This premiere was, per Informative Caption, at the Cinerama Dome! The historic Dome! For Van Wilder! What a time to be alive. For the youngs -- these shoes were incredibly on trend in 2002 and if your heel caught in a subway grate, you would walk out of them at great personal agony. All that aside: Bai looks fantastic here.

Absolutely as it should be for an actor specializing in bro-movies at this point in his career, at this point in time. Also that top button is VERY high. Anyway -- congrats, Ryan! Things are gonna work out really well for you.

Kal Penn ALSO went on quite a professional ride in the next 20 years! (He looks very cute here.)

Leaving aside that this bag is HIDEOUS, this entire concept is good for Tara Reid!
