Glev Here’s another good read on Tintin, a fun article by Lev Grossman that specifically talks about Tintin and travel. I wouldn’t agree with all of it, but most of it is really quite interesting and it’s fun to see how other true Tintin readers view Tintin. To read it, click below:

Perhaps the most interesting tidbit in the whole thing was this piece of trivia:
“I didn’t realize until I grew up that when the Arumbayas in The Broken Ear say, “Ewaz anaizgi. Buttiz’h felaz tukahr presh usdjuel,” you’re supposed to pronounce it phonetically: “He was a nice guy, but his fellows took our precious jewel.”
I feel like I should have known that. Good find Thierry!
But I do find offense in this passage, though:
“Not one of the characters has any romantic life to speak of, unless you count the monstrous diva Bianca Castafiore’s perverse fondness for Captain Haddock. You have to be a child not to assume they’re all gay.”
No, I’m not a child. I just know the standards of the time and setting in which this was written in, and you apparently don’t.

December 3rd, 2011 at 5:46 am^ Wow! The Captain knocking Tintin and Snowy out was one of my favorite LOL moments in the movie!
December 3rd, 2011 at 6:38 amThat’s classic, when the Captain knocks Tintin out. Instead of him falling asleep in the book, they’ve made it funny!
December 3rd, 2011 at 8:22 amTintin is everywhere, even in my Gmail: https://picasaweb.google.com/114290608117197897174/December32011#5681951825272772194
Found this ad for Tintin.com looking at my emails.
How these browsers cookies can be, scary.

December 3rd, 2011 at 5:32 pmYeah, Tintin is everywhere. Recently on YouTube, they were advertising him for travel (considering that he goes everywhere). I haven’t seen it lately, though.
December 4th, 2011 at 2:05 amThierry, your page doesn’t work.
December 4th, 2011 at 2:06 am@ Trix,
Sorry but I clicked on the link and it works for me.
May be the RSS link my work better: feed:https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/114290608117197897174/albumid/5681951346146550513?alt=rss&kind=photo&hl=en_US

December 4th, 2011 at 3:01 amTintin is now up for a Washington Critic’s Prize for best animated movie!
December 4th, 2011 at 3:12 amIt still didn’t work. I think that for the second page, that it was my computer.
December 4th, 2011 at 4:39 am@ Trix,
OK this is my last try, not sure what is wrong with the rest. So I put it on my parents in law website but make sure you view it before Christmas, this site will be down soon.

December 4th, 2011 at 6:29 amI gotto say, it’s really nice to see Tintin getting some exposure outside of the movie and books.
But I do have yet another criticism over Moulinsart’s merchandising iron fist.
The movie’s action figures, I only recently found in a store, and they’re just as stupidly over priced as the original toys.
The little plastic tube with all the characters, from Tintin to Red Rackham, costs £25. Ridiculous. The box with the sea plane model and little motor bike, as well as some other action figures cost £49.99. I mean, seriously?
When will Nick Rodwell and Moulinsart realise that nobody is going to buy their products unless they make them a reasonable price? These are kid’s toys, not collector’s items!
December 4th, 2011 at 11:29 amIt worked! Thanks Thierry.
