The old school Popeye's were the best cartoons ever. When the DVD collections came out, I watched those shorts for hours.

Ooooooooooooh who's the most remarkable extraordinary fellow?

Remember when Robin Williams was Popeye?

Weird, I was just thinking about Popeye a few hours ago. No really. I was thinking he'd probably make no sense to today's kids, but then I realized he made no sense to me as a kid either. But I do like spinach.

If they're going with the old Max Fleischer Popeye cartoons then that should be pretty cool.

They should make a CGI Betty Boop movie. Now that would capture today's kids!

They had an interesting 3-D effect that was ahead of its time.

For the curious, this excerpt (new window) from a 1936 magazine article explains how Fleischer filmed the Popeye cartoons.

Has it really been 32 years since this came out?

I loved the Popeye movie when I was a kid. It wasn't until I was older that I realized how utterly insane the whole thing was.

FTFY

The Robert Altman POPEYE is practically a textbook on how not to do a comic movie.

Popeye was the MAN! Took no crap from Brutus, great command of the english language and had a skinny girlfriend.

That was a bad, bad movie and Robin Williams should feel bad for being in it.

I saw Popeye the movie in the theater as a kid and it made me cry. It was my first "What the Fark is this shiat?" moment.

I remember one old Popeye cartoon.. Olive Oyl actually got fat, and had some breasts. Of course, after Popeye helped her lose weight, they went away again.

Joey from Full House should play him

We were just talking about that Altman Popeye thing yesterday, specifically because we're going to give it another whack this week. It's been something like 25 years since I've seen it. Maybe it's going to be less of a disappointing POS this time.

All I know is Robin Williams is good in everything.

Except Popeye.

Sheesh, never seen Patch Adams, I guess.

And the Altman movie gets a bad rap. Sure it's nuts and not exactly a good movie, but it's NUTS, which makes it an entertaining movie, anyway.

Shelley Duvall ruined the Popeye movie.

I can't cite anything specific to back this up - it's just a given since Shelley Duvall has ruined everything she's ever been in.

/And don't talk to me about 3 Women. It's nothing more than a bastardized version of Persona.

The Altman "Popeye" was another in a seemingly endless litany of deeply compromised cinematic masterworks. The studio execs second-guessed him and micro-managed him and rushed his completion window and seemingly did everything possible in their power to trip Altman up during the film's production cycle. Even after working under those conditions (from everything I've ever heard or read on the subject) his final cut was apparently absolute genius on the level of "Nashville" and "M.A.S.H." Then the film was, without his input, edited down to the piece of loo pudding we know and loathe today and released. I'm holding out (notalotta) hope that one day Altman's original print (or something resembling it) is released for we peons to view.

His Superman cartoons were even better. I remember one with people dancing around a fire & their shadows were almost life-like as they were cast against the far walls. Really amazing animation.

Same goes for that RV movie he was in.

The set of that movie is one of Malta's biggest tourist attractions.

The set of Patch Adams is one of Washington, DC's biggest tourist attractions, right behind the Korean War Memorial and the cafeteria in the basement of the Capitol Building.

QFT. The sotto voce adlibs were the best. And if they want an obilgatory masturbatory 3D, this is made for it.

The Altman-"Popeye" isn't THAT bad.... and at the time, Robin Williams was the optimal choice. Love for Shelly Duvall as Olive as well.

COCAINE!

/seriously, everyone involved in that movie was on coke. The producer (Robert Evans) almost got arrested flying into Malta with a suitcase full of it to supply the cast and crew.

Shouldn't the kid be Sweet Potato instead of Sweet Pea (or Swee' {ea)?

You must only have seen one Robin Williams movie.

Popeye was by no means a good movie, but it's messed up enough to be worth the effort. Visually it is nice to look at, though it also gives you a sense of regret for what might have been. I don't hate it, by any means, though I admit it's been at least 2 decades since I last saw it.
 
2011-11-07 08:16:57 AM
My expectations for this movie is extremely low. Maybe this will help improve my eventual viewing of this.

The old-new kid movie I'm looking forward to is Tin Tin.

OLD cartoon? The Smurfs is from the 1980s. Popeye is from the 1930s. Let's keep it relative. And get off my lawn you crazy kids with your fast cars and your rock and roll.

Pandora's Litterbox: I'm holding out (notalotta) hope that one day Altman's original print (or something resembling it) is released for we peons to view.

All the ingredients are there, Robert Altman, Jules Feiffer, Harry Nilsson, and a nearly perfect cast all the way down the line. I've always loved this movie, but never liked it much. I would love to see it the way Altman intended.
 
2011-11-07 09:22:36 AM
Unless they plan to call it Thimble Theatre (which was Elzie Segar's original name for the comic strip where Popeye originated), I don't give a rat's ass.

/trivia: Olive Oyl originally had a brother named Castor

I loved Popeye with Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall.

But I also loved Killer Klowns from Outer Space.

I like good movies, but I love terrible movies even more. Troll 2. Evil Dead.

I love those terrible movies. Especially bad sci-fi and horror. But Popeye fits in just fine.

/and he's LAAaAAAaaRge

Holy shiat. I remember when that came out, I was 8. It's only been 31 years (like that makes a difference). I loved that movie. No one else did, it seems.

ChaoticLimbs: terrible movies

I adore bad movies. I got that from my mom. She used to watch bad movies and laugh her ass off. Now I do the same. The last movie I saw with my mom was Armageddon. We were howling in the theatre when no one else was. I especially love Nicolas Cage movies because they're he's so gawdawful.

/really miss mom when a bad movie is on
