Better Man

I saw the new Robbie Williams biopic today at the (thankfully airconned) cinema as it was too hot to go out on this 40 degree day. Was actually really good and very much recommended. I realised that due to my age I’ve witnessed the rise and fall of Robbie Williams through cultural osmosis and I guess I took for granted how good he actually was. The film is directed by the guy who made the Greatest Showman and the pace is rapid even though it’s just over 2 hours.

Anyway, if you’re at a loss as to what to watch at the cinema, this is enjoyable and if you can get past the fact he plays a CGi chimp you’ll walk out humming many of his greatest hits.

Why doesn’t he play himself? Why’s he a chimp?? Is there a legit reason,

I loved Robbie back in the day, I was a huge Take That fan too.

I’ll be taking your advice and giving it a watch Sir Robb

Saw an interview he said he just thought it was a fun idea.

I think he said he has always felt like a performing monkey and the director said that would make a great idea for the film. After 5 mins you kinda get used to it.

Ah I see it now. Fair enough.

Have you seen Nosferatu??

Is that the Keith Richards one.

Keith Richard’s an undead decrepit vampire. Makes sense

So he's being played by Andy Serkis then?

I don't like Robbie Williams enough to want to watch a biopic on him, even if I'd prefer him in monkey form.

Think I'd rather pluck my pubes than watch that vvank.

I’d rather pull my teeth out with a rusty pliers and no anaesthetic than listen to that fat dancer from take that
He’s fooking rubbish

I'm a little worried about what kind of world we're going to leave behind for him.

There is a whole raft of people who think that both Robbie Williams and Take That are absolute crap.
