The XYL and I took the grandkids to see the new animated Tintin movie this afternoon. It wasn't all that great but there must have been a ham involved somewhere on the production crew: one scene took place in the radio room of an old steam ship and all the radios were excellent renderings of real Hallicrafters rigs, including an S-20R general coverage receiver that the kids both recognized immediately as being identical to the one that's sitting in my shack.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
You've trained them well, and should be very proud.

The main thing I like about TinTin is that it was originally a French comic done by the Belgian artist "Herge'"
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
And drawn by South Koreans and marketed by mexicans. Its s "celebrate" diversity kind of movieOriginally Posted by n2ize
Yeah...I'm a furry...Deal with it!
I saw the uncut version "RinTinTin"
"Love Trumps Hate."
"You Facist, Sexual Predator!"
" I thought a lot about blowing up the White House"
Uh Huh, What Love?
TinTin should have teamed up with Rin Tin Tin but...
Rin Tin Tin swallowed a pin
Took him to the doctor
But the doctor wasn't in
And that was the end of Rin Tin Tin.

I had the comics when I was a youngster. I am planning on taking my granddaughter to the film.

As a TinTin fan, I was put off by the previews. That motion capture CGI strikes me cold, same way as the animation of Polar Express. I think the world of both Herge and Chris Van Allsburg's work, and I'm a fan of many animation styles, Disney, Bakshi, Jay Ward, just about anything but what I saw of TinTin and Polar Express, which admittedly wasn't too much. Very predictable OF response, I know, I know. Sometimes that chilly quality fits better than others, like in the semi recent Beowulf. Back to TinTin though -- Snowy and his simply sublime expressions and takes are the life force that shines most in TinTin I missed it in the trailers. Tell me it's there and I'll see the movie.
