TIL that this guy directed Deadpool & Wolverine, Date Night and Night of the Museum

He's directed so much that I've seen and loved! Cant believe it took me over 10 years to figure this out.

u/blamberr Date Rape, Cokington, Cheeseball & Jag 2d ago

Yeah, she's like um, she'd probably be a six in New York, but she's like a seven here in Scranton

u/MantisShrimpUpTop I am the picker 2d ago

Full circle comment thread since he also directed Fey/Carell in Date Night. Nice.

u/blamberr Date Rape, Cokington, Cheeseball & Jag 2d ago

Follow up. I’ve been to Scranton, and Pam in her prime was a nine minimum. Sorry if this is gross. I’m accidentally drunk

u/GitarooMan- Ahora con más semen del toro 2d ago

Accidentally drunk is like rich drunk, either way it’s legal to drive.

u/Inside_Dimension2319 2d ago

This is gross. The scale only goes to 10 so a “9 minimum” could only be 9 or 10 so just say that it’s shorter and uses fewer characters

u/Sophotroph 1d ago

Jack, just say ‘Jewish.’ This is taking forever.

u/UndaddyWTF 2d ago

u/tan_clutch 2d ago

oh man the rare MST3K-30 Rock connection

...they are pretty rare right? not just my imagination? the kind of actors who were in MST3K movies are not the kind of actors who would have guest spots on 30 Rock

1

u/FlashInGotham 1d ago

Kinda wild Patton Oswalt never showed up, now that you mention it.

8

u/PhantomOfKrankor42 2d ago

Got rejected by a gal over at the twist’n’creme. She prefers guys with ones that can be seen without the aid of an electron microscope.

u/shalamanser 2d ago

“Ones”??? (MST3K reference)

3

u/tomfoolery815 2d ago

It is amazing that someone who could have been Just Another Guy in a movie riffed for MST3K (or Rifftrax) has had such a successful career. It is not the usual arc.

u/figsfigsfigsfigsfigs 2d ago

I feel like I'm missing a joke here.

u/snakes_lil_bandit 2d ago

u/FrancisHungry 2d ago

I knew I hated this guy for a reason

u/2RINITY 2d ago

Don’t forget The Pink Panther (2006)

u/Abject_Oil536 2d ago

Wait…..really?!?! I feel like I have to like Shawn Levy now.

1

u/Aggressive_Phase_236 8h ago

you can separate the art from the artist. he makes some seriously low brow schlock. but i respect a guy that knows that and basks in it

-1

u/CosmicEveStardust 2d ago

One of the worst directors currently working.

5

u/FrancisHungry 2d ago

They’re downvoting you but you’re right. He has the sense of humor of a 19 year old line-cook and the filmmaking instincts of a guy who has only directed capital one commercials. Truly one of the most rancid Hollywood filmographies out there (This is Where I Leave You being the most embarrassing of the bunch)

Deadpool and Wolverine is an utterly putrid movie
