Tintin in Iraq

Edited on Tue Aug-05-03 03:56 PM by DCDemo

For those of you who are Tintin fans, this is a MUST. It's in French...me and a bud are considering translating into English.

Basically, the creators of this unauthorized version of Tintin took characters and scenes from many books, deleted the dialog, and re-wrote it. I haven't gotten through it yet, so I don't know what the overall message is, but so far, I'm laughing my ass off at everybody.

It's damned funny, and it feels good to laugh a deep laugh about all this evil shit Shrubco have gotten us into.

2. I love Tintin and Captain Haddock

Professor Calculus, detectives Thompson and Thomson, and Nestor the butler as I read the books in English when I was a kid. I also know enough French to follow the storyline, so this should be good However I couldn't get your link to work. This one seems to do the trick for me.

3. Ya gotta love the Thompsons (Duponts in French) as the Weapons Inspectors

And the other choices for the main players are prime.

4. LOVE Tintin!

They're all great. Every one of the albums. I love the two-parters: DESTINATION MOON/EXPLORERS ON THE MOON, THE SEVEN CRYSTAL BALLS/PRISONERS OF THE SUN, THE SECRET OF THE UNICORN/RED RACKHAM'S TREASURE.
