Also a 1989er here. And yes, I like Hoult ever since I saw him in Skins, and he's slowly getting better and better. You should definitely see The Order for 2 reasons: 1) Hoult is doing his most masculine performance in it so far, and 2) It can fit the criteria of a Dad Movie, though more because of Jude Law's burnout detective than Hoult's fanatic cult leader.

Definitely planning to check out The Order when I can, it’s extremely my kind of thing.

Hoult is soooo boring to me, absolutely no personality. I can't board this bandwagon, no sir.

He's no Pattinson.

For me, Pattinson is the absolutely boring one.

The Winter of Hoult! He is excellent. But Are we worried about how few young stars there are?

Oh, yeah, it's a big problem. I decided getting into it was beyond the scope of this piece, but I was feeling some despair while I was writing this and realizing how few movie stars have emerged in the past decade or so.
