The trailer for the film “Gangster Squad,” the new Sean Penn/Ryan Gosling/Josh Brolin fall epic, has been around for a few months, but it’s only in the wake of the current shooting that a key scene in this trailer (starting at around 2:03) became an issue. See, this film’s trailer shows a shootout taking place in a movie theater. With reality mimicking fantasy a little too much, the trailer — which was playing before some screenings of “The Dark Knight Rises,” but not the Colorado screenings — was pulled Friday morning. Nikki Finke of Deadline seems to think it was a bad idea in the first place.
Before the Mickey Mouse Club discovered the now-ubiquitous actor/hunk/superhero, Ryan Gosling was a gawky Canadian kid with a horrible bowl cut who just happened to have some nasty dance moves. Here he is in 1991, melting hearts with this angelic cover of “When a Man Loves a Woman” and breaking it down to C+C Music Factory’s “Everybody Dance Now” with his sister, Mandi.
At one point he pushes his sister out of the way to upstage her. Top that.
Surprisingly, this isn’t an Occupy post: Do you think Ryan Gosling was robbed of People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” title this year? Well, these protesters do, too. Our pals at BuzzFeed started a whole petition to promote Gosling to his rightful place. Today, protesters met outside of People’s NY HQ with chants, signs and masks. We are the 99%, indeed. source
