They’ve got cold weather, everybody’s dirty, a lot of shady looking characters and …
If I’ve been beating the Only God Forgives drum a fair bit around here lately, it’s not because a) I want to see Ryan Gosling’s pretty face or b) I’m jealous of Ryan Gosling’s pretty face and want to see it walloped like a red-haired stepchild.
