In the early 1980s director Robert Altman gave a live action Popeye movie. It starred Robin Williams as every bodies favorite spinach eating sailor. This was Robin Williams' very first movie role. It also featured Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl, Paul Smith as Bluto, Paul Dooley as Wimpy and Ray Walston as Poopdeck Pappy. That was then, what about now? Who do you think would be good casting choices in a big screen remake to bring Popeye and his world back to life again?
and what would you call it? It might have been fun to see Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto, Alice the Goon, Wimpy and other regulars in the Popeye cartoons as teens going to school at Sweethaven High and growing up in Sweethaven. Exploring what they were like as kids, and their relationships with their parents. It might be fun to see Olive dealing with her siblings at home, and showing what let up to Popeye's and Bluto's rivalry. I'm wondering why they didn't already come up with this idea? What do you think?
besides squishing it out of a can. he eats spinach in just about every thing pies sandwiches etc...
he can lift heavy objects kick major @ss and thinks faster on his toes.
while WIMPY on the other hand is a burger munching weakling.
who seems unaware of the world crashing in around him if a "hamburger" is at hand
but also cowers at the first sign of danger. and the most gullible in the gang he's often the first one to fall for a trap.
the only reason BRUITS can keep up with him is probably due to an olive rich diet.
and his Greek bloodline with more than three thousand years of deceptive thinking embedded into his genetic make up.
what do you think.
I went to answer a question about Wimpy and it said "OOPS this question has been deleted." Whats the world coming to when I actually had a right answer 1st and I don't get a chance to gloat?
I know that this is a rediculous question to ask but just to stop arguing with my dad i decided to seek for help..
popeye loves spinach...
jughead and wimpy loves burger...
pooh crave for honey...
my dad keep on saying that there is certain character who eat nothing but SESAME SEEDS...gosh!!!
i dont remember any character eats that!!!
please help...
laugh all you want at my question but i really need the truth...
He said, "I yam what I yam."
Also, he beats up people who disagree with him.
His main enemy, Bluto, looks like a fat version
of Satan...
And his best friend, Wimpy, sucks up to him and
asks for favors (free hamburgers) and then
offers to pay later and never does. Sort of like
religious people. Which brings up the question:
Is Popeye, the best depiction of God/Yahweh/Allah,
that the world has ever seen?
