guess it was unintentionally comical seeing Bob Newhart in a fight scene, 'cause he was pretty bad at it. ---

Alright, I’m bumping, because I _know_ I’m not the only one who watched it. Hell, I _Tivo’d_ it, because I wanted to sit down and enjoy it. I can’t help it. I like cheesy adventure movies. I like Noah Wyle. How could these two things together be bad? Okay, stupid question. Of _course_ it’s bad. But what’s so enjoyable is that the filmmakers, actors, and TNT _knew_ it was bad, and went ahead anyway. Why? _Because we like it_. I’ll say I liked the first one better, but if they make a third, me and my Tivo will be there. 🙂 ---

It didn’t catch me, even though I like cheesy adventure movies too. I will likely watch it some day, I’m sure that they’ll show it again, but I didn’t have the attention span that particular night.
