#02 - SO A GERMAN AND AN AFRO-AMERICAN WALK INTO A BAR

Do you think that Tarantino had the idea for “Django Unchained”when he heard a joke that started like “So a German and an afro-american walk into a bar…” while watching the classic 1966 “Django”?

Tintin is a great movie in my views, where the live action and animation comes well together.
