Tintin, for young and old

I have several Tintin books, so this BBC Faces of the Week magazine piece caught my eye via a promo while I was looking for Cristiano Ronaldo photos. I hope Steven Spielberg, who has owned an option on a live-action film of the character/books since 1982, gets around to trying his hand at making this movie (or movies). Spielberg has enough extra money lying around, though that has been the case for a while. I hope he feels interested in something a bit lighter than Munich.

The boy, who’s learning to read, is loving Tintin… mostly for the pictures and visual jokes, but the language isn’t too far beyond him, either. And Snowy never hurts the youth appeal.
