A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Tintin is a Belgian comic book series from the 30s and 40s. Tintin is a reporter that gets pulled into all sorts of mysteries. There are about 25 adventures in the series. There are some pretty bad stereotypes in the earlier ones ( Tintin in the Congo, The Blue Lotus and Tintin in America especially) but I think new editions have toned those down. Tintin is iconic in Europe.
ETA: Oh my God, please, no Tom Hanks!
I'll put up with Tom Hanks if absolutely necessary. All I ask is that they keep XXX XXXXXX far, far the fuck away.
eta for Megan's comfort: He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Not Voldemort, the other one.
What is wrong with you people? Stop jinxing things!
Yep, never heard of Tintin. Then again, I hadn't heard of Babar until I saw the movie Fletch, so you know the state of my knowledge of classic children's literature.
The Anne of Green Gables movies (not feature films, I know, but that's a lotta hours of my life)
Oh, right. Add the BBC/A&E Pride and Prejudice to my list.

Don't know why...have some of these on video, but if they are on TV I watch them, too
Oh, and "Corrina, Corrina"
I also, JZ, don't know why "Fools Rush In" got a reputation for such devastating badness...is not amazing art, but I have totally seen worse. And I think MP is really cute. But maybe he had me at "Gum would be *perfection*"
