Guest StevenDraker Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I'm just wondering if anyone here has ever heard of Tin Tin. Feel free to respond by "yes" or "no" to the anonymous poll. Thanks, guys. Quote
caeron Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 I loved Tin Tin! How about Asterix and Obelix? Quote
Members RA1 Posted October 22, 2011 Members Posted October 22, 2011 Rin Tin Tin? JK. I have heard of Tintin but don't know much about it. Best regards, RA1 Quote
Guest StevenDraker Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 I have heard of Tintin but don't know much about it. Thank you, RA1. The correct spelling would be Tintin. The reason I was asking is the new Steven Spielberg movie "The Adventures of Tintin" premiering this week who's main character (according to various sources) is very little known on the other side of the Atlantic.

Members Lucky Posted October 23, 2011 Members Posted October 23, 2011 The world premier of of Steven Spielberg’s “The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn.” brought Tintin home to Belgium on Saturday, the Washington Post reports. “To highjack Tintin and bring it to America first, and then release it overseas second, would be something that would not have even occurred to us,” Spielberg said. “From the outset, the plan was to give Tintin back to the countries where Tintin was the most beloved.” More on the Tintin movie When I first went to Thailand in the late 80's, Tintin shirts were selling for $4 at the markets. I had never heard of him, but the shirts were cute, so I bought quite a few, and they also proved to be quite durable. That was my introduction to Tintin. Quote
Members alanalt Posted October 23, 2011 Members Posted October 23, 2011 Finally, I could vote - because the answer was 'yes' for Tintin and 'no' for Tin Tin... I read a few Tintin comics in HS, but was a much bigger fan of Asterix and Obelisk... Alan Quote
