The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn

Funny thing they’re both based on comics.

I adore Edgar Wright. He comes across as such a normal guy in interviews, but I think his wit and his direction is brilliant.

He’s got a good future ahead.

By the way, I’ve just got my tickets.

I distinctly remember booking my tickets for Tintin whilst in the pub with my sister texting me about 6 times, “have you booked them yet?!” :sunglasses:

I book all my tickets for all my films, but Tintin wasn’t selling until today.

I guess it’ll bomb here… :frowning:

It’ll be a shame if it does :frowning:. If it does, they might go all out for DVD sales.

I only book if its likely the showing is sold out, and coz we saw Tintin on the second day of release, it was rather full.

spirit I see you’re in the Tintin zone with your avvie :slight_smile:)must love Tintin!

Yep, I’m a big fan of the franchise.

The film was finally released here today. Now I want to read all the books again.

Well, I’ll watch the 90’s TV series to compensate.

So did you see it? :slight_smile:

Yes, finally. I’ve been waiting for it since 2008.

Did you like it?

I still need to check out the comics. It’ll probably be best if I did that before I see the movie. You know, to know more about the character.

There’s not much to know about him. He’s a young Belgian journalist, with a knack for adventure. He has a very intelligent dog named Snowy and is usually very optimistic.

That’s mostly it, so don’t expect to get a back story, or anything.

Thanks for the heads up. I still would like to read the original comics before I see the movie. Theres something I’m not sure of. What’s the Captain’s name? The one who was with Tin Tin.

Archibald Haddock.

Blistering barnacles! :mrgreen:

Thundering typhoons ! Is somebody talking about me ? :wink:

I was reacting in suprise that Ballboi didn’t know the Captains name! :laughing:

Professor Calculus is still my favourite character though. John Cleese would be perfect!

Calculus is awesome.

I specially love his sudden anger explosions.

Ah yes. Coz he’s an old goat :mrgreen:

According to Box Office Mojo, neither Tintin nor The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo did too well, with both films picking up $8m Wednesday to Sunday. Which is a massive injustice, in my opinion, when the number 2 movie is Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. :imp:
