How do you feel about DEATH TO SMOOCHY?

(But, yes, Norton does seem to have a higher good-movies-to-bad-movies ratio of many working actors today…)

Maybe there's one I'm not thinking of, but he seems to always be involved in movies worth seeing. Though I’ve seen quite a few sucky Marvel movies, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bad Ed Norton flick.

He does have name recognition, but not enough to headline a movie, ESPECIALLY with all the headaches mentioned above. Let him make his own movie... The Empire link from the Superman item also mentions that Norton's company is producing a pro-Obama documentary, for completion in 2009. Why hire Norton?

And he rewrote the script from the ground up, so he has more creative investment in the movie than simply his performance. Personally, I'm okay with this. Norton is smart, and most tentpole superhero movies would have come out better if someone had stood up and said "Hey wait, this part sucks."
