"dying doesn't make that right"

Kevin Smith once again tells it like it is, and not in a heartless or callus way.

I may be bias because I love his movies, but there is one thing you can say about KS, he is a really good person.!

clerks 2 is the funniest movie i have ever seen, compared to all of these new bullshit movies

@funkiersnoog WADR when deciding whether a movie's worth seeing, the first site I look it up on is Rotten Tomatoes. If it's under 60% then I know to ignore the marketing hype, if it's over 90% then I know I won't be disappointed.

Any one critic doesn't make much of a difference, but get a consensus and you've got a pretty big influence.

Well atleast he made up for his mistake. I do think that he handled his apology in a very professional manner.

I love Clerks and I thought that Clerks II was great but the donkey sex part was too far. I don't blame the old man for walking out, that was kind of the turning point of the movie. It could of been as good as Clerks if he had put in a less shock and more funny ending. I'm kind of on the fence here. I hated the donkey sex so I understand where Joel's coming from but I'm also a huge fan of Kevin Smith.

@funkiersnoog

Disagree. Siskel and Ebert gave plenty of good reviews to popular films including Shawshank, Lion King, Pulp Fiction, Terminator 2, Star Wars Episodes IV V and VI, Forest Gump and Titanic.

@GarebearShields like many people .

[funkiersnoog]

Let's be honest, when was the last time ANYONE either did or did not see a movie based on the opinion of a "professional film critic" ? They hate a ton of good movies, and happily promote boring ones. I'm amazed they actually get paid for what they do.

Joel Siegel was the perfect example of a critic who think's his opinion on film actually held water. I'm happy that the guy got cancer or anything, cuz that sucks for anyone, but he was clearly a douche bag.

If you wanna hear this actual interview type in opie anthony kevin smith joel siegel and you can listen to it. pretty funny and great radio as usual, O and A are the shit and this DJ is cool for letting someone talk about them on his show. not all DJs will do that, it takes confidence in yourself.
