Chipettes Joining Alvin, Chipmunks in Animated Evil Axis

For anyone who follows this blog with any regularity, you know that Alvin and the Chipmunks is a film I have given strict attention and focused disgust. The already-grating rodents have been made more annoying, strangely sexualized, devoid of charm, and, most catastrophically, more omnipresent than ever. (I'm aware this wasn't a movie being targeted to my demographic, but neither was the Holocaust, and I still vocally disapprove of that.)

Now, with the horror show nearly passing the $200 million mark at the box office, it was only a matter of time before the painful news of a sequel rose, and it's worse than I could have imagined: they're bringing in the Chipettes. Start the countdown until the poster of Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor dressed as fly girls.

“There has been a lot of talk about it,” revealed Janice Karman, one of the film’s producers. “A lot of people have been asking about the little girls.”

That's interesting that people asked that. See, if I'd actually spent money and watched Alvin and the Chipmunks, I don't think "where were the little girls?" would have been my first question. I'd have probably started with "what inspired the whole shit eating part?", "did you digitally erase Jason Lee's soul, or was that already gone when you started filming?", or maybe just "what the f***?" I'd probably only get to the desire to double the number of chipmunks much later, when I realized I wanted to die.

So how about Parker Posey as the Chipettes' wrangler? Like Jason Lee, she really has that magical combination of Why Are You Here? and I Can Sort of See Why You're Here.
