Tonight, I bring you the second part of my epic interview with the Spymunk. Enjoy!
<Anderson> 4) Who is the best Chipmunk?
Spymunk: The best chipmunk? I don't think that's something I can choose - they're all unique and I think the strength of the characters is how they interact with eachother. They really are a family - and you get a snese of that from the first songs through to the new movie - it's the same theme that's conveyed in every incarnation of the characters, but it's not that fake Family-Uber-Alles idea you get in so much of the family interaction.
<Anderson> 5) How would you seduce the Chipettes?
Spymunk: This requires some thought. Actually, I'd just listen to them! Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor always had good points in the Saturday-morning series, reasonable contributions - but the guys rarely listened to them until it was too late for their good advice to help. Sure, sometimes they were blinded by their own foibles, but too often they're ignored. I'd listen to them and treat them with respect. I know that people always talk about how girls don't respect a guy who treats them well - and Alvin and Brittany's relationship suffers from this sort of love/hate from time to time. But I like to think that they'd be pleasantly surprised to discover that there was a guy who cared about what they have to say. Of course, I'm sure that it would eventually degenerate into a bitchy gossip session about the guys. And what's wrong with that?
<Anderson> 6) How Would you seduce the Chipmunks?
Spymunk: Now this I can answer right off the top of my head. It's not like I've THOUGHT ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME or anything. Simon, I'd go to an observatory with him and watch the stars after a lecture about black holes or cosmic phenomenon. Simon loves to study astronomy. Theodore, I'd go with him out to a fancy Italian restaurant and ask him all kinds of questions about the different dishes we were eating. Alvin, I'd go with him to a rock concert - HARD rock! And then, of course, after whatever event I just described, we'd go back home to their place, and then we'd get down to the rimjobs.
<Anderson> 7) Why Rimjobs?
Spymunk: Why do you think?! I mean, come on! OK, that's not a fair answer. It's just an obsession I have. The very thought makes me crazy with insane intensity! I don't really know; It's just the perfect thing to me, like getting my chocolate into your peanut-butter or however it goes. Yeah. Alvin. Simon. Theodore. Rimjobs. What in the world could possibly be better? Nothing, that's what. Mmm. Aside from that, it's hot as hell as a general concept, to me at least. Yum. Yum yum yum.
<Anderson> 8) What's your favorite Chipmunks episode
Spymunk: Perhaps curiously, my favorite episode isn't really Alvin-centric. It's "Good Old Simon." It's an episode in which Simon is basically put-upon as the older brother to be the responsible one and we see how Dave really depends on him all the time to have to be the Good Son out of the three, and it gets to be too much for Simon. It's a great episode. Another one I love is "The Spy Who Bugged Me" about a visit to the Orient Express. But I love all the episodes before the switch over to Nelvana animation. After that point, a lot of the craft and skill drained out of it. THE CHIPMUNKS GO TO THE MOVIES is just painfully-drawn. Some ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS is better than none, but the Nelvana shows just feel really devoid of "the love" that clearly went into those pre-Nelvana episodes. I don't want to be negative about them, though. Don't you have more questions about rimming Alvin?
