What'd I say about "The Adventures of Tin Tin"?

I love this. From Wired Magazine: "Hey, here’s a brilliant idea. Take a comic book series nobody in the United States cares about except as an answer to a trivia question about ’80s band The Thompson Twins, and make a movie about it. But here’s the brilliant bit: Completely ignore the amazingly understated and clear linework that the six people who do care about Tintin admire, and instead clench out another mo-capped CGI-fest. Now everyone’s alienated! Fans briefly made outraged noises when the trailers for The Adventures of Tintin came out, and have since settled into ignoring the movie and instead renting the Gerard Depardieu version of Asterix and Obelix." I thought you could see it from the trailer, before it even opened. Link to original post: http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/12/alt-text-nobody-cares-2011/
