Hear me out: a new version of Popeye, starring Tom Hardy, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn.
There would be only two fights in Nicolas Winding Refn’s Popeye. In the first, Bluto beats Popeye senseless and it takes him 6 months to recover. In the second, Popeye caves Bluto’s head in with one punch and one eye lands in Wimpy’s mouth. Instant Palm d’Or.
Bluto has been cast. We need Olive Oyl and Wimpy. https://twitter.com/itsjeffsouth/status/1260301290493677569?s=21 https://twitter.com/itsjeffsouth/status/1260301290493677569
I like this casting because Olive needs to tower over Popeye. https://twitter.com/carbonialex/status/1260303159529926656?s=21
I’m putting this in the middle of the thread because it’s one of my very favorite things ever.
Hmmmmmmmmmm. Dark horse candidate for Wimpy. https://twitter.com/ahblahbah/status/1260419902889918465?s=21 https://twitter.com/ahblahbah/status/1260419902889918465
