* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Immediately following intermission, the film lingers for an inordinate amount of time on the Museum's paddle ball barker, who at one point directs his and his paddle's attention to the camera and references "someone with a bag of popcorn," which seems to come out of nowhere (only when one realizes that the film was experimenting with 3D technology at the time of its release - and was thus trying to engage with the audience in the theater and enrich the experience - does this make sense; but on its own without context it comes completely out of left field). It gets even weirder when the barker shows up for a second time, after Sue and Scott leave the building, and randomly starts popping the paddle's balls into his mouth while looking at the camera - which, for some reason, causes one of the Museum spectators to faint for the SECOND time.
