I know, I know.

You looked into the heart of darkness so I didn't have to. I guess I'm now a dead cat? ;)

So weird with all this retro stuff: Turtles, Transformers, Garfield, Chipmunks, possibly Thundercats...? :?

Half the kid audience the studios are trying to reach probably don't even remember these cartoons! :roll:


Hearing the trademark Chipmunk "speeded up/higher" voice in a live-action big budget film makes it seem more like a gimmick than ever....which it was, but it was a cute gimmick. Now it just seems tired. :?


I also found the teaser very questionable and I can only hope that scene doesn't make it to the actual film. :(

The teaser just looks stupid and why Jason Lee in it? Is he trying to kill his career?

Alright, guys. I have to see if this trailer lives up to all the "Hype". ;)

Let's see if I can download it.

If there was any film that was practically made for the Razzie Award, it's this one. :roll: :wink:

Guys, "Norbit" is a lock for this year's Razzies. Or, at least, it should be. ;)

I forgot to mention what I thought of the teaser; it started out ok, hearing the familar voice of Alvin was cool, but then it all went horribly wrong. The potty joke was just sick and wrong. And even worse was the 'prove it' line.

Jason, from that clip, was horrible as David. Espicially when he screamed "Alvin". :(

Yeah.

Dave saying that just felt so....wrong. :(

"Wrong".

Good word to describe this whole enterprise.

Mr Rednick's cousin's sister's father's son Sweeton, from Nowhereland USA, loved it, reportedly.

Sure to be a hit, then. :)
