Peter Jackson is making The Hobbit
KharBevNor:
Yeah, I guess Spielberg would have a lot of trouble capturing the colonialism, racism and nazi collaboration aspects!
LOW BLOW.

Why? The books were translated into English, weren't they? In fact, not just translated into English, but thoroughly Anglicised. Should we pronounce everything Tintin says in a French (or French-Belgian, if there's a difference) accent?
TheFuriousWombat:
No, but Tintin is a French name. What he says is in english but that doesn't mean his name is suddenly english. It's spelled the same in both languages, it's not an english name, and it aught to be pronounced correctly.

Probably. He's not a very good director. After all he's recently made War of the Worlds, The Terminal, Minority Report and AI. The 2000s are not treating him well and I don't see why this should change things. He hasn't made a decent movie in almost a decade.
Tom:
Then how do you propose that we Anglophones aught to pronounce it?
