I have never been more stoked for a movie by only seeing its poster.

I feel like a seven year old again.

There is no way this could be bad. Let's all start getting excited now, oh and talk about our favorite Tintin moments too, like when he went to space!

OH SWEET BABY JEEBUS LOOK AT THAT CAST!

    I was thinking that when I typed it.

    but I seriously can't see how all those talented people could fuck up Tintin. It just isn't probable.

    It varies, but I recall waiting up to 2 months before and being a bit annoyed.

    I didn't say it was definitely there, just that if there is anything that can fuck this movie up, it will be that. The crew, scriptwriters and art style all appeal immediately.

    Furthermore, I'd wait until you see something in motion before gauging how far from the valley it is.

    He's a Belgian journalist who gets into crazy adventures with his dog Snowy, usually solving mysteries.
    Came out in the 40s.

    He's like the polar opposite of a Hard Boiled detective.

    Boy adventurer with loyal dog gets mixed up with all sorts of diabolical schemes. With such allies as a bumbling professor and a foul-mouthed sea captain, only he can restore balance to the force.
