Is Ed Norton actually a good actor? He always seems to be making the exact same face. I liked him in Kingdom of Heaven (under a mask) but the last movie I saw him in was Red Dragon and he was awful.

Maybe he should stick to voice acting.

I think he's very inconsistent. He displayed some fun, novel charm in the 90s in movies like American History X and Rounders. I tried watching that Motherless Brooklyn movie he wrote, directed and starred in several years ago, and "oof" is all I can say about that one. But he was good in like, what else, ... Birdman. I just think he kind of worn out his welcome and showed all he has to offer. He's about on par with Leo with his acting ability but doesn't have his looks or charisma.

I think this is right on the money.

It's utter nonsense. Excepting the bit about Motherless Brooklyn which I haven't seen, but have no desire to see, and also the book sucks. But otherwise! Nonsense!

sorry, you're pro or anti Norton?

For my money, his best role is 25th Hour, but it's not like he stretched out in that role; I just think his resting state served the movie perfectly.



What's Barry Pepper's best role?

True Grit maybe?

He was good, but I'd say Robert Duvall was better in the same role.

There hasn't been this much consensus on RM since the cinematic classic Dungeons and Dragons.

This was incredible. I absolutely loved it. Great performances, a very satisfying story, classic music - it really had everything. I really like the way black and white movies accentuates shadows and this was probably the best example I've seen.

What would you say differentiates black and white film from color film?

It's been on my mind all day. The scene where the bar patrons drown out the Nazis by singing La Marseillaise is one of the best things I've seen in a movie.

I'm tempted to watch it again tonight - maybe with Ebert's commentary.

This thread has been oddly quiet lately.

I'm getting ready to watch The Last Temptation of Christ.
