Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for October 02, 2017

Hopefully it is a horror movie.

I bet there watching ‘It’

Unfortunately, too many adults do it now (as well as talking on their phones).

YES, Calvin. YOU! Shouting advice at fictional characters on screens is just stupid. SO STOP DOING IT!

Uh oh, a night without mom and dad must mean ……………………. ROSALYN.

Woo hoo. I love a good Rosalyn story arc! And Cal is auditioning for Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Funny.

time for rosalyn to make an entrance … that movie will be expensive mom and dad …

Calvin: future resident / prisoner on the Satellite of Love.

The post theatre at Ft Bragg would show pictures for $1-2 depending on how it was and/or what grade it was. A quiet movie was unheard of. Anyone not instantly on their feet with headgear removed for the National Anthem (played at the start of every show) got shouted at, and wisecracks and jokes about a scene ( usually right after Freddie/Jason/whoever got their butt kicked) were always done right at the perfectly timed pause in the dialogue on the screen. Some jokes were…lame, others pretty good.

Other people wanting to watch a movie without Calvin’s commentary include Mom and Dad.

And Calvin’s advice usually isn’t good.

That’s why I watch movies at home, so I can yell at the characters all I want!

Enter Rosalyn…let the games begin.

Or, maybe they are going to see a movie which has a lot of smootching. Calvin certainly isn’t up for that, but Hobbs might like it.

I’d tell them to close the door. No one ever closes a door in the movies.

Time to bring back the drive-in theatres so people can yak all the want – in another car. In the meantime I’ll watch from home when it’s available on video.

Hey, I give advice to characters on the screen! But I’m at home when I do it. Sometimes it’s something I’ve seen before and you know what they’ll do but I still say “Don’t do it!”

What about all the parents that shout threats at coaches, players and referees? So much for sportsmanship.

Milan, Missouri in the 20s – silent movies: Father in law said he only went to the movies when a certain kid went that was deaf but could talk and read lips. In those days the actors said just anything and the kid would sound it out – dialog was often better than the original movies.

I was last at the movies in 2009. When “Avatar” had just come out. That’s what we went to see.

Hello again, Rosalyn.

I LOVE these parents! They actually care about other people in the theater!

My wife yells at reality shows on TV as if it’s live. She too doesn’t even realize she’s doing it. Then she starts yelling at me because the show upset her. Reality shows…worst idea ever!

The latest movie I saw was “Kong: Skull Island.” Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I love giant monster movies.

I comment during the movies XD so that’s okay

Heck, I do that, and it drives my wife nuts!

Most recent movie seen: The Lego Ninjago Movie

Next movie to be seen: My Little Pony The Movie

No amount of whining will convince them to let him tag along.

the characters should take Calvin’s advice.

My brother came up with a spoof of this strip, where in the last panel, Mom simply flat-out says “It’s rated ‘R.’” to which Calvin asks “Can I get in?”
