Ryan Gosling, blockbusting

Rumor has it that Ryan Gosling is set to take over the role of Jack Ryan in a round of new movies. Weird. Weren't the "Bourne" movies supposed to obviate the need for more Clancy-ishness? Did Hollywood learn nothing from Ben Affleck's try? And while I've enjoyed Gosling as a neo-Nazi, a crackhead teacher, and Bianca's boyfriend, the idea of him in a suit with a gun does not turn me. But I do support his obligation as a young actor to blow up a lot of stuff in the name of making the world a better place.
