I think the one thing that summarized Ed Norton for me was an early profile in the Washington Post when his directorial debut Keeping the Faith was about to be released. A high school friend was quoted as saying that Norton had learned fluent Japanese in a year in order to impress a girl. The two lessons one could glean about him from that were that he was smart enough and dedicated enough to do that but also wanted people to know that he was smart enough and dedicated enough to do that. Even if his ego has sometimes gotten in the way, he is a better than average person when it comes to the self-awareness of his foibles and talents and place in the world. He has stuck to his guns even when it cost him. He is probably still the most talented actor of his generation. To paraphrase Pauline Kael regarding Orson Welles, he had such enormous latent talent that he could take material that was beneath him, perform it in such a way that everyone knew he regarded it as beneath him, and still do a better job than everyone else he was working with. If you catch him in a bad interview, it's probably because he's overthinking all the possible implications of everything he says and is trying to do threat modeling in his head while being conversational.

I really enjoyed Norton's portrayal of Hulk, perhaps because the actor probably suffers from a plethora of undiagnosed mental issues and whose neurotic quirks border on total - psychosis. That kind of psychological detail and especially with his prior roles made him perfect for a character with two very different selves, and an anger problem. He was compelling in the role. I really dig Ruffalo as an actor in general, but never thought he was all that "fun" as Hulk. Ruffalo always seems to come across as someone who is trying to pass a kidney stone in every scene. I get that he's ashamed and a bit embarrassed by his "urges" but his reserved demeanor is just too subtle and obsequious in nature to be all that interesting.

I don’t remember the title of the film but his role as the whistleblower against Dupont Chemical was incredible. Even the actual man that he portrayed and his wife said he did a good job.

@@Mixmastermez Fully agreed. I read the novel and thoroughly enjoyed it. What Palahniuk meant was that he felt the film did a more credible job using his source material than he did in writing the novel. I'm sure he was using the word "ashamed" rather loosely. He said that the changes that were made, such as the way the narrator and Tyler "meet", the ending, and other changes improved the storyline. He also felt the all the actors, particularly the three leads, were perfect representations of their characters. It's an amazing compliment for the film.

Geniuses are always "difficult to work with," because they have a unique vision others cannot see, which evokes jealousy and all the bad behaviors that go with that. Everyone needs to just get out of Norton's way and let him do what he wants, so we can all benefit from his rare multi talents.

@@AntonAdelson ya definitely Robin did a unique performance, just as good as Edward in smoochy. I always liked it when Robin played the bad guy. Looking at his movie list cool he did smoochy and insomnia the same year, playing a very creepy bad guy in both movies. But Rainbow Randolph was redeemed, Walter Finch was just bad
