I'm quite looking forward to seeing the new movie.
I even got a couple of books from the library today, to have a little read for old times sake.
Anyone here a fan of the books? Or planning to see the movie?
Tintin
I used to read them, so nostalgia wise am intreagued.
I fapping love Tintin. I still read the books, and although at first I thought the film would be a bad idea, it actually looks really good from the trailers.
Apparently it's really good.

Which was nice

Same. Our library was ace. And it had a big fat cat.
I can't wait to see the movie, I loved Tintin books as a kid.
I hated Tintin. Little twat. Ugh there was nothing ever interesting funny or clever about any of his "adventures". F**k Off with that 'There's Something About Mary' hairstyle as well.
You are a wrong'n and no mistake.
There were hilaaaaaaaaarious bits. Not involving Tintin himself, obviously. But the funny characters were funny.
I used to judge my cartoons on their drawings. For example, Warners Brothers got a thumbs up. But Tintin had a weird art style that left me colder than...
