let's get baked
Twin Nortons by snax	Nov 14th, 2008 11:37:54 AM
Just more of him to love, the good and the bad!
Sounds good! by TheMcflyFarm	Nov 14th, 2008 11:38:16 AM
and making the photo that big makes it really easy to see where they spliced the shots!
It doesn't look right.... by UndeadXeke	Nov 14th, 2008 11:40:53 AM
The Norton on the right looks like he's pointing to someone sat next to the Norton on the left....
BADASS SPOILER by Nathaniel Amroth	Nov 14th, 2008 11:41:42 AM
So I have an acting teacher who plays a rival pot grower in this movie and apparently he shoots pot-Ed Norton with a bow and arrow. I am so psyched.
More yummy by snax	Nov 14th, 2008 11:43:16 AM
Looking at larger image, I can also tell that they are drinking Avery Brewing's India Pale Ale. Not only is he a pothead, he's a hophead :P
THIS MOIVE SOUNDS AWESOME!!! by Series7	Nov 14th, 2008 11:46:48 AM
All bets are off, most anticipated movie of 09. You had me at the other is a pot-grower in Oklahoma. Though I would like to point out, Oklahoma is better known for its meth, thank you very much.
So.. by kingoflight	Nov 14th, 2008 11:50:24 AM
after this movie is out they are going to legalise pot ?
Bad splicing by two fathoms deep	Nov 14th, 2008 11:52:59 AM
That's like Parent Trap bad splicing. Anyway the one w/ the longer hair looks like Paul Dano, who did his own role as twins.
Whoa by Cobbio	Nov 14th, 2008 11:57:58 AM
Damn, I can't wait to see this! Twin Ed Nortons, both geniuses, Susan Sarandon, Richard Dreyfuss as a drug lord... I'm so there on opening weekend.
Wait, so this isn't a Walt Witman biopic. by rbatty024	Nov 14th, 2008 12:01:11 PM
Then count me out! Although, I do like Edward Norton, so maybe you can count me in. Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, I am large I contain multitudes.
So... by DeeJay	Nov 14th, 2008 12:01:26 PM
... which one is supposed to "look" like a college professor? With such talents as Norton and Nelson, I'd question whether this project would play into the stereotypes, here...
Photoshopped.... by rxse7en	Nov 14th, 2008 12:05:20 PM
box over the bong. :D
So the long haired Norton is the pot grower? by skimn	Nov 14th, 2008 12:07:07 PM
It would be so much cooler, and against cliche, if the long haired tatooed Norton was the prof, and the straight arrow Norton was the pot grower... Could be the best twins movie since Adaptation. Tell me Cage didn't shine in that...
DeeJay by skimn	Nov 14th, 2008 12:09:08 PM
Ya beat me to it brother.
Oh and get a chance to see Dead Ringers by skimn	Nov 14th, 2008 12:11:40 PM
with a brilliant Jeremy Irons. Do we open up this TB with favorite twin movies..?
UndeadXeke - Thought The Same Thing by BojTrek	Nov 14th, 2008 12:20:04 PM
Hey UndeadXeke, I thought the same thing... in motion, I am sure it will be fine... but that picture looks like the Norton on the right is pointing and looking to the left of the Norton on the left... WEIRD! Just off enough to grab your eye.
UndeadXeke and BojTrek by skimn	Nov 14th, 2008 12:31:08 PM
You're right. The eye lines are off. The left side Norton is looking straight ahead. The right side has his head turned slightly to his right.
Leaves of grass my ass! by rev_skarekroe	Nov 14th, 2008 12:38:39 PM
I hate you, Walt freaking Whitman!
Nortin's talking to himself again! by Prague23	Nov 14th, 2008 12:49:16 PM
I love Norton. Looking forward to his doc about Obama's campaign.

the pentagon just confirmed it.
skimn by rhcp2sweet	Nov 14th, 2008 01:05:41 PM
Just watched Adaptation a few weeks ago and that movie still kicks serious ass and it's one of the few roles where I actually like cage. "A little push, push in the bush!!!"
I'm so there!!!! by larkn	Nov 14th, 2008 01:05:52 PM
I love Edward Norton. I think he's one of the most talented and brilliant actors out there. To get a double dose of him as a genius is just too delicious for words. I'm so there. Can't wait!!!!
I said DOOMSDAY. by IndoorPlumbing	Nov 14th, 2008 01:11:06 PM
First live action portrayal of the monster who kills superman!!!!! anyone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =KQiZQA7V66Y
Not Ruling Out the Possibility of This Being Good BUT by chaplinatemyshoe	Nov 14th, 2008 01:11:42 PM
Post-Hayek Norton hasn't exactly had the best taste in movies. And the supporting cast sounds like it could swing either away on the good bad scale.
Hrrrrmmm... by macheesmo3	Nov 14th, 2008 01:15:46 PM
Isn't playing twins the " jumping the shark" of acting? It rarely seems to wrk that well , and only a couple have been great. ( Jeremy Irons in Dead Ringers is one) . I dunno , it just always distracts me for some reason.
I'd like to noodle Keri Russell... by Chishu_Ryu	Nov 14th, 2008 01:15:51 PM
Uh...whatever noodling is...

Who would need to see that picture bigger? by FlickaPoo	Nov 14th, 2008 01:30:47 PM
...respectfully, I will decline to click. Sounds like fun though...
TWINS by CharyouTree	Nov 14th, 2008 01:41:33 PM
Best Twin movie EVER "DON'T TALK BACK YAKKITY YAK"
"Jumping the shark" of acting by skimn	Nov 14th, 2008 01:46:15 PM
as ably illustrated in Tropic Thunder is portraying a reta...I'm mean mentally challenged individual.
cool. norton's ego double sized + ganja. sounds fun. by pipergates	Nov 14th, 2008 01:47:14 PM

Re: my previous post by skimn	Nov 14th, 2008 01:50:27 PM
And since Norton played a guy pretending to be challenged in The Score, where does that put him?
Best twins movie ever... by YeahSureWhatever	Nov 14th, 2008 01:51:55 PM
Double Impact..don't fuck with Van Damme.

Pot smokers should be shot. by Speed Fricassee	Nov 14th, 2008 02:16:56 PM
Lazy goddamn hippies. Spoiled bitches out to selfishly ruin everything. When I'm President, I'll pass a law that lets civilians shoot smokers, no questions asked.

Hot on the hells of that Cheech & Chong news by PotSmokinAlien	Nov 14th, 2008 03:11:53 PM
...and this is wayyy more like it. I'm psyched. But I bet getting high with Edward Norton in real life would suck.
PotSmokinAlien by mr.brownstone	Nov 14th, 2008 03:28:15 PM
please elaborate on why you think it would suck.

Lawdie lawd lawd! by seppukudkurosawa	Nov 14th, 2008 04:07:22 PM
I find Edward Norton annoying enough lately in just one role, let alone two.
ChocolateJesus by Speed Fricassee	Nov 14th, 2008 04:28:42 PM
Suck my 12-guage.
Wow! Breaking news! by Charlie_Allnut	Nov 14th, 2008 04:41:41 PM
A picture of Ed Norton! (the actor who used to do really interesting movies) Stop the presses!
..and due to a crazy mix-up the dope grower by skimn	Nov 14th, 2008 05:01:56 PM
has to teach a college class, and the professor gets involved in a big marijuana deal. Hilarity ensues.

Well at least if one of them gets the arse by Vim Fuego	Nov 14th, 2008 09:56:54 PM
The other one will be able to do the publicity.
looks like Bruce Banner & Napolien Dynamite by LargoJr	Nov 14th, 2008 10:45:51 PM
And he's about to tell himself he likes is white shirt, it's nice and frilly
about pointing, and cake... by onezeroone	Nov 15th, 2008 04:07:15 AM
the cake so bviously photoshopped, maybe just on the image, not in actual shot. And maybe the clean-cut Norton is pointing not to his twin but something else, like door, or trashbin, or his stash of pot...
When you blow it up by myspoonistoobig	Nov 15th, 2008 04:18:56 AM
It's shockingly easy to see the seam, but my eyes fall for it when it's in a smaller form. But yes indeed, the Norton on the right seems to be looking a little to the side of the norton on the left. And I agree that the Norton on the left should be the teacher.
You had me at Richard Dreyfuss drug lord by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Nov 15th, 2008 09:56:59 AM
Maybe this will make up for his wimp role in Poseidon.

Smoking pot is for losers. by alienindisguise	Nov 15th, 2008 11:49:34 AM
morons.
Re: losers by skimn	Nov 15th, 2008 12:46:07 PM
Yea, but I'd trade my life with Willie Nelson's in a second. Well, not the grizzled 70-year old part, but you know what I mean...

Bill Clinton giving Monica that book right after getting a bj.
He's so good... by viola123	Nov 16th, 2008 03:35:15 AM
Ed Norton really is. I cringed at him doing that Hulk movie this summer, but thankfully, it'll probably be a one-time thing. hopes. This is much more like it. Ed Norton pushing the envelope and himself. I like.
DOOMSDAY LOOKS AWESOME! by SkidMarkedUndies	Nov 16th, 2008 08:32:25 AM
How the hell is Clark going to stop that mofo?
I heard... by BigTexas42	Nov 17th, 2008 12:50:34 PM
that one of the ed nortons is being played by christain bale.
Long haired one... by sewiz	Nov 17th, 2008 09:44:20 PM
Looks like a lot of the profs at my College. Of course most of them grew pot, too.
