Has Any Film Director In History Managed A Steeper Downhill Slide Than Thomas McCarthy?

The Station Agent?  A hit!  The next one?  Sure, okay.  An ill-advised slab of shit with Paul Giamatti?  Oh, fuck, no, don't!  An Adam Sandler blockbuster earning $24,000 at the box office?  Holy shit!  Twenty-four thousand?  You begin with the excellent Station Agent and end up with the worst Adam Sandler movie ever??  How the fuck does that happen?  Jesus christ.  McCarthy should probably rethink his commitment to existence and consider becoming filmmaker in residence on a lesser Jovian moon.
