>I think they have sympathy once you come through the other side and you’re talking about something in the past. Everybody loves a story of redemption. The redemption is: I was this guy who experienced this thing but I’ve endured and overcome it. You throw in a word like “endure,” and I can already hear British people going “(Expletive) you! What did you endure? Knickers being thrown at you.” Dude, I was mentally ill. I still am, but I’m in a good place. I couldn’t derive joy from anything because I was mentally ill. I won a sprinting race with two broken legs.

Probably the singlest douchiest sentiment ever made by a celebrity. I'm so glad this flopped in America.

Shit concept for a film. No one wants to watch a pajeet rendering of a monkey being a pop star.
Robbie Williams now shills cat food in the uk

>>214233581 (OP)
Williams stole the song ”Angels” I think it’s called from some bum musician he was living and partying with, it’s well documented on youtube.

>The last time anyone gave a shit about Robbie Williams was 20+ years ago
>Even in his prime he was a B player outside of the UK
>Make a movie about a B player but he's monke
Obviously audiences are just too stupid to get it its brilliance

who is this "Robbie Williams" you speak of ?

>>214234217
I think he's the lead singer of Arctic Monkeys.

Did it work?
>On why Paramount chose to acquire the film, Comscore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian points out that the studio wanted to replicate the success of a traditional sleeper hit where it would bomb theatrically at first and then gradually find momentum by releasing it on home video through positive word-of-mouth, pointing out the allure of the film's bizarre premise as a selling point.[55]

>britbongs seething uncontrollably because nobody outside of the UK knows who this Robbie Williams is

>>214234275
Nah most people over 30 in Europe know, he had a few hit songs in the 2000s before fading into obscurity

>>214233581 (OP)
Is this about Guano Apes ?

>>214233581 (OP)
he monke

Do you leave dents where you sit, are you getting on a bit? Will you survive? You must survive

Rolling Stone treated the boston marathon bomber like a hero. Never forget.

You're a multimillionaire and you're expecting me to cry about you because you chose to get addicted to drugs and your mom died. Fuck off, bong

>>214234217
supposedly the Bitterman that everyone keeps calling him

>>214234275
In my late teens I dated a girl who was into all that boy-band shit, and she won tickets to a Robbie Williams concert and I went with her. At the end I could have gone backstage with her to meet him, but I chose not to, because fuck that. In hindsight maybe I should have been worried about him fucking her - but apparently he ignored everyone apart from some disabled kid he wanted to be pictured with. She was not happy. Anyway, thanks for reading my blog.

>>214233581 (OP)
so, why was he an ape man again?

>>214239012
Spirit animal, originally was going to be a lion. Director suggested it.

>>214234187
Did he pay him off?

>>214234275
He's not been relevant for about 20 years and he hates. He keeps forcing himself into the media with new wacky tacks despite being a billionaire. He tried getting into Pizzagate if I'm not mistaken and all the tabloids treated him like a mental patient

He's now got his kid daughter into acting to keep his name in the papers

>>214238848
He snogged a fan(female) on stage didn't he? He probably did that a lot on his tours.

Always thought he looked like Norman Wisdom. Gary was much more classically handsome

>>214239012
because they realized nobody knows or cares who "robbie williams" is so maybe if he were a monkey people would be tricked into watching it

>>214233581 (OP)
Is he the dude who made The Gorillaz

>>214239510
No thats Damon Albarn from Blur

>>214239510
probably. all british monkeys look the same to me

>>214239012
they finally made a monkey out of him

This was unironically a good film

>>214239625
Thank you, Dr zaius.

>>214239012
He's too narcissistic to not directly star in his own masturbatory biopic, but he's also now too old to play himself as a young man and the de-aging cgi shit would make it too weird. So this gimmick was conceived as a compromise.

>>214240543
I think he sincerely thought that he was going to get an oscar for this too, that's how completely in his own fucking universe he is. I can't imagine how much he's still seething that this bombed.

>>214240569
>I can't imagine how much he's still seething that this bombed.
Didn't see it ofc but I'm sure it's chock full of suffering artist self-pity. No one cares a bout that especially from literal whos

>>214233581 (OP)
I've never liked his music so I don't like him

>>214240543
>lets see, nobody has talked about me in 20 years. so the best way to win people back is with this weird cgi ape biopic thats coming off the heels of way mare famous singers' biopics
its genius

They should've used the monkey fight in promoting the movie. It would've misled people but it would've filled seats.

>>214241192
they should have claimed it was a musical planet of the apes sequel

>>214234217
hes that old comedian that killed himself. was in good morning vietnam
