This blog did not simply pop into existence back in 2006. Long before I ever took it online, I had amassed a whole collection of strange, funny, and just plain odd articles and pictures from my local newspapers. This week, I’m scanning in some of my favorite relics from the dusty archives and exposing them to the public for the first time in decades. We’ll see the World’s Dumpiest Family, debate whether a man’s political sign is racist or simply illiterate, ponder what happened in the back of Donald Trump’s limo to make a woman glow from ecstasy, and examine an old Mike Tyson press release. All this, and yes, even more, this week on bmj2k.com.

The Saturday Afternoon Movie: Chinese Popeye

April 6, 2013

Saturday is usually the province of Saturday Comics or its occasional step-brother, The Treasure Chest of Terrible Toys. But this is Popeye Week! And Mr. Blog, like Popeye, will not be bound any mere arbitrary rules, even if they are his own arbitrary rules. Especially if they are his own arbitrary rules.

This has popped (Popeyed?) up all around the internet lately but I can only find this short clip. No one seems to have any more. So what is Chinese Popeye about? It is a chinese film about Popeye (duh) and in this clip, he fights mummies.

Yes, I said mummies. So sit back, relax, and prepare yourself for Chinese Popeye. (I’m sure there is a real name for this but everyone just seems to call it Chinese Popeye, and frankly no matter what it is really called, I’m sticking with chinese Popeye.)

If this was out on DVD I would buy it. Probably for no more than $5 from the bootleg peddler on the street, but I’d still buy it.
