Popeye

When I was a kid my dad sat me down to watch the Popeye movie. I remember it being oddly fascinating, but boring. The style and design of the movie stayed in my brain and I wondered if I saw it again when I was older if I might enjoy it.

Well I saw it again. I did not enjoy it. It was amusingly bad, but too boring to sit through. Everything in the film seemed like an afterthought, like they showed up to start shooting and forgot that no one had written a script yet or something. All the song seem out of place and pointless and bad.

Here’s some examples… listen to the wonderfully thoughtful lyrics and how they give us a subtle look into the character
