He’s a reporter with a knack for solving crimes before twin dimwitted detectives catch a clue. Any good reporter strives to be a detective anyway; and journalist is the closest you can come today without chasing cheating spouses. But I’m talking about Tintin, Belgium’s number one sleuth, his popularity and likeability has Steven Spielberg himself salivating. DreamWorks will host the world renowned cartoon character’s film debut, but will the adaptation ring true? I’m hoping for classic 2-D animation or even live action featuring actors with appropriate accents. I don’t want to see a CGI movie sacrificing depth and character development for cheap laughs. Conversely, the comic relief distinguishes Tintin, but whatever’s popular in two years dictates the film’s feel, so what do core fans matter? That’s not who Hollywood’s aiming at. Granted TMNT looks terrible, and its graphics will eventually date it, that won’t stop devotees, like me, and restless kids on spring break alike from plunking down $8.
What to do with all the money? Forbes magazine released its billionaires list today and everyone’s wondering what these folks spend their dough on. To anyone rich or poor, doesn’t time matter more than money? I have more time than money, but that doesn’t mean I’m wasting time, I probably waste more money. It’s great more women and Indians made the cut, but how do the rich and perhaps famous spend their time? Bill Gates generously gives hours to citizens of Africa, struggling students ( as a Harvard dropout, he was once one), and overseeing the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Ingenuity and creativity founded many of the listed billionaires, while American public schools and standardized tests discourage these two talents. We have many freedoms, but when will our children be free to think again? Proud as I am that the U.S. encourages opinions, I wish school administers would listen to kids, instead of the cha-ching of cash registers. Perhaps it’d put more money in students’s pockets.
