Mr. Smoogj said:I can't think of even three roles from Norton that actually matter.

1. Generation X
2. x 2. Fight Club 3. Primal Fear
(He was actually quite solid in his first serious role)
People claim he's just as good in The Illusionist, but there's an equal amount of trash in his filmography (like The Italian Job or Keeping The Faith). In my opinion, he’s got massive talent, but his career isn't heading where it should have, and people are slowly starting to forget him. Cusack feels much more present and consistent (if that's even the right word), even though Norton is the superior talent—so my vote goes to him...

I don't know what to tell you... it feels kind of insane to me..

🤣 🤣

Leon definitely👍 I wasn't a fan of The Fifth Element, but I have to say, I really enjoyed Isabella of Castile when I watched it recently..

I actually forgot about that part myself.👍

If you believe what IMDb says, they had already split up by 2003.

For me, it's his Being John Malkovich.👍

Scott Ortiz5 said:lol, making a claim like that and then trying to lecture me on taste? Unbelievable.
What can I even say? Personally, I think both LIT and VS are excellent films. That’s also the case for plenty of people I know whose cinematic taste I actually respect.

As someone who values being open-minded, it seems you don't have much trouble accepting tastes that differ from your own.😉

This movie is one of those where people always say, "if you don't get it..." but honestly, there isn't anything to get.👎
Sophia definitely wouldn't be where she is today if her husband wasn't Spike Jonze and her father wasn't Francis. Up until now, she hasn't shown an ounce of actual talent or originality. But, as the user before me pointed out, tastes differ. For me, it just doesn't work.

Well, this definitely wasn't for me.👎
The movie was supposed to be shocking or something, but it just felt like one more entry in a long line of teenage dramas (being slow and boring isn't the same thing as being shocking and provocative)...
It’s pretty cinematography that ultimately goes nowhere (similar to Lost in Translation), the symbolism is a bit too on the nose, and the boys' dialogue—especially toward the end—sounds incredibly cheesy (they say the book is much better, too).
I think the film achieved cult status more because of Sofia Coppola and the casting, specifically Kathleen Turner👍... overall, I didn't like it.

The movie itself is just bad.👎It didn't quite land the way the director intended... at least not for me.
I've heard plenty of praise for this one, but personally, it’s nothing I’ll be remembering anytime soon.
