The animation in Tintin is brilliant. Amazing attention to detail.


+1, the animation was absolutely amazing. And Rocknerd, you'll probably enjoy the opening titles then :lol: See how many references to the original comics you can spot.

I watched The Departed last night. Wow, such a good movie! I was a little bit lost at some points, but it was pretty brilliantly done.

You should watch the original film it was based on, a Hong Kong film called Infernal Affairs.

There are some key differences, and I even thought that The Departed was a superior film in some ways and very worthy of the Oscar win, but the original is fantastic.

There are a couple of sequels that you can take or leave.

Hells yeah Tin Tin is a literary classic!!

I do however dislike the animation of the film(based on previews and commercials). I have always preferred hand drawn cartoons and less of the 3-D esk style like in Tin Tin and Polar express.

I do draw the line at real life filming of Tin Tin, he's a Comic not an avant garde film!

I've got the box set of the cartoons and I've seen everything there is to see there a hundred times. I'm looking forward to being able to watch the story unfold in a different light. I'm just quietly hoping that Steven Spielberg's ability to arse-fuck any story doesn't do to omuch damage to the film.

Yeah, it's always risky with him, but I think we're safe with the fact that it's a pretty tight story and you can not add or take too much away.

If anyone has a copy of Swordsmen in Double Flag Town I would love it - one of my favorite Chinese movies ever.

He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

Saw War Horse today. Very good film, wasn't quite the tear jerker I was expecting, but a good tale all round. Only gripe was the fact that the Germans were played by English. One Kraut commander had the thickest Liverpool accent going. :lol:

MHH would love it :lol:. Nice few stallions for him to wank over.

You see this is the problem with type casting actors. you end up missing out on their potential.

You do know that Jack Black and Kyle Gass are members of the Tim Robins Shakespear society.

Jack Black is a Classically trained actor.

You must live under a rock or spend your time far away from theinternet and television. the 3rd Batman film (Dark Night Rises) has been in the press for the past 6 months and quite heavily with the sneak preview in Imax making news in the past month for it's poor dialogue from Cheif villian Bane.

Sources in England say that a new sound track has been distributed to theatres in the States with a lowered background noise to enable you to understad him better but the Producers are denying any alteration.

you do know they're making the Avengers right???

Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, The Hulk and Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson's character in 66% of Marvel based films) all in one giant film!


Check out www.denofgeek.com for more movie updates and don't get left in the woods again!
