In this day and age, where things like comics and other things we remember from the past are suddenly popping up again and becoming normal in places like movies, something struck me as missing...
Every morning, my child, like many others, has a bottle of milk to start the day. It kick starts him into overdrive as soon as he goes 90 degrees on that thing...
To that end, I think of him as Popeye. We all remember him cracking open that can of spinach, only to have super human strength and energy.
Why has there not been a modern day Popeye movie made? Maybe more importantly, who would play the awkwardly thin and flat chested, and not all that attractive Olive? Maybe a skinny and just out of jail Lindsay Lohan? Maybe her girlfriend/boyfriend Samantha Ronson? I could think of these options for hours on end...

1.) Popeye has not kept any forward movement. With batman, superman, etc there were more recent efforts to keep the brand alive.
2.) Robin Williams/Shelley Duvall/Robert Altman version in 1980 was such a dog that it probably has movie investors scared away.
I think a new Popeye the video game (maybe for the Wii) could be a fun way to bring back the brand
