"I got the tiny girl with the limp." "Nice work, Lassie."
Wherein Jack feels flattered and speechless all at once.
I don't even know how to begin. Hence the speechless bit.
As you can see from my sidebar I now have a 100 followers. Aye, a 100. I never thought I'd get this many, and now I am in shock.
Which is why it took me about ten minutes just to write that bit.
So, thank you, all of you! And if you come back on Friday I will, hopefully, have a surprise for everyone. (Something I've been planning for the day I reached a 100. Well, for the Friday I reached a 100. I like to save all these things for Fridays, just to make the day even better then it already is. *Smirk*)~~~ I caught the flu so spent an hour or so curled up on the couch - I spent most of the day on the couch, but only part of it curled up for an hour or two watching the old Tintin cartoons. I got the first season for Christmas but found they put all the seasons on Netflix so thought it might be fun to watch them all. After all, I watched the BBC Narnias - not that those weren't too bad, but the Prince Caspian one makes me wince even now.
The Tintin cartoons aren't too bad. And they are fun to watch with the knowledge that Jamie Bell used to watch them as a boy. (If you don't know who he is I disown you.) But every time I watch them I am reminded of just how glad I am that the new movie was made.
It isn't that the cartoons are bad, and in some ways they keep closer to the story lines of the books better then the new movies. But there are some things I wish they hadn't done in the cartoons.
The first is, I miss the accents. Maybe this comes from watching BBC so much though. Seeing a non American character speaking with an American accent makes me want to cry. Kind of like every time I hear Hugh Jackman not using his wonderful accent. (There really should be some kind of law passed against him. An Australian, who doesn't use an Australian accent. Tisk.)
I know I shouldn't complain too much about the lack of accents, but I still miss them. The other thing that makes me want to put the movie in is Tintin's insistence of shouting Yahoo. Yahoo? Tintin, when did you become reduced to this? I noticed other American phrases which were snuck in. I can't recall them at the moment thanks to my cold, but I heard a lot in The Cigars of the Pharaohs. And he kept saying vacation. It took all my will power and my sore throat to keep me from shouting Holiday.
Nevertheless, it is a fun show and the perfect way to pass a day sick with the flu. And I am excited to see The Black Island one, (My favourite of the books. Hear that, Peter Jackson?! You like it, I like it...you should put it into the new movie!!)
Enough of Tintin though. (Haha, just kidding. One can never get enough of Tintin) Even so, I am going to bed.
Quote is again from Psych. In this one, Shawn and Gus and Lassie all have to chase down two teens. Shawn and Gus go after the young man while Lassie chases the girl who has hurt her ankle. And he is quite proud of himself when he catches her. (Well done, Lassie. Well done.)
What about all of you? Have you seen the Tintin cartoons? What are your thoughts on them?
Don't forget to come back on Friday!!
Allons-y!
