    After seeing the reaction to the movie I think that Rob might well look back at some of the songs he has written & appreciate how good they are . I feel that is something he has not thought about before & hopefully he might incorporate some of those songs in his future tours ...

    Yes, definitely! I would love to hear 'She's Madonna' live or maybe some other hidden jam. But you know, Rob always looks 2 albums ahead.

    I checked online, the screening in Ljubljana was rather full today. I would say about 70% seats filled, the most I've seen since the movie launch.

     

    They are also promoting the movie with an opportunity to see Robbie in Trieste if you watch BM in the next week or so. I already have tickets, but I've applied of course 😎. Trieste is already sold out and it would be nice if I could bring some extra friends with me.

    Went to see Better man again today. I had a much better feeling at the screening today.

     

    It is obvious the movie triggers some people and gives them a headache. A couple left the screening midway through. But at the end the audience gave a mini spontaneous applause. It was great. I enjoyed the movie a lot more the second time and also cought the Jonno Davies bit that I missed on the first watch.

     

    I'm just sorry for 2 people that went to the toilet at the beginning of the Knebworth scene and came back after the cathartic part. They missed the most insane movie sequence ever!

    That monkey was doing so much coke at some point.. I agree, it is definitely a movie to rewatch since there are so many references that just fly over your head. The pacing was quite fast for me. The Let me entertain you sequence was great. So were Angels and Rock DJ. I noticed that My Way started with Robbie's voice but it then changed to Adam. I would have loved it if it was Robbie's voice all the way though. Overall thematically a really tough movie to watch. I really liked the movie. I'm not sure how it will resonate with average movie watchers.

    This post is suddenly trending on Reddit a bit. Maybe due to the epic movie climax? 😎

    I was at the movie screening here in Slovenia, Ljubljana. There were about 20 people in the cinema at slot at 20:45. About 5 couples above 40, and about 10 people from 18-30.

     

    Overall I liked the movie but there was sooooo much cocaine and drug use. Non stop. And this movie stays with you. A couple of hours later I'm still thinking about it. I'll need to sleep on it. A truly unique experience.

    Hi all! I did a 'days until movie comes out countdown' on social platform Reddit. The list is basically Robbies milestones counting down from 25 to 0. I want to share the complete list with you here and the upvotes each post got. There is one extra post here which hasn't been published yet :). I think most of the data is correct, No20 is a bit of a stretch, but if you include Take That it is alright B-). N14 the text should be that Robbie stands alone and has 1 more than Elvis.

     

    Since I temporarily have access to analytics I can also share which posts have the most views: Those are in descending order: 21, 20, 19, 17, 15, 14

    00 days to go - In the '00s, Robbie Williams didn't just play the field; he owned the UK airwaves, topping the chart with 27.5B impressions and 1,024,255 spins , outplaying Sugababes, Madonna, and Coldplay.

    Oh well...I saw the comments under the video when the track came out, that these two songs are similar. I hopped it would not matter. But since the guy owning the song is governor at the Oscars for music department it obviously got busted.

     

    Some free extra drama exposure just in time for the movie release though.
