Before he was Kenough, Ryan Gosling inhabited many other offbeat roles.

This actor has been in the neighborhood of this creative world before, not as a doll loving another doll, but as a man who (respectfully) loves his purchased girl doll. I know some of you reading this post were looking for something more titillating, but I have to let you down there.

So let me hip you to a few other worthy Gosling gems you can familiarize yourself with on MMN or elsewhere.

Blade Runner 2049 - He’s a replicant which is sort of like a doll, but very intelligent with strength beyond a normal human.

Drive - A man of few words who earns his money as a stunt driver by day and wheelman by night.

Only God Forgives - A revenge story which could have easily been Drive 2.

The Believer - You have to believe in something even if you are a Jewish Neo-Nazi trying to make a name for himself.

The Notebook - Your mom probably loves this film so you should watch it with her.

The Nice Guys - The most loveable alcoholic detective who should quit drinking and go hang with Doc.

Now get yourself some Marijuana Movie Night cannabis and enjoy. For the record, StrainRx has no affiliation with this site and I’m too broke to sue them, but feel a tiny bit flattered.
