Dec 28 2007First Look at How Incredible Edward Norton is in 'The Incredible Hulk'
The first two shots from The Incredible Hulk have been released, revealing that Edward Norton as Bruce Banner wears Dockers and his watch on the inside of his wrist. So cool. Summary:
Edward Norton stars in this new beginning as Bruce Banner, a scientist desperately hunting for a cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and unleashes the unbridled force of rage within him - The Incredible Hulk.
You know, if he's really desperate to find a cure, you'd think he wouldn't go by "The Incredible Hulk." The whole "incredible" thing makes the search for a cure seem sort of disingenuous. It's like someone saying, "I have to find a cure before the full moon!"
"Really? Why?"
"I'll become This Really Awesome Werewolf."
"Are you sure you're trying to cure this?"
"Yeah, definitely. You think I like how incredibly awesome I become during a full moon?"
"Well, it just seems like you really build-up how great this werewolf side is, calling it awesome all the time."
"Let me make this perfectly clear: when the full moon's light transforms me, I am a monster! Just a really, really awesome monster."
And so on. See the Bruce Banner "Docker Science Slacks" ad, under the cut.

Why do I want to have sex with Edward Norton now? What's happening?

It looks like he's wearing a second tank top underneath his tank top. This must be in reference to Hulk # 237, where Bruce Banner makes a similar fashion faux pas.

Is it just me, or does it seem too soon.
It's like when you're at this bar (movie blog) flirting with this girl (new hulk movie), and she's cute and everything (awesome and staring ed norton), and you have no problem taking her home and banging her (reading script spoilers), but that's it. You're not ready for a real relationship (dropping $10 at the theater or $20 at best buy). It's not her. She's great (again, ed norton). It's just that you just got hurt in a relationship (Ang Lee), and you're vulnerable (really want a good hulk movie).
I just need more time, Ed. Call me again in 3-4 years, and I think I'll be ready.

I must say, I do like Ed Norton's man-tits. Of course, I don't know how I feel about this movie. At least the first one had enough camp to make it somewhat ok that you're staring at a 8 foot jolly green giant who's also angry. I don't know how they're going to make a dramatic Hulk movie. It's like trying to make a dramatic, non-gay Captain America movie. It's not possible.

They should've made the hulk grey like in the old comics. Then they could've turned him green by the 3rd or 4th sequel, by that time a series starts getting silly anyway.

Why can't the thinly veiled commercials have good grammar? What part of a poorly formed sentence with missing words shouts out 'great ad campaign' to anyone?
I hope Laura at #8 gets gamma radiation poisoning.. the real kind not the cool comic-book kind that turns you into a superhero.

Norton is cool, but just what, exactly, was wrong with Eric Bana? Blame Ang for using Hulk as a prelude to Bareback Jack. Nick Nolte and Bana may as well have just made out in the final scene.
Wait, the guy who directed The Transporter is doing this?...Can someone send a pair of assless chaps to Mr. Lee as a token and get him back here, please?

I am Hulk's incredibleness and awesomeness.

The word incredible doesn't mean awesome (even awesome doesn't mean what people think it does), that's just the connotation it's been given. Break it down and it's not-credit-able. It means unbelievable. Which by the Hulk's size and strength and so on makes perfect sense.
...not to make waves or anything.

those aren't Dockers they're Banana Republic chinos.
In case you want to get your Halloween costume right.

To Alice: I ALWAYS want to have sex with Edward Norton. This movie'll probably suck but I'd watch him in anything. ANYTHING!

I'm with Moat on this one. It's too soon. I've been hurt before.

Is this going to become a Pre-Avengers Hollywood thing?
Or is this an advance notice for Wolverine vs. The Hulk?

That turning-into-Hulk chair is totally from the TV show.
