Rarely does one have the chance to see so much talent and effort being thrown away on such a lost cause....You would think that a movie with such a strong cast and such a renowned director would be at least watchable, but Altman's _Popeye_ is based on such an AWFUL concept that it probably never had a chance. The mumbling cartoon sailor (with a taste for spinich) of the 40's and 50's SINGING in a MUSICAL must rival the storied "Springtime for Hitler" in all time bad concepts. Robin Williams is so constrained by his terrible role that even he isn't entertaining, which is a shame considering his comedic skills. This is a horrible, horrible movie.
