You should learn to read better, what I said was "he had modest success post SNL with those movies and a long string of flops" and the "those movies" are referred to are Ghohsbusters, Caddyshack et al, the ones he did right after SNL. There is 10 year period of flops between "Ground Hog Day" and "Lost in Translation." I also stated that. Notice you didn't mention a single movie from that 10 year period? Exactly.

There was nothing smug about either of my replies. There is also nothing ignorant about replies and I'm well aware of his career arc. I'm not even sure what point is but it sounds like you might be upset because I called you out on your presumptuous comment. Grow up.

Yeah, it's not like he was critically acclaimed in Ed Wood in 94.

Or turned in an iconic - movie stealing - comic performance in Kingpin in 96

Or won a Golden Globe in 98 for Rushmore.

Clearly you're right and nothing major happened in his career for 10 years.

You literally know nothing about this topic and keep digging yourself into a hole. It's kind of pathetic.
