Everyone who says he only plays mutes must've literally only seen Drive and/or (heard of) Only God Forgives.
Gosling is a great actor, with a lot of range. But what makes him 'special', or at least one of Hollywood's hottest commodities, is that he generally picks his roles very carefully (I'll be ignoring the bad picks down here, although what they have in common is that they're all studio flicks he did to keep his name out there).
Dude had to build his career of Young Hercules and instead of going on the heart throb tour right away he starred in respected drama's like Remember The Titans (oh yeah, I bet you all forgot he was in that) and The Believer (which one might call his American History X).
Then he capitalized on his heart throb status with The Notebook, which is the ultimate romantic tear jerker of all romantic tear jerkers and got girls wet for him to this very day.
Instead of capitalizing on that and getting into bigger movies, he went on the indie tour, becoming a critical darling with strong performances in small productions like Half Nelson, Lars And The Real Girl and Blue Valentine.
Coming of that critical acclaim he went and upped his Hollywood profile again with Crazy, Stupid Love (capitalizing of his heart throb status once more) and The Ides Of March (lead role in a George Clooney production, big deal).
Then Drive happened. What people don't know about Drive, is that this was originally intended as an action vehicle for Hugh Jackman. The original director left, and the new director got rid of Jackman and got Gosling. Gosling then talked the producers to get rid of the director (!) and got to hand pick the new director, Nicolas Winding Refn, himself, with whom he turned Drive into the ultimate cross-over movie, an arthouse action thriller.
It was a movie they had total control over and it worked completely. Refn finally had his American breakthrough (he bankrupted himself with his first attempt with Fear X) while Gosling got his most iconic role yet.
The guy is now at a point in his career where he could do any movie he wants, so what does he do? He's continuing to work with Refn, his movie making soul mate, and currently directing his self-written debut movie, an opportunity he got because of Drive (same producers).
And the grand plan still isn't finished. Recently he's been getting really cozy with Warner Bros. Crazy Stupid Love and Gangster Squad both were WB movies and he's been attached to their currently-shelved Logan's Run remake for the longest. Recently, they acquired the distribution rights to his debut movie.
You can bet your ass that if he steps into a major blockbuster, it's going to be a WB flick, and I wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to get him in one of the DC movies. Especially since Refn has openly admitted to wanting to do Wonder Woman, so WB might be looking to score both of them (he was also attached to Logan's Run coming of Drive until that movie fell through).
Anyway, the point is, you shyt on Gosling, it means you just don't know your shyt. But what you do know now is why the fukk he's in my avi.

I love the fact dudes are posting in a forum about "XBOX One, Playstation 4, Wii U, 3DS, Vita, Movies, iPhone, Android, Blackberry 10, and Windows Phone 8 Discussions" and are calling other posters nerds

Dude is a very solid actor, low key dudes fimography is very good. Every movie of his is not a classic, but he avoids stinkers. Dude can be commercial or indie at the drop of a hat. That is a lot harder than people realize. Blue Valentine and the Ides of March are my favorite movies with him. Dude is still very young and is just now entering his prime. I think he has grown a lot as an actor. He may be the next Paul Newman (big shoes but he seems to be going in that trajectory).

this literally has to be the result of homosexuality or trolling. there's no other reason
