      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.
