Alvin and the Chipmunks Movie
 I remember all the backlash the Transformers movie redesigns received, and I was a faggot about that (BUT IT'S COOL NOW THAT THE MOVIE IS RELEASEDDON'TYOUJUDGEME!)... but holy shit. Just... lmao. "Yeah, bettah get you some of these acorns, nigga." Dipset or G-Unit, Alvin? What's it going to be? Or perhaps an independent label? http://imdb.com/title/tt0952640/ <-- You be the judge I guess, I realize IMDB's stigma. Jam it back in, in the dark.

They don't appear to be "strapped." They must have left their "pieces" in the low rider. Dawg.

WORD LIFE! It would have been gold if they had John Cena voice Alvin.
Also, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HOLLYWOOD? Why do they have to take everything from my childhood and "urbanize" it? This makes me want to cry, srsly. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I saw that one all the time as a kid, rented the Laser disk version so many times in Hong Kong... The DVD is out as well, and I have it.

So, we're going to ruin Alvin and the Chipmunks now? Just like when you ruined Ninja Turtles with TMNT III? Perfect, just perfect. The Chipmunks are not rappers, dammit! The closest they ever got was singing to Beat It by Michael Jackson. Shit, I own the record but it's scratched to hell.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?  John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |

After the initial laugh, I can only wonder if it's just a whole "Chipmunks trying to be image conscious" plot. "Stick to your roots" or something. Because after the initial "lol", I can't really seriously believe they'd completely go another direction without some kind of reason other than "We really don't get it."

Good god, what have they done? Yet another one of my favorite childhood memories tarnished. Is there any way this movie can be good? I hope so, but I'm not holding out.

Okay....
First Alvin and the Chipmunks started as a recording group in the late '50's. They became a cartoon in the early '60's--reflecting the current times--and making music, by the way. The cartoon didn't last long, but the singing did.... Twenty years later, the gang showed up again on television--once again reflecting contemporary times. Doing covers of popular songs, and so forth. Then there's the animated movie... That cartoon was canceled after a long time on the air--but we still remember the songs.... And now, Alvin and the Chipmunks are being put into the movies in CGI form.... Bad? Good? Who knows? In each visual incarnation, they've reflected the world around them. And, it seems once again, they're doing just that. FELIPE NO |

Where as this monstrosity is just Hollywood butchering classics and turning them "Urban" to "connect" with the audience.

In this thread we have people going "poo-poo" on this movie because it's different from 20 years ago. The cartoon at THAT time was different from the one 20 years before that. So, would those who watched the original "poo-poo" the '80's one for the same reasons the folks in this thread are? What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

It's inaccurate to say Alvin and company reflected contemporary pop culture because they filtered heavily to keep things wholesome and inoffensive. When they came back in the 80s, were they doing covers of Duran Duran or KISS? Did the Chipmunks ever sing Money for Nothing? They're not even trying to preserve the spirit of the original concept, they're just exploiting the name recognition factor of a time-honored piece of nostalgia. It's the same as the Dukes of Hazzard, Charlie's Angels, Bewitched, and so on and so forth. They went straight for the hip-hop angle solely for the shock value, whether it was appropriate for the original concept or not. It's the Chipmunks in name only, there to make a few quick bucks from the few curious, foolish souls who will pay to see just how badly their childhood has been shat upon. FELIPE NO  |

Yea they are doing just that, but certain viewers don't have to accept it. And I'm pretty sure people from the 50's and 60's had the same reaction. I wouldn't know how the chipmunks were in that time period, I was born in '82 >_>.
