jenn—You always ask the hard, challenging questions. Gosling doesn’t show his 8-pack the way he did in CSL but he does get to be flirtatious and sexy. I’ll remember to cover this in all future reviews of those guys’ movies. If there’s someone else you’d like to ask to the list, please let me know.

Christine and Shell—A cast can only do so much without a good script and strong director. Here, it all works. Christine, I vote for a trip to the theater! (See what I did there? I wrote “vote” and, you know, it’s a political movie? BAM! Still groaning, Paulette?)

And will you PLEASE include this info in any Gosling or Craig movie? Thanks. 😉

le0pard13—I think you’ll like it or your money back! Not from me, just ask the theater manager.

Benoit—They say if a director hires the right actors, half his job is done. Well, Clooney was no dummy when he did the casting, but he did his part, too, considering he wore three hats on this.

EIREGO—Love the poster. This movie is just smart all around.

Poncho & le0—I’d pick Drive, though if he gets a nom, it’s more likely to be for this because it’s more the kind of “prestigious” fare the Academy prefers.

I think Gosling is a shoe-in for an Oscar nod, either for Drive or this film. If you were to choose, which one do you think is better?
