about time

Tintin on the big screen. this may not be exciting for you but i used to read the comics all the time when i was a kid, in fact, i remember being bribed to do housework/chores in return for them. i used to have the entire collection. dreamworks announced they are starting production and it should be out in two years. i'm glad they are keeping him animated though. you can tell my parents were euros by the fact that i used to read these comics. they were originally written in french i believe, produced by herge, outta belgium. there will have to be drastic upgrades to the dialog though, they played on stereotypes and racism pretty hard, written mid century from that white european elitist perspective.... when the sun never set on the british empire. welcome to stardom, capt'n braddock, professor calculus, the thompsons and snowy. i do not look forward to the revival of my tintin nickname though.

whats next? ...asterix and oblelisk? naw ...they'd never be able to sell the idea of a movie about a bunch of frenchies(gauls) beating up on the rest of the world... its just not plausible or realistic or even possible... RIEN!
