Just Curious

Are we sure this is actually Sean Penn? Couldn't it easily be Edward Norton, wearing that sleazy moustache he wears in every other movie?

Do we have evidence that these are two separate people?

And, assuming, arguendo, that there are in fact two distinct people, one named "Sean Penn" and the other "Edward Norton," do we really need both such people? Wouldn't one of them suffice?

I'm not saying that I hope any harm should come to either of these thespianic giants. I'm just saying that, you know, if a truck falls on one of them, we've got a spare.

Critical redundancy-- that's the American way. Maybe that's why half of Gulf refineries are getting ready to start pumping out gasoline again, we've avoided the worst-case disruptions in supplying the nation, and oil prices are falling back to pre-Katrina levels.

And maybe that's why I just cribbed three Drudge links in a row.

Hey-- if he goes down, I stand willing and able to churn out dumb headlines about six-legged frogs.

Eh. I dunno. I always figured one Sean Penn was about thirty-seven too many.

Well, Sean Penn is no Mark Ruffalo, I mean Peter Sarsgaard, I mean Paul Rudd.

The first rule of taking your entourage onto a duck boat is, DON'T TALK ABOUT THE HORRIBLE RED CUP.

might be Pacino, after a crack fueled weight loss program. And not shaving for like, a month.

How come he is wearing a flak jacket? does he think he is a target?

Anita:

He's Sean Penn.

He needs a flak jacket just to go out clubbing.

That's ex-Mr Madonna to you

How to tell them apart: Edward Norton is hot enough for Ace to be having dirty dreams about him. Sean Penn is not.

Neither Penn or Norton can pass a Turing test IMO...

...THUS - they are both possessed "pod people".

Where's Carter's killer rabbit when we need it most?

Oil prices are falling? Is that why I paid $3.06 at the pump?

It's going to take a long time to drain New Orleans by using just that plastic cup.

Ummm-Sean Penn-uhhh-Louisiana. Dean Man Sinking

Ed Norton is one of the finest character actors of our generation. Sean Penn . . . not so much.

There is nothing wrong with moustaches. They are not sleazy and they are not gay.

You girly-men are just jealous because you can't grow one!!

Posted by: j. blair on September 6, 2005 11:32 AM

Why would anyone get the idea that moustaches are gay?

I don't get it.

Posted by: Slublog on September 6, 2005 11:44 AM

it's not the moustache, it's that thumb-sized bald spot in the middle of his upper lip. Looks stupid.

if I couldn't grow one that looked any better than that, I wouldn't bother.

(one of the reasons I don't grow a beard)

Dude....I had to pour my beer out of that red cup to bail out my boat.

Why am I here again?

Posted by: spicoli on September 6, 2005 12:04 PM

Funny Penn didn't provide a flak jacket for the other guy in the boat.

And sean penn and company tries to escape from GILLIGANS ISLAND

Posted by: wandering whimbrel on September 6, 2005 03:55 PM

Penn makes

Gilligan = Nimitz

Posted by: Tony on September 6, 2005 05:48 PM

Oh my god........could Sean still be wearing Madonna's leg warmers?

What an ass this guy is. Real people want real help Sean, not half a man on a row boat with a Dixie Cup.

Christ, no wonder she dumped you!

That's not Sean Penn, that's Brad Pitt's new look...

My favorite part of the whole SeanCharade was when one of the bystanders asked, "How are you going to get any people in that thing?" Let's see...who would be the first to go? Hmmm..

That's not Sean Penn, that's Brad Pitt's new look...

Chubby retard is a "new look?"

Posted by: Slublog on September 6, 2005 10:22 PM

Is that an apron he's wearing? And why is that guy behind him smiling?
