There is No God, Round 2

July 5th, 2007 by Marty

I swear, if the world of pop culture keeps ‘delivering’ with great ideas like these, There Is No God will be the latest thing here on Dead of Summer.

Anyway, walking out of Transformers for the 2nd time last night, I was greeted by this visage of the apocalypse…

I know we talk a lot about our ‘childhoods being raped’, but for fuck’s sake WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HOLLYWOOD WHEN THIS IS A GOOD IDEA?!

How did that pitch meeting go?

“Hey, you know how 80’s properties are hot right now?”
“Absolutely, I just blew through a kilo of coke on Transformers-hype alone!”
“You know what franchise REALLY needs to be resurrected?”
“Rainbow Brite?”
“God no, the rainbow wouldn’t play in the red states…I’m thinking ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS!”
“HELL YES! COKE FOR EVERYONE!”
“But one thing…we need to urbanize them…say…15-20%?”
“I’ll have our CG guys whip something together in 10 minutes, we’ll start filming next week.”

And seriously…Jason Lee as DAVE? Mr. Lee, I used to love you. And I thought you loved us too. I know, mortgages need to be paid…but is this really worth it?

*sigh* I hate everything.

    I am all over this.
    There will be no doubt that they will most likely be a chipmunk boy band.
    Atleast, that’s what I’m guessing.
    However, Jason Lee puts me in the seat. Hello Underdog!
    When he yells Alvin for the first time it is going to be awesome.
    Just look at Simon… Lookin’ all fresh.

    I lost love for Jason Lee when I learned he was a Scientologist. That negates any amount of cool he ever was.

    Thats travesty, oh well, couldn’t be worse than F***ING GARFIELD…

    It helps that I forget about the scientology.
    Banky/Broadie in any role is still top notch.
    There isn’t too many actors I really like that much.
    It’s kind of a default really.
    Stupid aliens and their science…
    *walks away muttering.

    I got my fingers crossed its at least PG-13 and A Very Brady Sequel-ish.

    Did Jason Lee just have kids? That’s when Eddie Murphy started doing childrens movies. …but at least Murph’s were pretty funny.

    (by the way) ghostfreehood is my new homepage.

    Jason Lee does have a son who is 4…the strangely named Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf Lee (yes, Inspektor.)

    …maybe you’re on to something with that. Doing the family films so his son has a movie to see…
