Popeye lives on in Malta


Remember the movie Popeye that starred Robin Williams? Yeah, I hate him too, but think back to how cool those sets were. The image has really stuck with me; a rowdy world of rickety shacks built on the water, connected by collapsing catwalks. Like a Road Warrior for kids.

The film was directed by Robert Altman(!), and shot in Malta of all places. The sets are still there, and are one of the most popular Maltese tourist attractions.


I laughed when I saw the sign reading "no graffiti".
