I was really tempted to say something about being in his fanclub, etc, but I wasn't confident it'd come across as light-hearted as I would have intended

My knowledge of all things Robbie comes mostly from listening to my wife, who would drop me in a heartbeat if he ever showed her any interest!

 

[StabbyStabStabStabStab]

So I skimmed this thread, but to my surprise I couldn't find his most popular song. And I think it's pretty good. But that's basically the only one I like.

That's the only one I like, along with that dinger he did with Kylie

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I saw this trailer in a showing of Nosferatu and even knowing damn well who he is, this was one of the most mindbogglingly stupid looking trailers I've ever seen.

 

[Trogdor1123]

He was sort of popular like... 25+ years ago in Canada...

Much Music pushed him on us, anyway.


Was he a thing in the States at all?

Whatever happens much music? I assume it’s long since dead?

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

It looks at least entertaining despite him being a nobody in the USA and a monkey .

I honestly don't know if it's around or not
If they are.. its just replaying terrible mtv clip shows and reruns.


I feel like a lot of Canadian culture died with it.

Anyone want to watch a planet of the apes musical? Didnt think so.

I didnt know Robbie W even did Millennium. And I hadnt heard the song on radio in ages or even remembered it until people brought up this movie.

I was just thinking the other day I would absolutely watch a full adaptation of this. Although it wouldn't be the same without Phil Hartman's Troy McClure and the writing in that minute or so is so good that I can't imagine it could be maintained for a whole show.

That was a great musical sequence. The choreography and camera work are tremendous here. Based on this excerpt it's a shame that the movie bombed.

What an incredible waste of money. Who greenlit this?

Damn, you would think a Robin Williams biopic would do good in theaters....

Oh that's Robbie Williams....

Seriously though, the only reason I know about this guy is he's into UFO and paranormal stuff and is friends with paranormal investigator George Knapp.

 

[MayauMiao]

Saw the trailer just now, and a word pop up in my head.

"Why?"

 

[Gamerfan81]

Never heard of this Robbie Williams person, hell I thought it was about Robin Williams the actor that died ten years ago.

I remember his 15 minutes of fame but at the time I remember thinking it was weird that the radio/MTV talked about him like he was an established super star even though nobody had heard of him.

This is the best scene and musical number in the movie, so them posting this to YouTube saves people needing to drop money on a ticket

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Maybe what people don't realise is.

When they went to Hollywood to green light this, the money people thought they were making a robin williams biopic and was like sure.

Or maybe the plan was to make a robin williams biopic and someone emailed his name wrong.

Enter Robbie williams.

 

[AJUMP23]

We should really stop making biopics about people still living. Are we going to get a Taylor swift movie Taylor played by a cg flamingo.

 

[ahtlas7]

This song was fairly big in the late 90s

Looks like a modern day YouTube thumbnail. Dude was really before his time.
