up vote for the screen-shot and title....If this guy talks about masturbating when I play the viddy, then you people should probably re-think sexuality...i.e., the dudes gayer than FUCK!...and Edward Norton cute

Humpty Dumpty's American History X

Edward Norton knows how good looking he is and so decided to overpower director Tony Kaye's American History X film, making his own edited cut. This infuriated Kaye, who then demanded that his name be removed from the credits and replaced with Alan Smithee. However, the DGA and the studio refused his request, and also his subsequent request of using the name Humpty Dumpty. Why the refusal? Kaye had publicly attacked the film in national publications, which is against the Alan Smithee policy of the DGA. Imagine Humpty Dumpty's Great Fall remaining unattributed!

I guess you couldn't have predicted it, but I think you'd eventually regret disowning IMDb's 39th top film of all time.

Great scene. Almost as good as Edward Norton's as Tyler Durden.


Dude, that's EXACTLY what I was thinking! Fucking American Beauty stole Fight Club's thunder that year.

Still... excellent flick, American Beauty.

Great scene. Almost as good as Edward Norton's as Tyler Durden.

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video Edward Norton sings "My Baby Just Cares for Me". Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

If you get around to watching it, lemme know what'cha think. You may get a kick out of Jullianne Moore's role.

Sam Rockwell is the shit! Anyone that plays Zaphod Beeblebrox is cool in my book. Though my favorite role of his has gotta be Chuck Barris in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind -- Love that movie sooo much. Which brings to mind a genius writer (Charlie Kaufman) and an actor/director who is both over and underrated: George Clooney. I love half of his work (inevitably the underrated stuff) and the other half I could do without.

Diane Keaton, Nicholas Cage, Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, etc. etc. Don't do it for me either. Though Cage Occasionally gets it right. (Or maybe it's the writers.) Mel, Mel, Mel -- what scares me about him is that his true personality may be Martin Riggs, but with a touch of the religious zealot. Definitely not a good combination. I would be careful not to harm his dog.

Favorite actors... Oh my, where to begin. So many decades of cinema to recall! To avoid a carbon copy of your list -- all noteworthy thesbians -- I'll fill in some of the missing pieces: The Marx Brothers (I love them all equally), Hepburn's flame, Spencer Tracy, the other Hepburn, Audrey (mostly because of those eyes), Cary Grant, Humprey Bogart (Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon are films that I can watch from any point and be satisfied completely for every second the films goes by), Lauren Bacall (Ze Big Sleep; dear lordy, more top ten material), Clark Gable, Gary Oldman (You said it, but he's too good and far too underappreciated to not mention), Helena Bonham Carter (another one I CANNOT avoid mentioning -- a dark favorite of mine: Morgan le Fay, Elizabeth Frankenstein, Ophelia, Anne Boleyn -- dear GOD, she's a even a freakin' death eater. She has to be a reader.), Elliot Gould (More noir favorites), Michael Gambon (brilliant), Alan Rickman, Edward Norton, Tim Roth, Brad Pitt, lil' Dakota Fanning, Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, and Dennis Hopper -- I think that's the cast of Blue Velvet, another potential top ten movie with top ten actors lol. Maybe we should make lists of the people we DON'T like... on second thought... (Sorry, this got long.)

Yes! Mothersbaugh, of course. Wes Anderson's pocket composer and devolution advocate. Don't forget Sigur Ros, either. That's the part of the movie where yer supposed to cry. I heart those Icelanders. A Bowie fan too. David Bowie is my best friend's father.

Make up a top 5 real quick. (No pressure.)

You're right. I have about 15 or so that are floating around in my favorites list. My top movies are not neccesarily the best ones I've seen. Like you said, they are the ones that I have an emotional connection to.

Wes Anderson is awesome but I haven't seen all of his films yet. My favorite so far is also The Life Aquatic. I love those covers. The Mark Mothersbaugh numbers are awesome, too. The scene where Steve introduces his boat and crew, accompanied by Mothersbaugh's "Let Me Tell You About My Boat" is one of my favorite scenes. I also really liked The Royal Tenenbaums.

Oh, underappreciated and overrated actors. It is relatively easy for me to rattle off some of my favorite actors. Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, and Ingrid Bergman are definitely in the top 5. Other actors I love off of the top of my head: Gary Oldman, Anjelica Huston, Gregory Peck, Katharine Hepburn, Bruce Willis (most people love him for the wrong reasons), Bill Murray, Charlie Chaplin, Helena Bonham Carter (I love how much her older stuff contrasts with her more recent roles. She's great.), John Goodman (I have always had a thing for this guy. He is a pleasure to watch.), James Stewart, Topol (I've only seen him in Fiddler but it is one of my favorite performances EVAR), Henry Fonda, Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Oliver Reed. This list was about 5 times as long before I cut it down. You're welcome.

I'm sure you're the same way that I am with actors. Sometimes I love them because they are truly great actors and sometimes I love them because they are good actors and you just enjoy watching them for whatever reason. I admit that one of the reasons that I love Newman, Brando, and Bergman is because they are all incredibly sexy. They also happen to be exceptional actors. Who are your favorites?

Severely overrated: Meg Ryan, Diane Keaton (used to be okay, now I can't stand her), Nicolas Cage (liked him in Matchstick Men...which reminds me that I love Sam Rockwell), Keira Knightly, and there is something about Mel Gibson's acting that seems...is it insincere? Affected? All I know is that something is off with him and I'm not a fan.

I'll rent The Big Lebowski one of these days.

Wow, what a dilemma-

+ Is part of the Terminator series, which contained Terminator, an excellent movie, and Terminator 2, one of the best 5 movies ever made (in my humble opinion)
- Is part of the Terminator series, which contained Terminator 3, one of the worst 5 movies I've ever seen in a theater.

+ Has Christian Bale, who I think is the finest actor of my generation (along with Edward Norton).
- Is directed by someone with a fake name who also directed Charlie's Angels movies.

I must say, the way the trailer teased in the Terminator theme was sublime.

I think it will suck. Edward Norton's career will never recover.

Am really surprised he even picked this. But then again he does angry really well - See American History X.

EDWARD NORTON SMASH

they stole this trick from Edward Norton in The Illusionist

I guess this is my Valentine's sift?

Frida is a 2002 film which depicts the life of the artist Frida Kahlo and portrays the tortured personal life of this Mexican artist. It stars Salma Hayek as Frida Kahlo and Alfred Molina as Diego Rivera.

The movie was adapted by Clancy Sigal, Diane Lake, Gregory Nava, Anna Thomas and Edward Norton (uncredited) from the book Frida: A Biography of Frida Kahlo by Hayden Herrera. It was directed by Julie Taymor while the soundtrack was written by Elliot Goldenthal.

Any movie with 4 Edward Nortons has got to be good.
