A Movie About a Property No One in the US Cares About

Tintin, that loveable Belgian comic character, looks to finally complete his long voyage to the screen in two films to be directed, one a piece, by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson.

Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, you cry? I love them twos! I bet this will be the bestest movie ever!

Yeah maybe. But probably not. I don't know if you've tried to get your way through a Tintin comic, but it's less entertaining than Ultimates 3 (and that's saying something). Tintin is not a known commodity in the US, which makes the ridiculous amount of money ($100 meeellion) Spielberg and Jackon will be receiving to make these films even sillier. 

So here's a good luck to the two auteurs. Lord knows you need more hundreds of millions of dollars. Hey, here's an idea: Why don't you two bail out the US Credit market?

I'm just putting it out there.

Tintin comes at you, all Belgian and motion captured, in 2010.
