Make Your Own Yarn Ryan Gosling: Some Heroes Are Crocheted
Despite that one disgruntled moviegoer's complaints, there are plenty of diehard members of the cult of Drive, which incidentally has racked up a cool $30 million to date. Not too shabby, Film District. Perhaps it's fitting, then, that Ryan Gosling's Driver character has now been commemorated in the cutest, cuddliest way imaginable: as a crocheted amigurumi doll, complete with his signature toothpick and a yarn hammer. And you thought YOU were obsessed with Drive. Hit the jump for today's Buzz Break...

In a harrowing adventure, he must deliver her safely to Haven before the End of Days." [Press release]

Weird because the type of people I imagine being interested in crochet and the type of people I imagine liking 'Drive' do not overlap at all.
Ah, wait until you're 50.
Drive was a big disappointment (apart from the brilliant opening scene). Overrated.
One of the best movies of the year by far and one of the best movies by gosling too, along with half nelson, which also strangely happens to have a cool crocheted version!
