    PHE Press Release: Popeye (1980) (Blu-ray)

    Update: nope. This is a terrible movie. But the Blu-ray looks and sounds great! A few small specks become the only complaint I have, as most of the flick offers terrific visuals...

    Yeah, I looked on IMDB and that's what I saw. Zero reason to believe the song won't be there on the BD! :)

    Based on my circa 2003 review, I liked "Dragonslayer" a lot more than I liked "Popeye"! Matthew Robbins is still active in films, so he could be available for a commentary. Whether he would do one - and whether Paramount would bother - is a different matter. I forgot the "Dragonslayer" DVD...

    Now that I would've enjoyed! The actual released "Flashdance" is terrible. A Cronenberg version would've been awesome! :D
