For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 23, 2022

Had a fun time thinking about nothing but Rhetta, Michael?

Paralysis by over analysis.

Always interesting to see a boy’s perspective through a woman’s imagination.

If the movie’s over then why is the theater still dark?

This is unusual. Mike is way more romantic than Rhetta. Are boys like that outside of FBOFWiverse? Not in my experience. Girls tend to be more romantic. Mike was so lost in his head he missed the whole movie ….and Rhetta.

Lost in the moment for hours!

Rhetta, you don’t REALLY want to know what Michael is thinking!!

Aaaaaand…still a doofus.

Crash and Burn.

Back row, corner seats and make out for 2hrs. After the popcorn is gone of course. No brainer.

I remember today’s strip from back in the day!

Yeah, sometimes you just need to listen.

refreshing, really

Oh, young love!

Quit talking to yourself and talk to her!

Cupid didn’t shoot Michael with an arrow of love, he hit him over the head with the baseball bat of stupidity.

He isn’t there for the movie. He’s just where he wants to be. With her.

The ushers cleaning the front rows should have been a sign the movie is over

Already????

It all happens so quickly and then poof………….

It’s a matter of investigative reporter skills. In the beginning, when the Beach Boys were singing about surf and hot rods (which they haven’t for decades, but that’s a different story), Brian Wilson wrote authoritatively on both subjects, although he had minimal personal experience with each. He simply consulted those who knew and wrote from their perspective.

Aw Mike, you missed the whole movie!!! What are you going to say when Rhetta wants to talk about it???

LOL… Mike is having a real hard time being with his first girl friend.

Being that slow he will be 45 before he gets a steady girly and gets married.

wasn’t there a song by Shane McGowan about a girl with green eyes? Victoooooria….the girl with green eyes…..

Strike One

“Lorne, Lorne, Lorne down the liver!”

This does not sound like the kind of movie with much of a plot line.

I was about 22 years old when I went on a first date with a guy who slept through the entire movie. I wasn’t upset, though, because he was a hardworking ranch hand, awake before dawn and to bed late at night taking care of the ranch animals. And the movie, which I myself had picked, was extremely boring!
