had i ever met Robin, i would've told him this is a good movie.

(Famous) people on the other side of us (audience members) don't always have a grasp on reality... They hear criticism in the media, and they might conclude that this is the perception that the whole population feels... Not true.

Robin is (was) embarrassed by this film because the critics panned it. I always thought that if i ever met that man i'd tell him how influencial this film was for me and how he WAS the incarnation of Popeye and a hero to the kids.

I always wish they'd make a sequal, bringing back all the living cast, showing them in their older years. Popeye would now be Poodeck Pappy's age, all old and grizzled. Would've been cool. Forget it now.
