अनामित म्हणाले...: STOP! You should not inform people about this other imposter Tintin. The real Tintin is Spielberg's. It always has been. There is no Belgian version; and if there is mention of one, it is a fake.

Keep linking to this shit and you can expect to get sued for copyright infringement. Or maybe Spielberg will ask the U.S. Regime to take you out in a drone attack, since you are clearly a threat to god-given American commercial interests.; १६/१०/११, ७:२१ PM
edutcher म्हणाले...: Never a huge fan of Spielberg (the blood fetish and the "make the girls squeal with something gross" fetish get old fast), I can only imagine what he does with it.

Some things really are better left alone.; १६/१०/११, ७:५१ PM
ricpic म्हणाले...: From the review:

...even if Jamie Bell wasn't so monotonously earnest as Tintin, he'd still look about as conscious as a bollard with a quiff.

A bollard with a quiff. Haven't the foggiest what that translates to in American-English. Not particularly curious to find out either. But I am encouraged that all the technological advances in the world still haven't succeeded in erasing our quirky and endearing differences.; १६/१०/११, ८:१३ PM
R.L. Hunter म्हणाले...: A bollard is a post used to prevent traffic from entering someplace like a bike path and a quiff is Tintin's hairstyle.; १६/१०/११, ८:३४ PM
The Dude म्हणाले...: ही टिप्पणी लेखकाना हलविली आहे.; १६/१०/११, ८:४२ PM
ricpic म्हणाले...: My goof. I thought it was Brit slang for sure. Thanks, R.L.; १६/१०/११, ८:४५ PM
Joan म्हणाले...: I could never understand the passion some had for the Tintin books. Asterix the Gaul -- now there was a comic hero well worth reading. None of this earnest cub reporter stuff -- just great word play, clever characters, and the perennial Gaulish underdogs trouncing their Roman occupiers, once again.; १६/१०/११, ८:५२ PM
Balfegor म्हणाले...: the perennial Gaulish underdogs trouncing their Roman occupiers, once again.

Pah! Gallia pacata est. Or erat, I suppose, the Gallic provinces having fallen into grievous disorders since the collapse of imperial authority.; १६/१०/११, ९:२२ PM
YoungHegelian म्हणाले...: I'd be happy to be proved wrong, but I think Peter Jackson's best work was & will always be LotR.

When I saw the abortion that was his re-make of King Kong, I knew that this was a man who would never, ever, again be convinced to properly edit his films. He was just lucky that LotR demanded a sprawling canvas, because it's the only way he knows how to paint.; १६/१०/११, ९:५९ PM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: My favorite Peter Jackson movie is "Heavenly Creatures."; १६/१०/११, १०:१४ PM
MadisonMan म्हणाले...: He's dead on that the eyes are just not well done in the linked-to clip. Rather reminds me of Thunderbirds from back in the 60s.; १६/१०/११, १०:१७ PM
David R. Graham म्हणाले...: One of Liszt's contemporary partisans commented publicly to the effect that a cymbal clash by Liszt carried more artistic content than a symphony by Brahms.

Moral: everything is incomparable.; १७/१०/११, १:४९ AM
Bob_R म्हणाले...: Never was a big fan of Tintin. On the other hand there are a lot of good comics and there are not a lot of watchable hybrid animation movies. The trailer looks just awful.; १७/१०/११, ७:२१ AM
