I saw Fight Club for the first time yesterday and to the best of my memory, this was the second time I consciously noticed Edward Norton in a movie (I have a bad memory for actor's names and faces, I may have seen him around but wouldn't know).

The first time was Primal Fear.

This makes Edward Norton the second most specific type cast in hollywood in my book (right after the actress who played cinderella's evil stepsister in like, three different adaptations).

#despite years of memes and being on the internet i somehow missed the Fight Club plottwist and I am insanely grateful for it #i'd need a rewatch to make a sure decision but after the first watch i feel like the message of radicalisation #is stronger when brad pitt and edward norton are just really toxic friends #and edward norton realizes how fucked up everything got when he's in way too deep and can't get out anymore #but a rewatch mind change my opinion once i have a better grasp how the plot twist influenced the story/theme before #anyway #fight club #primal fear #edward norton #fight club 1999 #very stoked to play edward norton bingo on american history x #i know my sample size is like two movies and edward norton is an extremely prominent actor #but the fact that he plays the same plottwist twice but once in reverse technically tickles me so much #director: i need someone to play this character with the hollywood version of DID-#casting director: man do i have the guy for you
