      Well I’d like to thank you. I’ve been considering watching that movie because my friend wouldn’t shut up about it. Now that I know Ed Norton is in it I can say fuck that and avoid it at all possible costs.

        Not to spoil it, but edward norton does a good job of playing an unlikeable main character. It was silly but fun and worth the watch i think.

          Yeah well he also does a great job at being an unlikeable human too. I’ll pass.

          He was basically blacklisted from a huge section of Hollywood for pulling what I’d refer to as a Chevy Chase. Only difference is that Ed retained his talent. No shortage of reporting on it either. It’s why he ran off to the tech world for a hot second. People just don’t want to work with him. Personally I’ve had a run in with him too, or been in the same area anyway. He was getting angry with some barrista that they didn’t recognize him and give him the drink for free. Was at that point I decided to purposefully never give him any attention because the motherfucker clearly has too much if that went that far to his head.

            You’re of course free to watch whatever you like, but it seems to be that if you are going to boycott anything which involves someone who happens to be an asshole, then there isn’t going to be anything left for you to enjoy.

              I’m not boycotting it. I just don’t want to watch it. I don’t care if he works or does whatever. My point is I do not want to waste my time on his existence. After seeing him rave like a narcissistic lunatic cunt I cannot see anything but that now. His characters don’t exist to me, I can’t see them. I only see the smug prick that is Ed Norton.

              There are plenty of Hollywood assholes. Some I don’t watch. Some I do.

            Honestly, getting blacklisted by Hollywood should be a commendable accomplishment today. We’ve long since figured out that “difficult to work with” is often code for “wouldn’t suck my cock”, both literally and figuratively.

          Haven’t seen the first one either. I’m not big on movies for some reason. Can watch a season of a show in a day or two but can’t watch a movie

            If you like funky murder mysteries, you’ll like the first one.

            It’s pretty damn good, and a bit shocking to see Daniel Craig put on a good take on a southern accent.
