So after watching the remake of the Incredible Hulk, my opinions are:
1) Edward Norton is one of the best actors I've ever seen. He manages to play Bruce Banner like some sort of mix of
Wandering Jew archetype and a junkie. How did he do his little method acting thing I wonder? Did he shoot up on steroids and beat the shit out of things?
and
2) Liv Tyler is the worst actor i think I have ever seen. Every line is that breathless, Lady Macbeth-style overacting that's completely bullshit, especially for someone that is supposedly of her caliber. It does wonders when your dad is Steven Tyler though, I guess. Seriously, when she's filming with Edward Norton and John Hurt, does she realise that she is as shitty as she is? Do they wince internally wheneve she reads her lines?
Anyway, i was pleasantly surprised at how good the movie was, Liv Tyler excluded. I hope that there is an Avengers movie coming out. Iron Man was good, this was good, the Spiderman movie (the first one at least) was good.
Right now I'm watching Easy Rider, one of my favorites, with the wife, who is dubious of its actual worth as a film. I MUST prove her wrong.
Also I'm reading Hells Angels by HST. I think that's why i wanted to watch this as well...
