TINTIN ADDS JAMES BOND, BILLY ELLIOT
01.27.09
I know discussing Tintin is all the rage at discount bookstores and vegan cocktail parties, but I must confess that I’ve never seen it and know nothing about it. There, I said it, I’m not cool. Now that that’s off my chest, here are the Tintin movie details for those of you who care.
The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, directed by Steven Spielberg
Written by Steven Moffat (Dr. Who), Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz), and Joe Cornish
New castmembers: Jamie Bell as Tintin, Daniel Craig as Red Rackham
Andy Serkis (Gollum) as Captain Haddock, Simon Pegg & Nick Frost as the Thompson “Twins”
Shot in 3-D and motion-capture
Opens in 2011
Got all that? Good. In related news, I had a pet pig once. He was hard to leash train.

I got nothing. I’ll be sitting this one out. In the closet of a Drunkette. With the door cracked.
Don’t worry about which Drunkette.
I refuse to see this movie unless the dog talks and is voiced by John Travolta.
SPOILER ALERT: The secret of the unicorn is that it’s really your uncle Terry with a dildo on his forehead.
Dor sho gha! Can you guys believe there is a Tintin book being considered for banning in certain places because of how aboriginal Africans are depicted by a nearly century old artist?
Bah! Between the fundies and the PC Police, it is surprising we have any books left!
FINE! Every time the fundies try to get a book banned, The Mighty Feklahr is burning down a crowded church after He chains the doors shut!
Likewise, every time the lefty “PC Police” try to get a book banned, The Mighty Feklahr is going to burn down an orphanage of biracial children with developmental disabilities after He chains the doors shut.
Ooooh Erswi is it me? I mean, I know it’s Eibz, but is it me?
Seriously, I would freeze my turds for spikes to crucify a book banning sumbitch.
ps – I don’t know who Jamie Bell is and I don’t care unless he takes off his shirt and looks exactly like Daniel Craig.
Al, it’s not you.*
* it’s you
pps – Does Daniel Craig look a bit like a goblin there? What’s with the ears?
N’up. But it sucks.
So I knew about this. But still…Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, AND Daniel Craig in 3D? I think I just wet myself…
Never seen Tintin? Go look outside, he’s on the moon.
