Alvin and the Chipmunks Movie

I have to say that several of the posters in this thread along with the people who made that poster are grossly out of touch with contemporary urban wear.

Simon and Theodore's look are circa 1989 and hoodies came into popularity in the early 90's.

As for any of them being current or past "gangster images." False (Except for maybe Alvin, but hooded sweatshirts are so ubiquitous that his look certainly can't be pigeon-holed as "gangster" ) Rapist or Unibomber? yes

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I know. I mentioned that ("they are so ubiquitous "). My point is that they've been part of pop culture for so long saying they're gangster is silly.

As for Chippets I expect mid-drifts that expose belly fur, and lip gloss. Lots and lots of lip gloss.

(also look for plenty of cell phone product placement all around).

Most amazing jew boots

While I haven't seen the Bratz trailer I think I can picture what it will be like. When you think about the target audience for The Bratz of course everyone here will want to shit on it. The more we don't like it the more on target it probably is. The Chipmunks on the other hand didn't really show much. What it definitely has going for it is the voices. What it got wrong was the size. I don't know about their original incarnation, but I know in the 80's they were in the 4.5 ft range. They surely weren't actual chipmunks. With that in mind I don't see how the plot can possibly mimic anything anyone here is used to. Outside of them being big stars their interactions with other people has to be different.

All of that said, it could quite possibly be an enjoyable movie. That is if you don't try to make it the Alvin and the Chipmunks you're used to, but just a movie with pop-star Chipmunks. (Pixar's track record aside) if you can get behind a movie with rats cooking food for humans is this idea really so bad?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Fact: They aren't the same size as they were in the 80s. I said nothing of whether it was a good or bad thing.

Beyond that aren't we basically saying the same thing about the possible quality of the movie?

He's going to have to get more used to screaming at tennis balls with large As on them

I was speaking idiomatically.
