Tintin Page 4

Um, I just watched the film earlier today. Tintin climbs through a porthole and into the cabin of the inebriated Haddock, who is startled and thinks Tintin is up to no good. Haddock shouts at him (I am paraphrasing cos I'm not going to get the DVD out of the bin) : "So, you thought you'd catch me with my trousers down!". To which Tintin sternly replies: "I'd rather you keep your trousers on, thanks very much." The whole point of this exchange is an effort by the filmmakers to quash the absurd notion that Tintin and Haddock are a couple of pooftahs.
'Um' okay. 
They could have been doing that, I watched it months ago. Does seem a pretty standard reply to what Haddock said though.
Completely out of character for Tintin to make a remark like that. Nothing even remotely like it ever appears in the books. Moffat or whoever put it in so that juvenile imbeciles would not be able to claim that Haddock and Tintin are a pair of vegemite drillers.

YOu may find quite a few differences in film adaptations from books/comics.

No, Madam, I am not Mr Cutts the butcher.
Lol.
Thank God Master Bates is not involved!
A lot of Gaul: why Asterix is better than Tintin: http://www.newstatesman.com/culture/2013/12/lot-gaul
The fellow who wrote this guff, Ian Sansom, could have saved a lot of time and words simply by writing: I am a complete f**kwit.
I adore Tintin and Asterix in equal measure. It's like arguing over whether Lennon or McCartney was best.
In singing the praises of the feeble Asterix and the Picts, this Sansom f**k-knuckle writes: "There is the usual battle with pirates and with a sea monster called Nessie ..."
Er no, there is no battle with Nessie, which is merely a copy of Fred Flintsone's Dino and one of several witless plot devices. The f**k does this guy review the book when he evidently hasn't read it?
The f**ktard, Ian Sansom, then goes on to suggest Tintin is French. Poor guy has complete shit for brains and should not have wasted his time penning this repellent horseshit.

Lennon, of course...no wait, McCartney...no, Lennon, definitivley...or McCartney?...ah, f*** off!

That is indeed embarrassing if you want to make your point but show your lack of "expert-knowledge" at the same time. Fabrique belgique, as Del Boy would say.
Personally, I prefer Tintin, because its setting is closer to my/our reality so I can relate to it a bit more. But Asterix is great fun too.

Moffat seems to be obsessed with pooftahs!
Or is it certain viewers projecting 'pooftahs' everywhere...

To be honest, I'm starting to think TV is obsessed with straight people. They're on every bleedin' programme!! We get it already...
Bloody straight mafia.
