I really liked him this, trying to wear a cool guy persona that absolutely didn't fit and longing for Butler's cool/Butler but not even having the ability to verbalize that desire to himself.

I do want to make more of an effort to go to the theater because The Bikeriders is the exact kind of film where I'd go "I'll catch up with it on streaming" and then never think about it again unless I make the effort to go see it. And I'm very glad I did.

I remember when at least three of them were in the 2015 Suicide Squad and I could not tell them apart for love or money.

He is a handsome cartoon mouse and I would fight barefoot in a parking lot for him.

And it's also nice to see Mike Faist continuing to break out after stealing Spielberg's West Side Story. I like that he has that Donald Sutherland quality of being able to bounce between leads like in Challengers and eye catching supporting parts like this.

I remember walking out of Elvis going, "Hell if I can tell you if I actually liked that or not, but that kid was great."

The first time I tried to send that post I got an "adult content" label for this Robert McGinnis illustration of a (clothed!) sexy hippie lady, lol.

Having lived through the great white boy hunt of the 2010s when Hollywood kept desperately trying to make a series of personality vacuums happen it's wild to see Austin Butler look up from a pool table in his Bikeriders' introduction and go "Oh, an actual star, I knew you'd eventually find one."

The Bikeriders (2023). The American urge to escape from it all and then coat that escapism in as many rules, codes, and rituals as the world supposedly being rejected. Great cast, great cigarette smoking, and a sharp understanding of how cool is usually a series of performances when you lack it.
