JK2006	Exactly that Pru
The Fat Controller	Tintin? Dull? I've hit upon an idea that might sell like hot cakes. The Fat Controller's Adventures of Andy Murray! It's worth a try.

veritas	JK- the nickname for the recently deposed Oz PM Kevin Rudd is TinTin for the obvious reason he looks like him but why Ned Sherrin ? That one escapes me. Your review sounds pretty correct. Even reading Tin Tin comix as I did when young and even though they were exciting Tin Tin was never really an over whelming character, just the central point which the action happened around. A bit like the Famous Five who had amazing adventures surrounding them but mainly spent their time sharing a piece of chocolate while trapped in a smugglers lair and rushing home to feast on lettuce sandwiches.
JK2006	Many critics are calling it flat; I think that's what I liked about it; the way Jackson and Spielberg have captured the flat feel of the printed page whilst making it 3D. And everyone criticises Tintin for being dull; that's the whole point - he's meant to be dull; he reflects the caricature eccentrics around him. Snowy, not Tintin, is the hero, as in the books.
