Racist.
Hahahah!
Such realism. It's almost like a photo...
The one at the back looks like a poor attempt at Homer Simpson.
Maybe they pinched it. 
I see Marge in front of the dog too. Just give him taller hair.
Ab loody samazing! laugh! Dear me forgot racism totally?
It is funny, and a bit disturbing, but it didn't do me any harm!
I mean, all Africans are cannibals who cook people in pots and shrink Westerners heads, right?
Herge was not known as a very liberal figure,
There was one of those 'poltical correctness gone mad' guffaws a few years ago about some schools and libraries not stocking the Congo editions of TinTin. But is these silly journalists had taken some time to look at the brutal history of the Belgian Congo they might not have been so flippant.

Yes, I'm a lifelong fan. I collect the books in different languages, as it's a fun way to learn languages and translation techniques.
I have no desire to see the film.

hey I wrote a sketch on this film when it first was in development
I didn't get Tintin as a kid, just didn't get him. My neighbour had all the Tintin books and I had all the Asterix books. He borrowed mine to read, but all I could do is gaze at the covers of his Tintins. I still think they're the best thing about Tintin, great artwork. But now I have the patience to actually get through a Tintin adventure and they're not bad. I think I had chosen the wrong ones to read back then and they put me off, some of them are very complex stories. Still can't be doing with all that now, never mind as a young sprat.

I saw it today, at the behest of a friend. Crap on so many levels, but slightly better than I had expected. So much missing from the books, but definitely one of the better on-screen portrayals of Haddock - apart from the injection (by Hollywood/Moffat) of Haddock's cringingly awful motivational speech to Tintin about failure. The DVD is now consigned to the bin. Spielberg should have started with the Soviets, rather than meshing things together.
Have they ever made Tintin Lego?
They should.
