Once I met Ryan Gosling...

...and yes, he's cute in real life. Nice too, which made it even more disturbing to watch him stomp on a man's head in the corner of an elevator in Drive. Yeesh.

Tom directed me to this awesomely hilarious illustrated response/review of the movie, and it pretty much sums up my thoughts on it as well, although I sort of disagree with Carey Mulligan as Serene Pixie Dream Girl (see MPDG). She's more of the female archetype that puts herself in very dangerous/violent situations while quietly and meaningfully emoting her dislike of dangerous/violent situations.
