Oct 3 2007AM Poster Post: 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' Still Love Old Hip-Hop
Back in July, I posted a similar poster of Alvin and the Chipmunks in hip-hop clothes that also included the looming head of Jason Lee. Rightfully, it was met with a huge negative outcry. Why were the chipmunks dressed like a vague recollection of Run-DMC as furries? No one could answer this.
In response, they've made a new poster that charitably omits Jason Lee but maintains these idiotic get-ups and adds what I believe to be a half-hearted attempt at a reference to HBO's Entourage. Well done, guys. You've definitely cleared up any issues we had with the original poster.

let's see... what could they bastardize next? hmmm... i've got it! Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood!!! Mr. Rogers could be a dealer, with Mr. McFeely as his drug mule (giving new meaning to "speedy delivery!"), and Lady Elaine Fairchilde cold be the hooker with a heart of gold. now, write me a check.

Alvin and the Chimpmonks are not an entourage, they are the performers. Unless by saying original entourage, they mean like the people on the show entourage this new incarnation of the chipmonks are foul-mouthed, whore-mongering, coke-sniffing, empty-headed, hollywood husks.

hmm...well, with all fairness they did don wigs when they covered the beatles...Chipmunks do the Beatles

using "bastardizing" as a term indicates that what's being "bastardized" is somehoe pure, or holy, or not crap.
i'm sorry, but alvin and the chipmucks was pretty shitty, as was most of the crap saturday morning poured down your throats during your precious childhood.
face it, nothing has been violated since it was all shit to begin with.

I don’t get it… unfortunately I did watch Alvin and the chipmunks on Saturday mornings as a kid and they always wore long “t-shirts” or this odd variety of mu-mu… looks to me like they just updated them a bit with a hoodie and those god awful hangover sunglasses.

...........why?..............

I thought this movie came out and failed already.
I really wish someone connected to this picture would explain why this movie makes sense to them. I'd love to try and understand, to see the reasons, because where I sit I see a stinkin' pile of Alvin, Theodore, and Simon........

What the fuck happened to Jason Lee? The guy has a kid and went from lovable sarcastic shithead skater dude (Mallrats through Jersey Girl) to cornball family guy (Incredibles, Earl, Underdog, Alvin and the Chipmunks).
Take the money and run, Brodie Bruce.

on my god I loooooooooooooooooooooooooove the chipmunks they are so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute ahhh I am so excited.
I don't care what anyone says with all the fucking hideous shit in the world and by that I mean Brtitney and her fatness I happen to enjoy easy going lighthearted cute little movies like this. Seriously next time you find yourself hating the world and all the fat ugly losers in it, wondering why so much bad shit happens, being stressed out of your mind because you don't have two cents to rub together just watch a kids movie and say fuck it. I'll deal with it tommorrow. Unless you're stressed about your air traffic control job or something, then um deal with it asap. I've seen the biggest toughest men and snot faced intellectuals losen up and really enjoy a good lighthearted kiddie shows.
It's good for ya people, you can't be so fucking up yourself that your afraid of enjoying a kids movie. Don't take yourselves so seriously.
But ya the whole advertising for this is ridiculous.Bbut what advertising isn't I mean can you ever respect advertising? NO, it's all lies and bullshit and massive lameness.
The only good advertising would be a "we want your money jingle" and then some stupid voice saying "here is our over priced shitty product (show dramtic "exciting" images of hot people with shit product). There is probably something better an less expensive out there that you could buy instead. But we want your money so you know... give it to us. And here is a picture of a baby panda, if you don't buy our product he'll die. You don't hate baby panda's do you? Now go buy our wotrthless shit or you can kiss Mr. Patchy goodbye (show the panda again)." The End.

*oh my god
that was a freudian slip I guess I was thinking about sex with my hubby last night. On my god screaming oh my god.
16. kirsten dunst - October 3, 2007 3:09 PM
giggity giggity. they're going to remake everything that was once a hit, just so they can ruin it. this is all part of how the world will end.
17. Tony - October 3, 2007 3:15 PM
The little "The original entourage" comment doesn't even make sense. They're all member sof the group.
18. Geoff - October 3, 2007 3:43 PM
I think we should get revenge by making "Good Times" into a movie about white people who have no problems.
19. Celebutard Hater - October 3, 2007 3:48 PM
Earlier comments reminded us that Alvin and his brothers (bros, now?) sucked ass. Yet, this hideous poster also reminds us that you can always suck harder. I thought CGI Garfield was rock bottom, but it seems that Hollywood sure can do a lot worse. Word.

a new level of "GAY"
21. Spongebob Gangsta - October 3, 2007 4:03 PM
Ahem has it occured to ANYONE why they're dressed in Run DMC style...maybe because they were POPULAR in the 1980s...just a thought....
22. Riotboy - October 3, 2007 5:21 PM
That's not Hip-Hop!!
/that's Flip-Flop
//sad

Has anybody considered the fact that maybe the marketing behind this movie was done so to create a controversy and get people talking about it? Well, you know what they say, bad PR is still PR.
If you watch the teaser trailer, you see all three chipmunks and none of them are in b-boy getup at all.
Now...the movie still looks terrible regardless, but I think its funny to watch all you good little sheep make fun of the movie thus drawing more and more attention to it just like the producers and advertisers are counting on.
Such a good little pack of monkeys.

I think Hollywood should remake Fat Albert, using white kids with no problems.
25. bionic bunny - October 3, 2007 8:56 PM
uh, folks, hate to break it to you, but the chipmunks were popular in the (late 50's?) early sixties. along with their human, "dave".
i didn't even know they had come back in the 80's.
26. Jefe - October 3, 2007 10:05 PM
Are they still going to sing The Beach Boys Songs?
27. Big Dumb Oaf - October 3, 2007 10:15 PM
Does anyone have a closeup of Johhny Fairplays face hitting the stage after attacking Danny?
28. JohnyG - October 3, 2007 11:12 PM
Great. First they look like Run-DMC and now they look like 1985 Beastie Boys. Why do I get the feeling the next poster will have the female chipmunks look like Sheila E's old group and bring up a remake of Krush Groove?

wot the hell is with those nasty smiling hamsters ???
30. jo - October 4, 2007 12:26 AM
if you hate it so much, why are you giving it all this attention and posting it on all your blogs?
31. sidenote - October 4, 2007 1:02 AM
From what I've heard from people related to people that worked on it, the character models are still changing. That's my theory as to why they're dressed as b-boys: they're just covering up what you won't recognize when the actual movie hits screens.

All I want for Christmas is that image of Theodore from the Original Poster and the words Hip Hop 1977-2007 RIP underneath it
33. Conspiersy - October 4, 2007 4:31 AM
In all seriousness... the new original material is awesome. Give it a chance. The Chipmunks are new and improved.
34. shawn - December 4, 2007 11:26 PM
your all idiots...
jesus, it's just a movie...the trailer looks cute...calm down
make your own movie if you don't like what's out there

35. Joe - December 28, 2007 5:16 PM
Yeah that's clever, calm everybody down by calling them all idiots, glad we have a voice of reason on this post.........
