Tintin

The Cheesinator:
I really don't have enough of these...only about 8. I have two episodes of the show on VHS, but my VCR is busted. Quite a sad state of affairs. The racism thing was just a stereotype of Western bigamy of the period, that's all. I think it's just supposed to show how silly some of the myths we attribute to people we don't know really are.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blake_and_Mortimer ---- something similar that I'd like to read, although it seems that I'd have to drive to Quebec, and then try to read it in French.

axerton:
Guys, you're all missing the most vital point, the script for these are being written by Steven Moffat, possibly one of the greatest screen writers I have ever seen. This for those who don't know is the guy who wrote Jekyll, Coupling, some of the best of the new doctor who stories (The empty child, the girl in the fire place, blink, silence in the library) and for those of you old enough to remember it Press Gang.

I can't wait for this to be released. 

LucyStag:
That is not the vital point, but it is an added creamy center of pure awesome. Of course, the latest Moffat-penned "Dr Who" episode was actually a huge disappoint to me. A C effort by an A+ student, as someone else put it. Regardless, all of his other Who scripts are AMAZING. "The Doctor Dances/ The Empty Child" is what got me hooked on the show, and it still hasn't been beaten.

Plus, "Coupling" should have been totally annoying, due to the large amount of HILARIOUS GENDER STEREOTYPES!!!! based humor, but somehow it's totally hysterical. British comedic timing helped, but the writing is really kick ass.

In conclusion, in spite of the recent mistake, Moffat still rules.

singeivoire:
Agreed, Coupling would have been obnoxious were it not for Moffat's writing. As it was, it was terribly entertaining.

So, I had not heard that he was writing Tintin before now. That has me beyond excited. I grew up with the books, and I am tired of my friends looking at me vacantly whenever I use Haddock curses in regular conversation.

Ectoplasms!

LucyStag:
You need to get new and better friends. If I were your friend, I would high five you whenever you used such curses.

I too have suffered the sadness of having no friends who had Tintin childhoods.
