Work Report - This blog originally focused on work, but it's now focusing on the collection of quotes I've accumulated.

 
Mike Crowl blogs in two places on Orble, and more than two on Blogger. His wife thinks he writes too much.

Strange comparison

tintin
From an article in The Independent entitled Mad about the boy.

Responding to criticism of the new film [Tintin], Nick Rodwell, the head of Moulinsart, the company that controls the image and rights to all Tintin merchandise, said: "They have created their own interpretation, in the same way different theatre directors interpret Shakespeare. If this movie brings people back to the books so much the better. To be in a position to have Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg taking it on – it's good for Belgium and it's good for the work." He added that scholars went on to create the New Testament "because they weren't happy with the Old Testament."

Pity about that last bit, Mr Rodwell. Seems to show just a little lack of understanding as to how the New Testament came into being.

I never really read Tintin much at all, although I saw the books occasionally.
