Edward Norton is the most "had a spark when you started" actor

[Remote]

Really, is anyone impressed with this guy's career since like 2000?

Primal Fear (1996) - fantastic.
The People vs Larry Flynt (1996) - great.
American History X (1998) - probably the role of his career.
Rounders (1998) - classic.
Fight Club (1999) - legendary.

Ever since then....trash.

Maybe....MAYBE you can give him The 25th Hour (2002). But really. Have you seen ANYONE fall off this hard?

Nicholas Cage

I actually think he's still good.
I feel like they don't put him in the right movies though.

There was a period of time where they tried to make him into some summer blockbuster guy. And I think he does his best work with indie movies and character roles.

Like, let's say you give him the kind of roles that....Colin Farrell gets. Like, not necessarily a guy who has to be the main lead, but not entirely an overlooked guy like David Paymer.

I got it. You put Nicholas Cage in the movies that John Turturro gets...everyone will say he's a legend.

You will accept that Norton slander and sit down quietly with your nasty ass multigrain toast and Vegemite.

He pissed off too many directors, actors and execs. Hardly anyone wants to work with him these days.
