Just let Genndy Tartakovsky make his animated Popeye movie already you cowards
It’s it a gritty reboot where they murder olive while Popeye is out buying spinach and injecting it straight into his jugular because he collapsed the veins in his nutsack from overuse? Let’s say Bluto pulls him out of the gutter cleans him up and takes him to an actual gym to get ripped only to then go on a John wick-esk rampage murdering basically everyone they run into like John wick. “Is that a bad guy?” “I dunno, kill em all and let God keep the change!” As Popeye guns down people in a shopping center who happen to be in suits in the wrong area.
Maybe that creepy hamburger fuck can do it because she never bought him a goddamn hamburger so he grills her ass and eats her while muttering that Tuesday finally came.
If you never watched Popeye it’s worth seeing at least once. It has a ton of heart. It’s no where near coming close to amazing or anything, but it gets a worse reputation that it deserves
It uses the comic strip for it’s world, which is different than what people are used to from only seeing the cartoon stuff. Every character is basically perfectly cast, and they all have their own unique things they do, is pretty interesting just to watch all the background characters interact.
It’s Robin Williams first movie, too. Seeing him as a scrubby mumbling ahole is fun. Although the mumbling did get tiring after awhile.
Didn’t know it was Robin Williams first movie. I haven’t seen it for decades. You make me want to watch it again!
Edit: I do remember Shelly Duvall as Olive Oyl, though. You’re right about the casting!
Aw, I love this movie. We watched it a ton of times when I was a kid. Sweet Pea is just damn adorable, and it’s perfectly cast.
This would work if it starred Olivia Coleman.
As Popeye.
They’re trying to ride the coattails of the Katzenjammer Kids blockbuster movie.
It’s “renew your copyright” time again…
I’m surprised he’s still a smoker.
