http://silentbobspeaks.com/?m=20060718Apparently Joel Siegel didn't like Clerks II enough that he walked-out on the flick. Not only did he walk-out but he caused a scene, yelling something like "this is the first movie I've walked out on in 30 years!" Kevin Smith has some kind words of advice for Mr. Siegel.

The .mp3 on Smith's site with him calling out Siegel is priceless. The best is where he starts denying some of his stupid puns that Smith quotes in the article that you can still see on ABC's site. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/JoelSiegel/ |

While I'm no fan of Joel Siegel or any other movie critic (aside from Gary Cogill ), I'm glad to know that I'm not the only person in the world who thinks Kevin Smith sucks. |

Do not try to see the point in useless news, for that's impossible. Instead, try to realise the truth.

I like Kevin Smith, but my favorite film of his is his least unfunny one (Chasing Amy).

Chasing Amy is his least unfunny one? Are we talking about the same movie?

It's his most "serious" movie, but it's still pretty damn funny. I'm torn between that one, Dogma or Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back as my favorite.

What Haemish said. Unfunny relative to everything else he's made. Not that it's not funny. |

I just watched Chasing Amy for the first time last night. I did not expect it to be so… odd. I’m not sure if I really liked it, but it definitely made me think and sparked some interesting conversations afterward. It’s one of those movies I’m really going to like after dwelling on it over a couple days, or not.
Joey Lauren Adams sure looked good in it though.

Yes. Joey Lauren Adams needs to replace Renee Zelwegger asap. She's the hotter, squeakier blonde.

It's funny when it tries to be funny. It doesn't fail at funny. It's just as good at "funny" as any of his other flicks. It's just that "funny" is not it's main point. Good enough?  |

Here it is in action again: Sam, I see what you're doing. My bad. Grammatical mistake. "Least unfunny" is totally wrong. What I really meant was "least funny" or "most unfunny". Either/or. Point is: Amy is a serious take on romance/infatutation -- with comedic elements. It's Kevin Smith trying to do something more than just making people laugh. Clerks or Jay and Silent Bob? That's Cheech and Chong for Geeks. Dogma is religious satire. They're comedies through and through. |

I was just trying to say I thought Jersey Girl was his most serious movie - not Chasing Amy by any stretch.

I found Smith's movies to be much funnier (and thought they were much more intelligent) when I was a teenager. Apparently I grew up but Smith never did. Or something. He's got the money though, so I'm pretty sure he wins. |

Yep. that's where we heard all about Ben Afflek's ballsack maneuver (he used to come up behind Kevin Smith was in the director's chair, and put his ballsack out and put it on Kevin's shoulder), and Jason Mewes heroin addiction.

I have whiled away many an hour at work reading his blog. The 8 part post about Mewes's addiction is really interesting reading. If I had to rank his movies, I would probably go- 1) Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back 2) Mallrats 3) Dogma 4) Clerks 5) Chasing Amy 9999999) Jersey Girl All of the first 5 are 'must watch' movies- if I catch any of them on a pay cable channel (so they are uncut), I am obligated to sit and watch the rest of the movie. |

Smith is great, and I don't really understand the hate. I liked Jersery Girl, but really wished it would have been a movie more about grandpa and the daughter. Course, Liv Tyler walks on screen and my brain kinda shuts down in a good place.
Dogma
Mallrats
Clerks
Chasing Amy
Jersey Girl
J&SBSB is my least favorite, though still good.

on the op: i thought it was funny that siegel didn't realize he was talking to kevin smith for about 10 minutes
I saw jay and silent bob strike back and dogma first, and i heard from everyone else that the other movies were much better, so i got them all on netflix one by one only to realize that i liked jay and silent bob and dogma better anyway... kinda ruined the other ones because i was expecting better movies :/

As a Christian, Dogma was brilliant. I'm one of the few Christians I know who will admit this, but they also think Bob Saget is funny.

I agree there. I think Dogma is hilarious. But then, I don't care much for "religion" for religion's sake. And Bob Saget *is* funny - on Entourage. |
