There are also Tintin Shops in Europe , which sell books , toys and other items based on the books . Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson are making a movie about Tintin . Some of these parodies , such as 1976 's Tintin en Suisse ( `` Tintin in Switzerland '' ) and Jan Bucquoy 's 1992 work La Vie Sexuelle de Tintin ( `` The Sexual Life of Tintin '' ) are pornographic in content , featuring Tintin and the other characters engaged in sexual acts .
