What!? They bump it for a sequal to the drek that was Alvin and the freakin' Chipmunks!? Hollywood idiocy at its finest.

Alvin and the Chipmunks made $350M worldwide, $218M domestic.

Seriously.

What would you have our kids watch, Stout? Baby Hamlet?

I know you're joking, but come on.

Sheesh, I'm not nearly that highbrow; in fact, I'm rather lowbrow (Kevin Smith films anyone?). I just think there are good, fun kid's movies (like the old Robin Hood cartoon, Aladdin, etc), and there are lowest common denominator ones like Alvin. No disrespect to anyone's siblings, but I just think this was a stupid movie, even for being a children's movie. And I'm a Jason Lee fan.

I agree, with the idea that we can challenge children more than we do sometimes. And I'm a chipmunk fan.

I agree we can challenge kids more than we do sometimes, too. But not all the time. There's a time and a place for teaching and expanding their minds, and there's a time and a place to let kids be kids.

If the kids like it, I'm not going to tell them it's too dumb for them to watch.

I'm sure you meant offspring, not siblings (I don't think my brother has seen it). But no one is defending the movie, just up in arms a bit that you basically called kids who liked it mentally challenged.

Before this I had heard only of Bruce Willis for Hannibal's character.

I think Cooper could do a pretty good job if he is indeed the choice. I always thought if this movie ever got done it would be Rob Lowe to play Face.

Well, there was that whole Moby Dick thing, Pequod's first mate, but we both know books are dumb.

I knew about the tv Starbuck, before I knew of the first mate guy.

But yes, books don't count.
