Well, it's coming out this week. The "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movie.
The movie summary on Yahoo is one sentence long... which pretty much says how complex the plot is: "Three chipmunk brothers, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore are adopted by a man named Dave. "
Yep, that's it. That's the entire summary. I expect another "Garfield" and "Underdog" fiasco.
Maybe they'll get eaten by a fox or a hawk or something. Then at least we can be sure there won't be sequels. >:3
it will be a dark tale involving rape
probably
i hope that i can tell the difference between them, or it'll be hell on earth!

And so it was that too many lurkers took Bill's comments as truth, and thusly were the theaters packed with furverts seeking chipmunk rape... D:
totally my bad :B
Bill, you've ruined modern cinema. I hope you're happy.

Unfortunately, not even this can cheer Bill up.

Well it already has mild Scheizer Porn in it so rape wouldn't be much worse.

It's a tale about a grown man living alone who takes in 3 innocent young chipmunks... you do the math! :O
It quicklt turns into a "Law & Order: SVU" episode. :>

I'll reitterate my earlier statement. The fact that the movie ACTUALLY contains Scheizer Porn is twisted. Everything else is just funny by comparisson.

the best thing about SVU is how fat that guy got in the offseason
seriously, how did he do that?
we have had several of these, we should just have a semi-permanent 'movies that are an abomination unto at least twelve different gods' thread
underdog and chipmunks both seem to have been made by people who have NEVER seen the original, and only heard about it from someone who saw it once back in the 80s when he was stoned.
its epic fail, and it hurts to even look
I really wish they didn't go with the "size of real chipmunk" thing.
Does Hollywood hate anthros? Seriously? Underdog is NOWHERE near as cool when he isn't a shoe shine boy! Superheros do not make good pets to annoying little boys!
As for the Chipmunks, they aren't as cool when they can't be annoying on a person sized scale. Somehow a 3 inch chipmunk riding a bike, doing lab experiments, or eating a whole hoagie just doesn't seem right. Not to mention being singers...

Yes. Hollywood MUST hate anthros, because political correctness won't let them go after anything else, except Christians, but they're too afraid to go after them too much after seeing how much money Christian-themed movies have brought in.
That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. Hollywood hates furries! Now I can sue them for attacking my 'lifestyle choice'! Soon I shall be very rich... >:3
actually hollywood likes furries, so many movies have badly done furries and they know its a good way to sell to kids.... however there are no furries IN hollywood so they don't have a clue how to make them good, closest they can get is a talking animal with 'tude', a catchphrase, and a whole shelf of merchandise

Not to mention that movie steals the whole point of his name. He's called Underdog because his, cartoon, costume was a pair of long red underwear.

I don't care so much about the costume as I do having his real name be Shoe Shine Boy! DX
I hated the previews...and i will not ever see the movie. They ruin a lot of things now adays when it comes to movies

it is awesome
Well, the results are in.
The critics pretty much overall despised it.
But people audiences were defending it with the old excuse "It's great for little kids!" That was the same excuse used for the horrific Disney abomination "Chicken Little".
And it was #2 in theaters with a shocking $45 million opening weekend.
I can't say it surprises me. Number one is "I Am Legend", yet another mutant-virus-kills-almost-everyone. It's an "Omega Man" remake mixed with a bit of "28 Days Later". I don't care how well written or acted it is, the fact remains that it's utterly unorgininal, and uses a plot that's so cliche as to become comical in the past decade, ie "Shawn of the Dead".
Maybe it's enough to warrent a #1 spot during a period where there really aren't any other good movies. But $76 million? People really must have nothing to do.

"Omega Man" was a remake of the original "I Am Legend", made in 1954.

And that makes my point even better! Enough with the damn zombie movies already! Unless.. we have a movie showing things from the zombie's POV... Zombies have feelings too! >:3
zombies were awesome in the Xbox 360 game "Dead Rising"
the only problem i have with most zombie features or games is they arent realistic- its just BAM, zombies, and lots of contrived plot devices and people who do incredibly stupid things.
take the approach from 'the zombie survival guide' and 'world war z' and do it realistically. for instance, theyre zombies, they cant figure out how to open a damned doorknob and cant muster the ability to climb a ladder. why run screaming and bypass many good weapons in order to lock yourself into a place with many glass windows when you could just run up some stairs.
other then that i like zombies, and i now like the critics for despising the chipmunks.
whats really the point of making a movie 'for little kids' when your using characters designed to attract people who were kids in the 80s? its like if they had made the transformers movie a small children's flick where nobody gets injured and the guns shoot NERF
Speaking of the "Transformers", there's a new series of them on Cartoon Network. The animation looks pretty bad. It's a very sad thing when 20-year-old TV animation looks better than the modern product. :<

Yeah, they look like a half-assed style of Teen Titans.
And that's saying something.

Actually, it was based on Richard Matheson's book, I Am Legend, which is pretty much the original modern Vampire novel (well, the first to come after Bram Stoker's), and the inspiration of the Zombie thriller.
So what you're looking at is the original--the first new vampire/zombie story of the 20th Century. All the others were based off of it. Night of the Living Dead was based off of it, so much so that Matheson called it a cornball interpretation.
The basic structure of the book (which I haven't read, but have heard multiple people discuss in detail) is that a disease has taken hold of all of the world, turning them into what appears to be vampires (craving blood, resistant to sunlight and garlic, the whole nine yards).
The main character, an immune man named Robert Neville, knows that there's no such thing as vampires, so he tries to come up with a scientific explanation for why everybody is behaving like that.
During the day, he goes around killing vampires. This takes a toll on him, and he begins to show signs of insanity. Does that make him crazy or is it a normal coping skill? Is he a reliable narrator?
The most powerful part of the book is its ending:
At the end, Neville is captured by some of these creatures. Unfortunately for Neville, some of these creatures are not vampires. Some people have discovered a way to mitigate the disease, but they still look like vampires during the day. So some of the `vampires' that Neville has been killing are in fact normal people who just look like vampires.
These other people now have to battle the illness, the vampires...and Robert Neville. Robert Neville becomes a horror story that these people tell their children to watch out for. And when they kill Neville, no truth will remain about his life--he will have become a legend.
Meh, the best way to fix problems like that is to blow up the Earth!
Then nobody has to worry about who was a zombie and who wasn't! :3

"Hello in there... I'm here to deliver some food."
"Are you a zombie?"
"Are YOU?"
"Don't sass me, boy. Just answer the question."
"For heaven's sake, can't you tell? My voice isn't all rasping and sepulchral, now is it?"
"Yeah, well mine isn't always like that either, but- uh, I mean..."
"Ah-HAH!"
"Nice going Larry. Now he's on to us."
