I saw this at the Cinemark Theater in Woodridge. Honestly, it was an entertainment movie and I'm a very small Robbie Williams fan. My question is this:

Why are they making a 100 million dollar budget movie on a pop star that never made it in America? And then you turn him into a monkey? Who greenlit this movie and why?

Even in death, the British won’t stop trying to put this guy over.

I had no idea who this guy was. My friends were talking about the movie and I just figured it was one of the young entertainers I'd never know. This guy isn't young. I guess I was never hip

Nothing makes me feel prouder than being the only person in America who heard the name and said "Oh, that guy who sang the song about the year 2000?". I'm guessing even Curious Hair and JORR had to google him. Not me.

he was the lead singer to take that. he had a song called "rock dj". his big hit was a rendition from a james bond song.

clearly he needed this biopic made.

I gotta ask... what dumbass greenlit a $100 million production budget for this film where you have a biopic about a singer who 90% of us can't name 1 song from? Oh and then on top of it you make him a CGI ape. :lol: :lol: :lol:

No wonder this thing bombed hard

This movie was a psy-op made to “prove” audiences aren’t interested in seeing original stories so that studios can continue to churn out a never ending stream of MCU slop.

That's actually a very good conspiracy theory.

That theory makes more sense than whatever the fuck actually had to happen for this movie to get made.
