How did he jump to big time director so quickly?


Awhile back, he wrote Swingers and was a 2nd billed actor....but now he's being such franchise big budget movies like Cowboys and Aliens (not to mention both Ironman movies). Even the jump to Elf seemed like a pretty big jump...but from that to Ironman and Cowboys and Aliens... wow. It's not like he went to film school or came up the ranks (cinemetographer, dp, etc like other filmmakers)...

He just got lucky when he threw his hat into the ring for Iron Man.

Remember nobody thought the franchise would be successful and it was a time where some people in Hollywood still didn't want to touch Robert Downey Jr. with a 10 foot pole.

He's also a speech writer for The Dear Leader, Mao-Tse Barry Soetoro. He's a Libtard icon and pure gold in Hollywoodgrad. He can do anything he wants.

Hey pinhead, Obama's speechwriter is a different guy with the same name.
