goose ballet

“Hey girl, cavalier is a ballet term. Haha, I know how much you love ballet humor.”

FilmDrunk favorite Ryan “Baby Goose” Gosling was spotted taking ballet classes recently in what many are calling the least surprising story of the year. E! Online News reported that the star of the Notebook and Lars and the Real Girl was seen leaving The Edge dance studio in Hollywood, after which he stopped to chat with his adoring fans, and for the sake of our own lore, he saved some kittens from being drowned by Al Qaeda.

Take it away, guy who makes me feel great about my name, Ted Casablanca:

Now, we knew he was taking classes for his “posture” (pssh), but that was, like, months ago. That means the guy is either taking more ballet for an upcoming movie (which we hear is true), or he’s just fallen in love with the glitz and glamour of grand jetés and pirouettes (which we so wish was truer). Wonder which it is.

Well, Baby Goose is only attached to three projects currently – Crazy, Stupid, Love, which is about a dad and his kids; Drive, which is about a stuntman who is also a getaway driver; and All Good Things, which is a true-crime drama that hits theaters as soon as next week. But let’s be real – it doesn’t matter what his movies are about, because he could easily convince the director to add a scene in which he uses a pirouette to rescue his lover from a large rain puddle. (And then he’d have a satire Twitter account shut down because he has no sense of humor *violently shakes fist*.)

As for All Good Things, the picture was recently rescued by Magnolia Pictures and Baby Goose and Kirsten Dunst (Ed. – Baby Moose?) could debut on the big screen by July 28. In one theater. Nationwide.

An eagle-eyed tipster points to the Laemmle Theaters site, which had (see below) AGT quietly debuting July 28 at Encino’s Town Center 5 — one afternoon screening per day. That’s the kind of surreptitious end-run you usually see for Oscar-qualifying documentaries, not highly anticipated dramatic narratives with two young stars like Gosling and Dunst (not to mention a supporting cast that includes Frank Langella and Kristen Wiig). The distributor cited is Magnolia Pictures. (Source)

Yeah, that is pretty shocking. I remember saying to my dog the other day, “You’re on your own for food on July 22nd through 28th because I’ll be camping out to get tickets to see a movie with Kirsten Dunst and Frank Langella.” Haha, I love you, Snaggletooth!
