Haha! Feaaaaa!! I didn't know you still came on here. Yup tis the summer holidays again so KMC was calling haha.

Whoops better stay on topic. I absolutely love The Painted Veil. That's not my favourite film for his acting but my favourite overall (I'm not saying his acting was bad at all it just didn't make you think "wow!" compared with other films). That and Fight Club are my favourite films of his. Oh and I did like The Incredible Hulk too, the action in it was just wooooah! Oh and American History X of course.

What do you mean the same reason why you came on?

I think he's a great actor!I love fight club

As did I, Fight Club is one of the best movies I've ever seen, hands down. I truly hope that Norton comes back for a couple more Hulk movies, he's exactly what I imagined for Bruce Banner.

I love Edward Norton. He is a great actor and I feel rather underrated.

And he comes across quite humble to me.

He doesn't seem underrated to me. He actually seems to have quite the fanbase, and rightfully so. Norton is one of THE best.

I think he is a great actor, I haven't seen him in a film I didn't really enjoy. I don't really care much about the personality bit, most actors are pretentious and full of it so I doubt he is much different from the rest of them!

You can't make a judgment call about someone based on the actions of others.

I saw him in "The Incredible Hulk" first, then in "Fight Club" which was a phenomenal performance. More than likely I'll get his new movie once it hits DVD shelves.

incredible hulk was the 1st movie you saw him in?...have you been living under a rock?

seriously though...if you want to check out his best performances...american history x....25th hour

ignore most of the rest of his work...it tends to be...shit

Living under a rock? Hardly, I don't have time to just look up people...I'm only 14, by the way, so there's a lot of movies I've yet to see.

i wasn't meaning it in a harsh way anyway...but you should check out those movies i mentioned if you can...not just two of Norton's best but 2 of the best modern dramas around

I certainly will...I'm also looking forward to his new movie coming out, I liked what I saw from the trailer.

you mean pride and glory?...if so then yeah it looks pretty good...kind of reminds of "we own the night" with the 2 brothers on opposite sides of the law angle...could be good though...i'm still never entirely convinced of Colin Farrell as an American though...he does the cheeky Irishman well because it doesn't really require acting ability ?:L

Yeah, I was referring to "Pride & Glory". I watched an interview of Ed Norton from Conan O'Brien's show, and I like what I heard about the story.

25th Hour is outstanding, I'm actually looking forward to seeing Pride and Glory.

-AC

Pride and Glory looks excellent, I believe Sage Francis has done the music, or contributed a few songs that appeared on his latest album, lovely.

ed's not oscar caliber but he is good.

he's always playing skweaky roles where he gets beat up or is a smart ass.

he plays pathetic characters really convincingly.

i wouldn't have said Derek Vinyard was pathetic or weak...and it's arguably his best role.

I concur. He was amazing as Derek Vinyard. In Primal Scream he was excellent as well!
