Blistering barnacles!

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost playing Inspectors Thompson and Thomson. Awesome.

Tintin? I think the best way to do that movie would be 2D in the very detailed comic book tone that the original has, myself - like the illustrations moving.

I liked the books, the very datedness of them is part of their odd charm.

That's easy. Tin-tin is Rin's last name.

Heck, I remember him from way back before he changed his name from Zinc-zinc.

I love the Tintin books to death, but I still am unsure that it could ever possibly make a decent live-action movie.

I thought they already made a Thunderbirds movie... and badly, too.

/F.A.B.

I remember reading Tin-Tin in a children's magazine, about the size of a Reader's Digest, but I can't for the life of me remember the title. But I remember absolutely loving the stories!

/Gonna have to get hold of some of the books--it's been a LONG time...

I only got into Tin-Tin for the Fox Terrier.



Ahh yes. Back when this was the breed en vogue and had all kinds of comic and bad-assery linked to it. In movies anyway.

^{/Go Asta!}

Asta was The Thin Man, not Tin Tin, I know. I know my movie dogs.

Let's hope it's not the one where he goes to the Congo.

King Leopold FTgenocidalW!!

/hotlinked, of course

I thought they tabled this, periodically.

Tin-tin? Why, he's an unattached, soft-spoken, intellectual, globe-trotting young man who owns a small terrier lapdog named Snowy, and spends much of his time in the company of an unattached globe-trotting, gruff-speaking older sea captain.

There's absolutely nothing gay about this!

Wait? Who said he was gay? I didn't say he was gay. Stop judging him!

The Tin-tins? That's not my name!! (new window)

GungFu: The Tin-tins? That's not my name!! (new window)

Love them. This is even better: Link (new window)

GungFu: The Tin-tins? That's not my name!! (new window)

my god that made my ears bleed

Who is going to plays Alcazar and Tapioca?

/so stoked for this movie

oldebayer: Heck, I remember him from way back before he changed his name from Zinc-zinc.


/but seriously...why?

Tin Tin, the boring little bald kid? Couldn't we have something entertaining, hell I'd even take a King Kong 2 over this crud.

MDGeist: Tin Tin, the boring little bald kid? Couldn't we have something entertaining, hell I'd even take a King Kong 2 over this crud.

You shut your whore mouth!

The Tintin books/TV show was awesome!

Peter:

Dude. Seriously. You are to do nothing until a colossally ass-kicking Blu-Ray collection of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy with remixes, remasters, and animated menus is available. No more Kong. No more producing South African killer shrimp movies. Nothing.

I have spoken.

Woah!

rmz: I love the Tintin books to death, but I still am unsure that it could ever possibly make a decent live-action movie.

Could be why they're not doing that. It's all CG, they've been filming for motion-capture.

Doing it as computer animation is just begging for a punch in the mouth.

I loved the Tintin books as a kid. I really hope this turns out to be decent.

RocketRod: I thought they already made a Thunderbirds movie... and badly, too.

/F.A.B.




Played TinTin in Thunderbirds...

//F.A.P.

Will there be a scene where Peter Jackson polishes the Tin Tin's horn and makes magical unicorn mayonnaise?

In other article relevent news, I think it is a mistake to give The Hobbit to del Toro. He is good, but he only has one style and I'd really rather not have The Hobbit turned into Hellboy 3.

In another 10 years people will think of him in the same way they think of Tim Burton or M. Night Shamalamadingdong, or whatever his name is.

Also, this.



/hot

Maybe I'm a bit of a fag for bringing it up, but Tin-Tin? Tin Tin?
Dude, his name is one word.

I hope they do a good job of it, but the cartoon was always a great version of the books as it was.

Isn't Tin Tin french ?

I'll say it whenever I darn well please.

Who the heck is Tintin?

feanturi: rmz: I love the Tintin books to death, but I still am unsure that it could ever possibly make a decent live-action movie.

Hadn't heard that. Interesting...CG could be decent (or terrible), depending on the style. I'll reserve judgement.

Anyone else remember his disastrous foray into rap music under the name Sn²?

bigmattress: /hotlinked, of course

Fire it up! Fire it up! Fire it up!

That coor's light ad is pissing me off.

bukketmaster: but seriously...why?

Market research showed that Zinc-zinc was too galvanizing, but Tin-tin seemed like a canny choice.

/You asked.

emotion_lotion: Isn't Tin Tin french ?

Belgian.

coco ebert: emotion_lotion: Isn't Tin Tin french ?

Don't think you can round the swearing filter like that!

Don't worry. We're being shunned by the galaxy anyway, so no-one needs to know.

Hender: Simon Pegg and Nick Frost playing Inspectors Thompson and Thomson. Awesome.

That sounds quite good actually. I think I want to see this. Hopefully it will be the one where they go to the moon.

Toast and marmalade for tea,
Sailing ships upon the sea,
Aren't lovelier that you,
Or the games I see you play.

You more lovely than the day,
When the sun is in your eyes,
I see through your disguise,
All the games I see you play.

/obscure?

"Who the heck is Tin-tin?"

TFA: As for The Hobbit, we previously mentioned that the first script was completed, but Jackson spilled more info to the BBC. He mentioned that he was scouting locations in New Zealand prior to arriving in London, and that there would be continuity between his film's and Guillermo Del Toro's Hobbit:

so they're making "Hobbit" and "The Hobbit"?
I heard about there being two movies but at least come up with decent names

Can't wait to see it.

It ought to be a fine collaboration.

Gordon Bennett: Hender: Simon Pegg and Nick Frost playing Inspectors Thompson and Thomson. Awesome.

That sounds quite good actually. I think I want to see this. Hopefully it will be the one where they go to the moon.

Pegg and Frost are quite possibly going to steal every scene they are in, and I will be in the theater to witness it. I liked the TV series, and saw some of the comics. I just hope the rest of the cast is as verbally expressive as Pegg and Frost can be so that the characters come through.

/Tintin is awesome
