So, in the Oscars - Live Blog I wondered aloud who might be cast in a live-action, all-female version of Alvin and the Chipmunks. Answer: Maggie Gyllenhaal as Alvin, Reese Witherspoon as Theodore, rest to be determined. Anyway, that was just me musing aloud (atype? ablog?), just bullshitting about something that wouldn't come to pass, right? Not even the criminally incompetent, the imaginationally impaired czars of a Hollywood studio would greenlight that kind of crap, you say? Well, you're only half-right. Apparently, there will be a live-action (cgi-supplemented) Chipmunks movie coming out this Christmas--though not a gender-bending one, sadly. Banky/Brodie from the Kevin Smith movies (apparently, a television star now?) is going to play emotionally abusive, PETA-hating record-producer/slavedriver/profiteer Dave Seville--hopefully as some sort of cross between Phil Spector and Bob Saget. Meanwhile, enjoy the oldie but goldie below...

this guy's a fucking triple threat:
Hill co-wrote and directed Fox's "Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties" and helmed Disney's "Max Keeble's Big Move" and Sony's "Muppets From Space."
