Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for July 28, 2015

I see a career for Calvin in Hollywood.

There’s entertainment for a reason Calvin,

So, so. I hate twisted values and violence especially! But it exist some beautiful works in popular culture, too, I pick them out and sometimes I do it, to earn money, but not works of violence and hatred. I’m in anger when they show so much blood and disgusting things in theatre!!

It was the strips like this one that made me think I understood why Watterson retired: he said all that he wanted to say and was exhausted.

Creativity is a drug I cannot live without. ~ Cecil B DeMille

No art merely reflects culture. It always helps to shape it as well.

However, it probably wasn’t. The Peanuts strip was in the newspapers in 1952, and Bill Watterson was born in 1958. It is a Sunday Peanuts strip that wasn’t published in books until 2004 when the first volume of “The Complete Peanuts” finally came out, and after Calvin and Hobbes ended in 1995. Probably, these two strips were inspired independently by a universal childhood theme.Peanuts (August 10, 1952)

I have to admit, I really liked Kill Bill one and two, about as violent as you can get.

@LeadingEdge: Do your favorite movies include honest soldiers with perfect eyesight? That way you could also get vision and integrity.

What’s a “Record” ??

I’ll take a good screwball comedy over cops & robbers any time.

Tarrantino’s best movie, in my opinion, was the least violent. Jackie Brown.

I watch films to be entertained. If I look over the info on a new film, and I don’t think I will be entertained, I don’t watch it. This is not to say some films I wouldn’t consider 20-30 years ago, I now find quite entertaining!

A film does not need violence or non-stop action to entertain me; but it does help…

“Bali Hai … yes, hence the reference. Also “There is nothin’ like a dame”, “I’m gonna’ wash that man right outa’ my hair” etc. etc. …”…You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught…

Calvin is lifting my spirits right now!
