Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn first trailer

-
Nothing to do with Wuthering Heights, but this is too exciting not to post about! :) It's the trailer for the forthcoming Tintin movie. Tintin is a young, Belgian reporter and the film is based on the comic books by Hergé, which is something I've grown up with. Have read each and every single one of them, many times, so this is quite exciting! Here it is:



My first thought was "well, I'm not keen on the animated Milou" (Snowy in English) ... and then I realised that actually, the whole thing is animated. I thought it was meant to be a live action thing? Apparently not. Oh well. A computer animated take on Tintin might actually work better than a live action thing anyway.

It's not the same as the Swedish audio recordings where Tomas Bolme is Tintin and Åke Lindström as Captain Haddock who shouts "bomber och granater!" ... but it will do. :) At least it fills me with less trepidation than the forthcoming Smurfs movie ...

Are you familiar with Tintin? Are you looking forward to the movie? What do you think of the trailer?

    Oh my goodness, they're making a Tintin movie?? I used to LOVE (actually, still do) these books when I was a kid!

    When I was younger I used to watch the English Tintin series that was first around in the early nineties. I loved it, and read a few of the comics, although I haven't had much to do with it recently.
    But the film looks pretty exciting: I like the animation style, and from the trailer it looks like it might be alright :)

    I agree! I was half-expecting not to like it, but now that I have listened to it with sound as well ... wow, it seems great! :D It's set to come out around Christmas, I think, so a few months to go, but still. Was happy to hear Haddock have the sort of voice I would expect him to have. The only downside is that I'd be watching it in English, so the characters are called different things! Not just Milou/Snowy, there's also the Dupond/Dupont twins which are Thomson/Thompson in English, and so on.

    We definitely will be going to see TinTin at the cinema. OH loved the comic books as a child. I like the new trailer.

    It does look surprisingly good. :) It was made with the same sort of motion capture technique that was used on The Polar Express, apparently, so not a straight computer animation.

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why ...

And you call yourself a Richard Armitage fan?

It's been just about a year since I wrote that post about IF Richard Armitage was gay, what's it got to do with us ? This has since become the most read and the most commented post on this blog, for better or for worse. Hotly debated issue, apparently. The thing that strikes me is how people look upon the subject. A lot of comments were very supportive, saying if he was gay, it might spoil the illusion somewhat, but all in all, if that's who he is, then that's who he is. Others claimed to have evidence of him being a homosexual, but from what I gather, it's really only based on hearsay, rumourmongering and/or "gut feelings". Personally, I'd be interested to hear a gay man's views on this. Why? Because everyone in the debate is female, and the vast majority, if not all, are straight. Ever heard the term "gaydar"? Whose gaydar is more likely to be accurate - a straight female's or a homosexual male's? I know who I'd vote for...
