I d... It is sad you have to take out the references. I don't get many references nowadays, but when I do I always feel clever. And I have a feeling I'd get all or most of the ones you use.<br /> The idea of your spies sneaking into a museum and trying on that fellows flashy clothes makes me giggle. I cannot wait to read that part.<br /><br /> I suppose I noticed the lack of Tintin cartoon accents because I didn't know about them until I was starting to really enjoy British things. And even though they are French I hold them in the same class as British - by that I mean classy and wonderful and amazing with well told stories and lovable characters. So hearing them with American accents isn't as fun, but not so disappointing that I am not able to enjoy the cartoons. They are a ton of fun, though when he shouts Eureka I cringe. This comes from growing up in the West and watching western movies as a kid. Every time I hear that I want to add, "Gold at last!"<br /> Someday I want to watch the new movie in French just to hear them all use the accents and language the characters would have actually used. (Same goes for Les Miserables)<br /><br /> They do follow the books fairly close, as you said. There are some things I have noticed they left out, but as in all movie making, that cannot be helped. Again though, it is not enough to make me dislike the show - it takes a lot to make me dislike a movie based on a book. The one exception I have is the Percy Jackson movie which makes me want to cry. That one needs to be drown. <br /> Though I don't think I will ever like them as much as the movie, just comparing movies - the books always win out with me. *Smirk* I am glad Netflix has finally put all three seasons up, and it will be one show I could watch over and over. It is Tintin after all. *Grin*<br /> I did notice they made The Lake of Sharks. Have you seen that one, or read the book? I tried to read the book once but gave up as Tintin felt too different, but I want to finish it someday.<br /><br /> I think it is so cool you have so many relatives in your family who like Tintin! My brothers cringe every time I ask them to watch the movie with me. *Smirk*<br /><br /> I have heard of Astrix and Oblix but I haven't been able to find the books anywhere so I haven't been able to read them. I keep looking though. Didn't Herge do another series as well? I know there is one he did before Tintin with a Tintin like character, but I thought I heard of another he did while doing Tintin. I just can't remember the name.
