At the risk of being made a pariah...I enjoyed the Robin Williams one. I'm looking forward to this.
your = Belonging to you.
you're = Contraction meaning "You are."
Ur = The name of an ancient Mesopotamian city.
ur = This is not a word.
I'm all for this.

Goodbye, I guess.

I liked that one as well. At this point, however, I can't be more than cautiously optimistic about a new Popeye movie.

Oh, silly Nightblade. Don't you know that they never cast actual voice actors for animated movies? They need to find someone who's actually kinda famous!|

I've heard him do the voice in an interview, he'd be perfect, but yah... they like to cast "stars" to help draw more folks (they feel, at least).

To me, the Robin Williams version is kinda like watching a train wreck. That they were able to cast it so freakishly well ALMOST overcame its near void of a functional narrative. Casting Shelly Duvall as Olive Oyl was a perfect storm of incredibly annoying actress playing an utterly terrifying character.|

Edit:I've been thinking about this and realize that I haven't given Duvall her due. She freakin' NAILED Olives mannerisms and tone in a way that felt disturbingly familiar yet dimension-breaking. I had known going in, that I was both not a Duvall fan and very much anti-Olive. I had no idea... Something in me broke, the day I saw that movie. I don't know exactly what, but I miss it.
Well blow me down..Seems Sony has gotten Genny Tartakovsky to helm the CGI version of Popeye, no date set yet for release. This should be interesting to see who they get for the voice actors tho. And am interested in what the premise of the story will be.
