[lolly]

Shut me up, I was looking at just Saturday.

Well there we are. I'm sure it's been playing to nothing but packed houses all day Friday and Sunday.

Can’t be a flop if it only had a limited release

 

[Jark]

I'm sure it could actually do quite well on Netflix or Prime so maybe they've done a deal to get it on streaming and recoup a sliver of the money spent

Did you book to see it a second time?

 

[dUbrodošli]

MUST DO THAT ACTUALLY

It was on track to be a box office smash but sadly stocking issues got in the way. A tale as old as time. RIP.

 

[Joseph]

We are still getting it on the 10th apparently but probably just for the weekend. I may go see it Saturday

[Madison]

I’m going to wait for the sing-a-long version.

(Yes, I am deliberately cutting out the context. AND WHAT ABOUT IT!?)

Are you trying to suggest that this film is such a big binfire that it has ignited Los Angeles?

 

[dUbrodošli]

Funny how you really struggle to find much negative about the film from those who’ve actually seen it

Same TBH. I get that Robbie is quite annoying but I must have missed the point when he became a Lulu-esque hate figure. He has as many bangers as he does duds IMO.

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

He has as many bangers

Name one.

NAME ONE!

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Me searching for a banger on this list:

Rock DJ is the only one that has a case, AND EVEN THEN

You think MOST ABBA IS SHIT!

 

[Ellie]

You think MOST ABBA IS SHIT!

I have no issue with that opinion either.

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

You think MOST ABBA IS SHIT!

They're only good when SINGING ABOUT SEX!

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

I don’t particularly hate Robbie either, but surely the vitriol is more directed at the ridiculous vanity project concept than anything else?

Absolutely. The whole thing is fascinating.

 

[C’est la VoR]

Aren't all celebrity bio movies essentially vanity projects though? I do appreciate that this one at least appears to be attempting something a bit different with the tired old format.

Yes, this. I don’t particularly hate Robbie, but I could barely name 5 songs of his that I’d ever be able to score more than 5/10. Fully prepared for the film to be really good too… but it doesn’t need to exist. And like Lucille says, I’d rather watch a documentary on the accounting!

Well, as Ellie has indicated, the subjects are usually DEAD, or venerable enough that they get a pass.

And that's before you consider the amount of money spent on a film for someone who has minimal fame in the US.
