Austin Butler

Writer John Thompson

Oh, r186, you quote such an ignorant post one hardly knows where to begin refuting. But I'll persevere for your sake, if not the moron's, in no particular order.

"...speaks nothing like Elvis." Foremost must be noted the supreme IRONY of this facile remark, as "He still sounds like Elvis" has been THE persistent knock on post-"Elvis" Austin Butler, but Mr. Big Critic says it ain't, and never was, true! Hahaha! Thank you, fool!

"...doesn't do his own singing." A COMPLETE LIE. Austin himself sings, no mix with Elvis, "Let's Play House," "Blue Suede Shoes," "Heartbreak Hotel," "Hound Dog," "Trouble," and, in a widely-viewed camera test where he sings AND plays the guitar, "That's All Right (Mama)," a note-by-note version of that of Elvis's in "King Creole."

This absurd broad criticism alone tells me that the moron author not only did not see the movie; he hasn't read Word One of any legitimate movie review! He knows no even the most basic fact!! But then, keyboard critics don't require facts or knowledge in their tiny world. Moving on....

"...acts nothing like Elvis." AS IF this poster is such an expert on EP that he could even begin to elucidate this claim! But to put a finer point on it---Yes, yes Austin does. As Priscilla has said, "He even got Elvis's anger right."

"...looks nothing like Elvis." Yet another stupidity that proves the poster didn't see the movie. Just one example (but please: enlighten yourself by watching the linked YouTube, which source, you should know, is your friend in this entire regard): The last performance, both in the movie and in Elvis's life, is of him at the piano singing "Unchained Melody." To wit:

Movie audiences at first believe they are seeing Elvis. But they are not. The scene begins with Austin in a "fat suit," which scene eventually morphs into the real Elvis. The only way to tell when, is when we no longer see the (movie) band member who helps with the songbook pages and Cokes.

In short, r186, you couldn't have picked a more uninformed quote if you'd seriously searched.
