...successful young actor wondering whether to go ahead and direct a movie, you'll first want to take that call from Warren Beatty. That's what Edward Norton did a while back: had an out-of-the-blue phone session with the future winner of the Irving G. Thalberg Award.

Have you ever seen the movie Fight Club? In the film, Edward Norton plays a man who has become more or less emasculated by society. He lives in a trendy, tidy apartment and attends several therapy groups. He hasn't really experienced what it's like to be a true man; sensitivity and political correctness have taken the place of honesty and national pride. While the heroes of yesteryear were war veterans and self-made men, the male superstars of today are stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, someone who cares more about his hair than about football.
