TheBilcourt: Alvin and the Ghetto-munks

Alvin and the Ghetto-munks

Ughhhh....

Backstory time!

When I was little, I loved Alvin and the Chipmunks. It had to be one of my favorite cartoons on tv.(You remember back when Saturday morning cartoons we're awesome, unlike today's cartoons made for kids with ADD.) I had the McDonald's glasses, the stuffed animals, the Alvin and the Chipmunks cassette tapes, etc. When The Chipmunk Adventure came out in 1987, I was six and I thought it was one of the greatest things I had ever seen.

Back to the present.

The other day at work we received some posters. I looked at the tube and it said Alvin and the Chipmunks. I had heard they we're making a movie version, but I figured it would look like the cartoon. Boy was I wrong! I opened the tube to find this...

I honestly about fell on the floor in disbelief. I know its petty. It's a movie about a cartoon with singing chipmunks. But it is something that I hold special from growing up. I don't understand why Hollywood has to screw stuff up just to make a movie version of it. I will give Alvin the benefit of the doubt. His look is o...k.... but Simon and Theodore? What's up with that? I am going to hope that the poster is maybe just some kind of joke or something. I know the makers of the film are just going to say that their updating it and all. I hate that excuse! Everytime Hollywood makes a movie based on a tv show or movie they have to say their updating it for current audiences. To me, that is such a cop out line.

I can't wait to see what they do with The Smurfs. I bet they make them into blue native type people living in the Amazon or something. It's all just ridiculous.

This made me happy to read. Obviously, a lot of people think the movie looks dumb.
