Today is a good day...


...if for no other reason than the news the DreamWorks is planning to make Tintin movies! Tintin is my childhood hero. My father would read me the stories of the little Belgian reporter in the original French, in hopes of teaching me the language. Though he bought a crate of the books, and don't think we had more than two of these little lessons. But 30 years hence, I still have most of the books and all of the love. I'm fairly certain Tintin is the reason I went into journalism. I can only hope that DreamWorks won't make it a live-action affair. So much of the Tintin's charm lies in Herge's rendering of him.
