Ryan Gosling, the wind beneath our wings, the fire in our eyes, the hand that rocks the cradle, the hand that rules the world, hardly needs to try to win our affection at this point. He is very good looking, to begin with. Have you seen this guy? Not someone who is difficult to look at, BELIEVE ME. I’ve seen him in photos. Plus he has been in movies that we all like, all of us in the whole world without exception, which helps. And one time he broke up a fight that was being filmed even before he jumped in, for some reason that has yet to be explained! Done and done. WE’RE SOLD, RYAN GOSLING! Take a break. Go to Disney Land. But Ryan Gosling, for the same reasons that we all fell in love with him to begin with (good looking and in movies, I guess?) (also his voice!) (AND HE SEEMS SO SWEET!) refuses to step away from trying to win our affection, and last night it came in the form of not letting a woman get hit by a taxi! RYAN!

Ms. Laurie Penny goes on to explain that she is from London and was looking the wrong way (LAURIE!), so she did not notice the taxt headed right towards her, merely INCHES AWAY I imagine in my mind that is influenced by 0 facts. But did he say “hey, girl,” Laurie Penny?

Awwww. Classic RyGos. Never one to stand by and let a person get hit by a taxi even though he is famous, because he is a HERO. And also BEAUTIFUL. But not everything is perfect for Laurie Penny, who used to be a journalist before she was A Woman Who Was Saved By Ryan Gosling:

Heavy is the head that was once near Ryan Gosling’s head when Ryan Gosling, the world’s most beautiful real hero, stopped it from being hit by a taxi. (Thanks for the tip, Dusky Panther!)

And think, if Gwyneth hadn’t ordered the taxi driver to nearly run this woman over, she wouldn’t have such a great story.
I bow to you!
Crazy, Stupid, Taxi.

His disdain for people who don’t use proper capitalization is notorious.
The original title of the movie was “ee cummings and the real girl,” but Gosling wouldn’t agree to come on board unless they changed it.
O.M.G. Was that the reason? I’m so sorry, Ryan! I’ll change for you. Please love me!
I don’t believe YOU! RYAN GOSLING IS A SAINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, a Saint Bernard.
That didn’t really make any sense, but sometimes you just have to ask yourself, “What would AC Slater say in this situation?” And you just have to go with it.

He isn’t an asshole? Or he isn’t NOT an asshole? I don’t understand. Also, how does one fall OUT of love? If love is something you fall INTO, I wouldn’t imagine you could fall OUT of it. I think you would have to climb out.
he isn’t not not a saint. also, i think you’re right. i’ve crawled, climbed and dragged myself out of more people than i can count.
What did he do to you? Spill it!!!
My girlfriend (hold the applause, please) met him once in LA and thought he was positively wonderful. In fact, that she brings how polite and charming he was up a good deal more often then seems entirely necessary.
You SLANDERED our hero’s name because you find him “meh” in movies? 100 POINTS FROM REDUNDANTDORE.

Do you have a story or something that you would like to share with the class? I need supporting evidence. Also, seeing as I have been in love with Ryan Gosling since MMC (longer than I have known my huz–REALLY!) I don’t see myself falling out of love anytime soon. I could never get enough of this:

I think that story might be titled “My Quest for an EGOT”….at least I HOPE SO!??? RyGos does not deserve such snark!!
I don’t think I can trust anyone with a fat Gerard Depardieu avatar.
i guess i just dont find him attractive and he’s generally kinda meh in movies, but i felt that was too boring for you awesome people and i just tried to make some drama to make myself more interesting. (;_; )
Fat Gerard Depardieu? More like sad Gerard Depardieu.
This place is my new therapy.
This has been a brilliant journey of self-awakening, redundant.
He was very polite to me. And he smiled as we looked through jazz records at the same time.
I think comments like these are funny. I don’t disbelieve you, I am sure that Ryan Gosling is an asshole at times. Everyone is an asshole at times! I spend the vast majority of my time being an asshole, but no one cares since I am not famous.
I would honestly be more worried if no one ever said he was a jerk because that means he is a robot. And as we all know, robots invariably turn against their human overlords and start a 1,000 year rule of the machines.
Anyway, It sucks that he was a jerk to you. Question: were you foiling his attempt to steal the Garden of Earthly Delights? Tilda Swinton was ever so cross with me after I inadvertently tripped the Prado’s security during her attempt.
If he’s a robot, that would explain his dead eyes.
I just don’t understand when people say he is “meh” in movies…what actors do you like?
He really does have dead eyes. But he seems to not have gone Manchurian Candidate yet, so I will assume his Monarch Conspiracy training through Disney and the Illuminati have kept him at sleeper cell status for now. Pretty clever, Illuminati.
Does anyone else get the feeling that redundant is working really hard this week to get the lowest rated comment? I say he hasn’t earned it yet.
Someone should learn how to Drive: The Movie!
Beware the Rides of March
(for the sake of the pun, let’s just pretend this incident happened a week ago)
You mean two weeks ago, on the 13th or 15th. (Sorry. I majored in Classics and there’s not that many chances to use it.)
Cars and the Real Girl
Half Nelson Car
Since I seriously just put car at the end of Half Nelson, I felt compelled to actually try, with a Gosling movie I’ve never heard of but totally fits into the car accident theme:
The Vehicular Manslaughter Rule
There’s your stunt casting, Taxi Dave.
In London, her name is Lorry.
“media requests? why are they calling her and not me?”
No way! Literally?
I am constantly thinking about Ryan Gosling and saying “I’d hit that.” That taxi saw Laurie and was totes like “I’d hit that!” Put that in your LOLz and smoke it.
Ok, I have nothing. I just love Ryan Gosling. Catch you on the flip side.
Age ain’t nothing but a number for these loved-up A-Listers. My BF and I both think so! He is almost 10 years older than I. We met via ~~Agelessmeet .COM~~ a nice place for younger women and older men, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other! Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends
A glessmeet? What the hell is a glessmeet? Oh god that sounds like it might take place in a field and be some sort of snipe hunt fiasco, but with fancy equestrian wear. And maybe we would all have hunting rifles. And martinis because now this is like the hunting scene in Gosford Park and while I don’t remember if there were martinis involved in that, there certainly should have been.
You know what? I’ll stay in the manor. Away from knives and poisons and Ryan Phillipes and smoldering angry Clive Owens. I have a book. I’m good.
woah woah WOAH. Clive Owen and martinis? Where do I sign up? If I post my credit card # here will that suffice?
If you can hook me up with Ryan Gosling, you have a new client!
My bf is 20 years older and has a lot of $MONEY$. We met on Kanye’s site: AintSayingSheAGoldDigger.com. Maybe YOU Should ditch that 10 year older man if he ain’t got the duckets. Just saying.

Hey, girl.
Does anyone else think that somewhere out there, Topher Grace is doing all of this same stuff and getting no recognition for it?
You know, Topher, if you miss that column so much, you could probably just email Gabe directly. I think it is gabe@videogum.com.
Also, let’s see that Star Wars Prequel edit you got everybody frothing about.
I’d also like to add no. No one is thinking that. No one. Literally no one.
The lady he saved tweeted: “This whole experience is teaching me a great deal about American cultural production. This place is insane. #ryangosling.” And then she wrote about the incident for Gawker.
Maybe don’t tweet a bunch of stuff about Ryan Gosling and include a hashtag for his name and keep talking to the media if you don’t want attention, Laurie Penny. Just a thought.
I just told my coworkers about her article complaining about people paying attention to this incident that she won’t shut the fuck up about, and one guy said: she’s still bitter that we won our independence.
