Colin Covert of Star Tribune gave the film four stars out of four and said that Spielberg's first venture into animation was his most delightful dose of pure entertainment since Raiders of the Lost Ark.[70] Amy Biancolli of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote: "Such are the timeless joys of the books (and now the movie), this sparkling absurdity and knack for buckling swash under the worst of circumstances. The boy may have the world's strangest cowlick, but he sure can roll with the punches".[71] Roger Ebert of Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three and a half stars out of four, calling it "an ambitious and lively caper, miles smarter than your average 3-D family film". He praised the setting of the film, stating its similarity to the original Tintin comic strips and was also pleased with the 3-D technology used in the film, saying that "Spielberg employed it as an enhancement to 2-D instead of an attention-grabbing gimmick".[72]Peter Travers of Rolling Stone also gave the film three and a half stars out of four and wrote: "The movie comes at you in a whoosh, like a volcano of creative ideas in full eruption. Presented as the first part of a trilogy produced by Spielberg and Peter Jackson, The Adventures of Tintin hits home for the kid in all of us who wants to bust out and run free".[73] Kenneth Turan of Los Angeles Times said: "Think of The Adventures of Tintin as a song of innocence and experience, able to combine a sweet sense of childlike wonder and pureness of heart with the most worldly and sophisticated of modern technology. More than anything, it's just a whole lot of fun".[74]
Belgian newspaper Le Soir's film critics Daniel Couvreur and Nicolas Crousse called the film "a great popular adventure movie", stating "[the film's] enthusiasm and childhood spirit are unreservedly infectious".[78] Le Figaro praised the film, considering it to be "crammed with action, humor and suspense".[79] Leslie Felperin of Variety wrote: "Clearly rejuvenated by his collaboration with producer Peter Jackson, and blessed with a smart script and the best craftsmanship money can buy, Spielberg has fashioned a whiz-bang thrill ride that's largely faithful to the wholesome spirit of his source but still appealing to younger, Tintin-challenged auds".[80]
Steve Rose from The Guardian wrote about one of the film's major criticisms: that The Adventures of Tintin, much like The Polar Express, crossed into the uncanny valley, thereby rendering Tintin "too human and not human at all".[84] Manohla Dargis, one of the chief critics of The New York Times, called the movie "a marvel of gee-wizardry and a night's entertainment that can feel like a lifetime". The simplicity of the comic strip, she wrote, is a crucial part of the success of Tintin, who is "an avatar for armchair adventurers". Dargis noted that Tintin's appearance in the film "resembled Hergé's creation, yet was eerily different as if, like Pinocchio, his transformation into human form had been prematurely interrupted". Another major fault in the film, Dargis opines, is how it is overworked; she writes that there is "hardly a moment of downtime, a chance to catch your breath or contemplate the tension between the animated Expressionism and the photo-realist flourishes". Nevertheless, she singles out some of the "interludes of cinematic delight", approving of the visual imagination employed within the movie's numerous exciting scenes.[85]
Looking more broadly we see that the entire list has remained relatively intact this year. A few sites have switched places but none of the major torrenting sites disappeared, which by itself is already quite an achievement.
The site focuses on movie releases which are popular around the globe. YTS has been the target of three lawsuits in the US recently. While the operator signed a consent judgment to pay damages to one filmmaker, the site itself remains online.
NYAA.si is a popular resurrection of the anime torrent site NYAA. While there is fierce competition from alternative pirate streaming sites, the torrent portal continues to do well, climbing one position compared to last year.
The original TV-torrent distribution group EZTV shut down after a hostile takeover in 2015, with new owners claiming ownership of the brand. The group switched to a new domain last year and was inadvertently blocked in the Netherlands because it shared an IP-address with The Pirate Bay.
Fitgirl Repacks is by no means a traditional torrent site. It is the home of a popular group that releases slimmed down cracked versions of popular games, which keeps download times to a minimum. They publish torrents on other sites but also offer magnet links of their own, which is why we included the site here.
Rushdie's cinematic tale begins where all movies begin: in Los Angeles. Max Ophuls, an octogenarian and legendary American ambassador, dies in a pool of blood below his illegitimate daughter's apartment, victim of assassination at the hands of his Kashmiri driver.
Much like Robin Williams, Rushdie cannot help himself: a frenzied torrent of ideas, scenes, and observations spill onto every page, leaving the reader either exhausted and exasperated or dizzy and delighted.
The water had risen considerably during the night and it was just under our floors. We had much reading to do and got off a letter to Dr. Wetmore of the Smithsonian and sent a copy as well as a short letter to Hoover. As the water was everyplace in camp we had to stay in our house and most of the day was spent in the clambos reading the letters, newspapers and magazines. We sure were way behind the times for much had happened in the world since we last heard of it three months or more ago. We splashed around in the water up to our knees and higher in spots and got some good pictures of the camp under water, both movies and stills. Despite the high water we are not suffering any discomforts from it so far. It was funny to see Van Leeuven go around in the rain wading way over his knees in water and with an umbrella over him. To make the picture more humerous [sic] he fell in while going to the bath house and was soaking F3.17 wet all over. Despite this he held the umbrella over him drowned as he was. I had a short discussion with both Van Leeuven and leRoux in front of the house in the early morning and told them what I thot of those who had sullied or tried to sully our reputation by giving the papers the dope that it was a film expedition and said that whoever it was that sent that information out from Albatros camp would have to answer to it when we came back. Leroux then came back with the statement that Dick himself had said he represented Paramount and I told him it was a darn lie and whoever said he did was a liar of the worst type. I also pointed out that if the movies wanted to get pictures here they would not tie up with a scientific expedition to do it for they could make better and more interesting backgrounds in their own studios in California and said that if anybody knew anything about the moving pictures industry at all they would know that. Posthumus sat across in his house and heard the whole conversation and kept his eyes on the floor when I said someone in Albatros camp had willfully given that information out and with a purpose. But we got over our anger for we are determined to make this expedition a success no matter what they do and say and swallowed hard. Matt said nothing at all except that he was displeased with the entire affair and that they surely knew before to Java that the scientific standing of the expedition was guaranteed by the State Department and the Smithsonian Institution. The day sped by and found us eagerly reading the papers and magazines, well into the evening. The river continued to rise for it rained heavily. We could see more rain in the mountains.
Another month today. It has been four months now since we landed in Albatros Camp. We have four months more. The Papuans came about nine and I went out and traded with them. They were eager for the large knife I promised them and had brought for trade two large bunches of green bananas. Dick got the movie [camera] out and of course it scared them to death but after much maneuvering and coaxing (using the bead making idea again) we finally assured them of its harmless nature. The motorist who had finished working on the motor boat started the engine to take a test cruise and even that frightened them. We worked hard though and finally got them all and were able to secure some good movies of them using stone implements. Four were all that could be induced to come back and the others remained in the jungle due to the camera and the motor boat engine running. We bribed these with beads which F3.62 were too tempting to refuse. Several new faces appeared in place of several which were present yesterday. I learned that they were the same folks who had shouted saro from the sandbar above the camp and then disappeared when I started out to trade with them the day we were packing to go down stream. They are still afraid of being shot and it takes all of our efforts and signs to reassure them of their safety close to camp. Many soldiers are hunting in the woods and when they shoot they jump up and run. We finally got over the idea that they were not shooting to scare them but were shooting birds for food. We will have to go slowly with them for several days. I was somewhat surprised that we got them accustomed somewhat to the movie machine the first time. They promised to come back tomorrow and indicated they would bring some stone axes. As soon as they got the large knife they were off. I thought as much from our experience with others on the river and consequently made that trade the very last transaction. The sun came out in all its power for a short time today but the rest of the day has been overcast. We have not as yet obtained a good view of the mountains since our return because of the many clouds in the sky. The river dropped a little during the night and many of the sandbars are again visible. Dick went hunting this afternoon and announced his intention of going straight back from the river to see what is in that direction. There is much water a short distance in and he believes there might be a large lake in the vicinity. The motor boat is entirely repaired now and has a new steering cable and a new propellor which was twisted by the winding of the anchor rope around the shaft. The transport from Batavia Camp left yesterday and should have the mail. It is due to arrive here Monday if it makes the trip in seven days. Dick plans to return with Dot the next day with the films and to bring up new film to make sure they are handled right. We wanted to make another F3.63 short trip up our small unknown river again, but the Dyaks refused to go for some reason or other. The sergeant said that only one Papuan was killed at Head Camp and one badly wounded in the shoulder during the trouble they had while we were enroute [sic] to this camp. The Papuan was buried at the edge of camp. The transport from Head Camp did not return today. 2ff7e9595c
