>Spend 100 million portraying someone nobody outside Bongland knows about as a CGI monkey
What were they thinking?

>>212468329 (OP)
was there anything particularly monkey-like about him or his career? is it ever explained?

>>212468329 (OP)
>>212468382
Is that a MAUWNNKEE?

only some retard in undergraduate film school first year comes up with vomit like this.

>>212468329 (OP)
>CGI monkey
Who?

>>212468329 (OP)
>nobody outside Bongland knows about
You know who he is, troll.

>>212468485
i legitimately had never even heard of british robin williams until after this movie came out and that entire little island acted offended that nobody else had heard of him either

>>212468329 (OP)
Something he'd(Robbie)do so I respect it. He's always been in to offbeat shit. It might end up being a cult classic that grows among people that find it like Blade Runner and WaterWorld before it.

>>212468571
every one of those threads contained americans pretending they didn't know who robbie williams is and americans pretending to be offended british people

>>212468329 (OP)
should have just a regular cgi cartoon like SING or whatever that movie was

>>212468329 (OP)
I know very little about this movie but I'm glad it flopped hard just because that monkey's face annoys me. Sneed.

>>212468485
>heem deeedent gouuu tehhh trivagoo

>>212468633
most people werent pretending. he was a one hit wonder from the 90s, i dont know why bongs were acting so flabbergasted that nobody knew or cared about him, but it was funny and thats why people started mocking them

>>212468485
I legitimately did not know who he was. I had heard that “I’m lovin angels instead” song but I didn’t know he was the artist. That was the entirety of my Robbie Williams knowledge

>You know who he is, troll.

>>212468895
I'm a big James Bond guy so I found through his Millennium video on MTV. They were still releasing videos back then.

>>212468917
Kek why do brits have such a hard time accepting that us yanks never have and never will give a shit about Robbie Williams. For fuck sakes he talks about how he never made it big in America constantly. Says it's refreshing he can walk the street of LA or NYC and nobody knows who he is so they all treat him like a regular guy

>>212468485
He had like one hit here. Sending a movie about him over to here's dumb as shit

>>212468633
>The Beatles
>Rolling Stones
>Black Sabbath
>Spice Girls
>The Smiths
>David Bowie
>Elton John
Americans have plenty of British music they'll admit to liking, why would we pretend with him?

>>212468575
As a burger I can confirm, Rock DJ is a banger and I remember laughing my ass off when I saw the video with him peeling off his muscles and the models wanting to catch them, kek. Millennium was also on the radio here, OP is just young and a fag

>>212468633
Yeah, like 25 years ago.

>>212468813
I’m 26 and had no clue who he was before all the /tv/ threads with angry bongs

>>212469401
I'm 30 and I'd never heard of him before either. I've probably heard one of his songs before but I never knew who he was.

>>212468329 (OP)
They should have made the movie about Blur instead.

>>212468329 (OP)
Dude is one of the most famous musicians on Earth.

but seriously how does this not look like a wedding comedy where the best man can't make it so they have to put a chimp in a tuxedo and make him stand in as the Better Man

>>212469523

>>212469437
Same. My favorite part of those threads was asking the inbred muppets if they knew who our country musicians and nascar drivers are and watching the “but that’s not the same” cope start coming out of their pudding holes
>what the fuck do you mean you don’t know who Toby Keith is? He’s such a huge star here

>>212468633
Nigga I am 26 and spend way too much time just tunnel vision locked in reading random shit on Wikipedia and listening to music and talking to 1000s of people a week at my job and try to learn as much as I can and I've lived in the USA all my life, Massachusetts and then Florida. I've been to Boston countless times, New York City several times, Denver, Tampa, New Orleans, Charlotte NC, a lot of concerts, sometimes I've gone to concerts without even really knowing much about the artist I just thought it would be a fun thing to do that day, and talked to people there about what they like, went home, read about it.
and I've never heard of Robbie Williams once ever in my entire life
Bro I remember listening to Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton cuts on fucking Grooveshark 13-14 years ago into the small hours of the night
Never heard of Robbie Williams

>>212469588
>o remember listening to Claptrap and Timmy
Kill. All. Zoomers.

>>212468329 (OP)
>>212468329 (OP)
>Americans are still pretending they don't know who Robbie Williams is again
It was funny the first time, but this is getting stale.

>>212469588
I’m 36 and was a music junkie, literally never heard and I was super into the British scene

Better man is a great movie

and Rock DJ and Kids are some of the greatest pop songs of all time

>>212468481
robin williams

>>212468917
Kek they relly du

>>212468703
I've been seeing these trivago ads
who the fuck is this guy with the teeth
weird accent too

>>212468485
>NOOOO YOU BLOKES SIMPLY 'AVE TO KNOW WHO ROBBIE IS, INNIT!
Why are you like this? You need to accept the fact that you are not the U.S. and you never will be. The rest of the world does not know or care the about popular culture output of your hemisphere. Outside of your disgusting meme breakfast foods, you are practically nonexistent.

>>212469765
sorry guvna i wanted to listen to robin williams music but i dont ave a loicense for it

>>212468485
He was famous for like 3 months in Canada around 2001. They tried to sell him as le bad boy but no one knew what the fuck Take That was (that was his boy band, right?) and anyone who noticed him thought he was a fag.

>>212469871
We commonly say "they can have round 2" a lot also

>>212469871
Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, David Bowie, and The Rolling Stones.

>>212469765
your island is the same size in square miles as the US state of Louisiana. this is like if I were to give you a hard time because you don't know some guy who was really big in jazz clubs in New Orleans

>>212469871
It used to though. Britain used to dominate popular music, and that's why the reaction to the movie caused such intense seethe from Bongistan. In their minds they're still an influential country that matters and not the completely irrelevant backwater they are in reality. They just can't accept it.

>>212469826
It’s the same situation as Robbie Williams, the bongs put him in an American advert (apparently he’s like the Michael Jordon of soccer) and nobody knows who the fuck he is.

>>212468329 (OP)

I seriously never heard of Robbie Williams before this movie came out and flopped. I'm convinced he's fake, and is some sort of CIA manufactured retroactive "celebrity", or there was an unironic timeline shift.

>>212470251

>>212470251

They tried something different atleast

>>212470146
that's klopp, he was manager of liverpool u retard. very much not british

They should've based in on Morrissey, it would've sold millions worldwide.

are Britbongs still mad that we don't know or care about this random singer?

>>212469523
That would be the better movie

>>212468485
This. It's weird people pretend not to know him. Who hasn't seen Jumanji, Aladdin, or Mrs, Doubtfire? I didn't know Robin was a famous singer though.

>>212469370
No way a real human thinks this

First 28 Years Later and now this. Bongs can't catch a break.

>>212470283
Nah he was the Millenni-uhmm guy from the 9/11 days or some shit, I remember him. The thing is I never heard of him again after this so figured he failed out

https://youtu.be/xcWOviMI6Lk

>>212468382
He famously said
>Sometimes I just feel like a chimpanzee. I drink me own urine, I tug me joey thomas in public, and everyone always is tryin to put me in an exhibit to see if I’ll put a banana in me ass. Also I’ve got AIDS.

>>212469588
Holy fucking blog post. No one gives a shit dude.

>>212468485
Robin williams was an actor not a singer. And also he wasn't a monkey. It doesn't make sense either way

>>212470251

The sequel should be called Best Man

>>212470481
They’ve transitioned to
>liam and Noel are together again!
Will last about two weeks before some black kid knifes a pensioner

>>212468485
HE IS... BETTERMAN

I'm American. There's so many British singers I can name off the top of my head. Dozens. So many are practically household names. But I genuinely didn't know who Robbie Williams was. I'm only aware of him 'cause of /tv/ discussion how unknown he is.

>>212468693
>just because that monkey's face annoys me
Exactly

>>212469999
Dass rite!

>>212471642
Spoiler: /tv/ is inhabited by people who are extremely unlikely to be interested in Robbie Williams' music but he did have a pretty big career pretty much everywhere that matters *except* America.
So it's incredibly funny to poke Americans by pretending to be shocked that they haven't heard of him and watch your countrymen instantly start to posture and bloviate like walking stereotypes.

>>212468485
i dont know who he is
T.37 boomer from europe

This movie is about Robin Williams and not Pearl Jam?

still so confused about it being a monkey.

>show my girlfriend the trailer to Better Man
>explain to her how it flopped
>explain to her how no one liked it
>explain to her how it's a true story, but they made the guy a CGI monkey for some reason
>she asks if I know who the singer is
>say I've never heard of him
>girlfriend wants to see the movie now

>>212468329 (OP)
They probably thought "Oooh, this is a GREAT use of taxpayer money!".
Because that's what funded this slop: Australian & British Tax-Dollars.

literally every new non kids movie is retarded
they have to “try something new” to justify their existence but every idea thst hasn’t already been done before is retarded at this point

>>212468329 (OP)
I can forgive the monkey business, but why the hell would they be calling Robbie Williams a better man, like he is the new coming of Christ himself? Really, some middling pop artist who hasn't been relevant in decades and thinks of himself as a chimp is the better man, the superior image we should model ourselves after?

The whole world knows this guy except Americans. It's another Falco situation. I didn't watch the movie because biographical movies about singers are boring to me.

>>212471043
its not a bong thing. we're making fun of robbie williams himself here, this is his self inflicted own, nothing to do with bongland

>>212471359
>also he wasn't a monkey
are you sure

>>212468633
we all know bongs are petty with low self esteem because they are a cucked nation and makes ya'll niggas seethe

>>212468329 (OP)
>Spend 16 million portraying someone nobody outside Burgerland knows about as a LEGO
What were they thinking?

They were thinking "nobody outside Bongland knows who he is so let's make him a CGI monkey".
You literally explained it yourself, you fucking retard.

>>212473445
You desperately need to work on your media literacy. Do you also think Dostoyevsky's title character is a literal idiot?

>>212469523
holy shit somebody fund this

>>212471140
this is factually true

>>212473365
well yeah, that whole spiel as the description makes it infinitely more interesting in spectacle and concept than the truth of it

>>212473535
the sad part is there are literally a thousand bong celebrities who we DO know, the most isolated backwater hicks out in wyoming and west virginia know who Ozzy and the Beatles are, every single woman under 40 and over 20 knows One Direction. There's Adele, Prince 'Arry, the list goes on.
and yet they spent $100M on betterman

>>212473867
I should not have used the word literally there

>>212473598
I would say a lot of people know farrel williams, but if you make him a lego, nobody does anymore

Loved this dude as Genie, didnt know he was still alive doing stuff.

>>212468432
No, not the mon-kee!!!

>>212468485
i know at this point youre trolling but i asked a lot of people i know and everybody thought i was talking about robin kek

>>212468633
I have never heard of a robbie williams in my life and I'm not American.

>>212468329 (OP)
What?!!?? American's are still pretending they don't know who Robbie Williams is? They can't be serious. Robbie Williams is on the same popularity level as Elvis, perhaps even higher. The man is one of the best musicians of our time. Of course they know who he is, everyone does. Stop playing stupid Americans.

>>212471335
Exactly. No one gives a shit about some europoor robin williams. Glad we agree brown boy.

>>212468575
The film was really good

>>212474216
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting troon

I love Robbie Williams when he voiced the Genie in Aladdin.

>>212474239
You're an inspiration for birth control

>>212473265
How the fuck? Did you never watch MTV

>>212468485
Bongs are delusional as fuck

>>212469299
They wont ever aknowledge this. We love a lot of their music and celebrities. Why the fuck would we pretend to not know this one?

>>212468329 (OP)
Robbie Williams seems to be a shittier version of George Michael

>>212468485
ITT people pretend they dont remember what I'm talking about when I say "I'm loving angels instead"

>>212473265
Sheltered, probably autistic meganerd. Robbie williams was the biggest star of the late 90s early 2000s

>>212473809
>muh media literacy
While missing the joke.....

>>212475214
You're the joke

He's been getting quietly cancelled ever since performing at the opening of a Russian sports tournament. Only time he gets mentioned now is in mockery. This monke thing is deliberate .

>>212473598
This movie only exists because the studio was contractually obligated to make 3 lego movies and this was the last one they HAD to make and Pharrell was pestering hollywood to make a biopic about himself ( I have no idea why, his life isn't that interesting)

>>212468485
still don't

>>212469523
Genuinely sounds kino as fuck

US charts are based on radio plays, so are dictated by stations, labels and advertisers.
Non US charts are typicalled based on singles and album sales, so not as dictated by adertisers, stations etc
hence near impossible for global mega stars or bands to crack the US market unless the suck a lot of corpo dick.

>>212468329 (OP)
I'll take the bait, what's a good Robbie Williams song?

>>212477030
this is also why btw boomer rock and country dominated US chats for decadesafter release and why When love takes overwas the first charting electronic track in the US in 2009.
US audiences until streaming were decades behind the rest of the world in music starting in the late 70s.

Idk, I went into the movie blind and came out a robbie william fan. So maybe whatever he was trying to accomplish worked.

>>212468329 (OP)

I thought Robbie Williams was just a name they made up for the monkey.

>>212473173

The music video on horse is cool. The song is feel. Fantastic. Give it a try. Expand your horizons.

>>212469588
Mexican TV channel canal 5 played his music videos at night along with Sophie Ellis bettor and Kylie minogue.

>>212468633
The only song I remember from him is "Millennium" which is coming up on 30 years old now, so most posters on /tv/ aren't even as old as that song. Americans who weren't even alive aren't going to know who he is.

>>212477141
bitch your country didnt even discover electronic music until the late 2000s while the rest of the world moved into acid house and jungle in 1988. While US markets devolved into corpo dictated pop punk teen cringe, boomer rock repeats and nog music, the rest of the world had Aphex Twin, The Prodigy, Goldie, Enya, Enigma, Deep Forest Jamiroquai etc topping the charts.
US being so behind on music bescause of strict advertiser corpo control is noting to be proud of.
>t. worked in a label in the 2000s and im not a bong

>>212468329 (OP)
Wasnt this movie aptly titled A Complete Unknown???

>>212468485
never heard of him, still has no clue wjo the fuck he is or wtf this movie is.In fact I was dumbfounded when I saw the previews trying to figure out wtf this was an why it was made or who it was for. When I found out (much later) it was based on some real person, or pop star or whatever the fuck, I still couldnt make sense of it and thought it was even more stupid. I knew from the very first clips I saw of it this movie would flop because it was so ridiculously retarded, not just the movie, the whole fucking thing, premise, marketing movie etc

>>212477091
My local rock station still plays kryptonite and queens of the stone age daily. The only recent song is muse uprising. A pox on record labels. There is a doc with Erika badhu that explains more about payola.

>>212477286
its dire. that said mainstream music is dogshit everywhere due to US controlled globohomo. King Gizz being very popular in the US shows that a strong alt scene still exists without Mainstream support.

>>212468329 (OP)
It was a good movie
