Tintin is fucking awesome, I am just saying! :-D The good thing with the movie is that it might just throw some light on these old brilliant comics so more generations might discover them! :-D

And about Milou/Snowy and Dupond and Dupont vs Thomson and Thompson... I'll just point to my answer to volare... Oh, and do you know WHERE Hergé got the name Milou, btw? :-D He named the dog Milou because the first girl he really feel in love with... had a nickname... Milou... so he put the name in the comics to honour her. And then the translator who translated the books to english just destroyed that. *lol* Ah well, just some geeky history there. :-)
