For me, the worst aspect of this movie was Olive Oyl's poor sense of fashion. I mean, her hair was pulled so tight I'm surprised it didn't asphyxiate her brain. You can't be too careful with things like that...
I know alot of people who love this film. It's a classic Altman film. We tried watching it last night but grew tired of it pretty quickly. I think he did a decent job in adapting the comic strip (and I suppose cartoon) to live-action, but that doesn't mean it's a good movie. The pacing and editing was too slow for my tastes.
Oh, and HBO SUCKS!! TV SUCKS!! The only reason why I pay money for stupid cable are for those 2-3 HBO series per year. I'm considering dropping cable all-together and just renting those shows on DVD when they become available. Shoot your television - it rots your brain and soul.

But the baby was so cute..
Crap? It was Robin Williams at his coked out prime in a Robert Altman film. I haven't seen it since I was a kid, but I do have fond memories.
I have often wondered why, oh why is it so hard for them to play good movies.
Out of the thousands that have been made surely they could find better.
I hear ya! Although they redeemed themselves a bit last night when they played Napoleon Dynamite.
Right on sister, amen.
I've never actually seen this movie. So I should go buy it immediately? Is there a 'Special Edition'?
This movie rules.
Popeye sucked.
el stinko!
