New (to me) movie: Popeye

Robert Altman's Popeye - 1980
Rating: 1.4

A travesty of the cinema, truly Robert Altman at his coke-addled worst. A visually mirky scene coupled with terrible songs, if they are such, and the constant background mumbling of the main character combines to produce one of the worst outcomes imaginable.
One cannot conceive of the Popeye fan so fervent or the human being so bored as to be delighted, or even unoffended, by this unrelentingly dull porridge of mediocrity.
If at all possible do not merely skip this movie, attempt to have it expunged from the cultural memory entirely. If you have a DVD of it then shatter it into pieces and burn the remains. If you have a VHS of it then you have bigger problems.
