marcicat | movie review: The Adventures of Tintin

1. The story of how I ended up watching this movie is sort of long and detours oddly into Torchwood fanfic, but I liked it!

2. Interesting fact: I’m not that good at recognizing voices, but apparently Jamie Bell (voice of Tintin) also played Esca in The Eagle!

3. Snowy the dog = best character ever! (Love that he didn’t like the opera, though I think the opposite would have been even more funny.)

4. It was a refreshing change from Supernatural (“drink your troubles away!”) and the Avengers (“situations that can’t be improved by alcohol can be improved by lots of alcohol!”) to watch a movie where alcohol was (gasp!) bad for you! And had consequences! And people were proud of you when you stopped drinking it!

5. Did the butler creep anyone else out? I was a little creeped out, but maybe I just got caught up in the story — I sort of expected him to be in on it, actually.

6. I also felt a little weird shipping Tintin with the Captain, but this fic summed it all up with style: Well That Was Unexpected (by the Oblivious), by Elanor.
