We didn’t bother to see the first “Alvin and the Chipmunks” movie, (who did?) but a sequel, due Christmas 2009, is already in the works. The main cast is returning including David Cross, who has taken flack from fellow stand-up comedians for selling out by appearing in the first one. The sequel, that has no writer or director, will be called, “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel.” Right now, we are contemplating adding squeakuel to our computer’s dictionary to save us from the annoying red underline that pops down beneath words that aren’t real. Fuck it, squeakuel is now real. God dammit!
Our guess how it went down: Jason Lee, Justin Long, and David Cross were all getting baked before a script read through when Lee says, “God, I hope we don’t make another one of these!” “You’re telling me,” says Cross. “At least your participation in this piece doesn’t go against everything you stand for. Long you’re lucky, no one even knows its your voice.” Long pipes in, “What would they even call it?” “A squeakuel,” Lee says, crying while shaving his mustache. From there, an unpaid intern heard the word squeakuel and immediately brought it to the producer’s attention in hopes of some name recognition. Here is a link to more information about the movie. Please don’t click on it. Sadly, this is a piece that we found by ourselves. Yes, leave us home alone, and this is what we find!
