Who here thinks Cecil the old night guard planned the whole ting to help make sure Larry could have a place as the new night guard and also ensure the museum lived on ?

To me Dick Van Dyke is such a good guy even when he acts thebad guy as here, it comes across to me that he actually specially selected Larry because he knew Larry would be able to shoulder the amazing job's duties. And then he planned the robbery to make sure Larry had a good chance with the musuem in the long term.

Their plan was to set Larry up as the Patsy when the old guys disappeared with the gold Amulet-they mentioned having planted artifacts from the Museum in Larry's apartment so He'd be suspected/arrested..so, not very helpful towards him..It was only that Larry got "into" the job by diligent study of the exhibits' backstory and learning stuff like certain command words that He was able to win through..Agreed,though,was interesting to see DVD play a baddie for a change!

If Book was in Intelligence B4 finding God,does that mean He's a Shepherd Spy? (Thank You,Spike..)

He's a great villain. :) But Mr. Dawes Sr. in Mary Poppins was kinda a bad guy in a way.

I love you, Kristen Stewart. :) You are so beautiful and talented. I would love to perform with you.
