Hilarious article from the Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) himself. Here's what he had to say about Joel Siegel (Good Morning America film critic) after Siegel exited his movie after 40 minutes. So last night, at a press screening of ?Clerks II? in New York City, ?Good Morning America? movie critic Joel Siegel decided he?d had enough of my shenanigans, and walked out of the flick at the forty minute mark. You?d imagine this would bother me, and yet, I?m as delighted by this news as I was with the eight minute standing ovation ?Clerks II? received in Cannes. I mean, it?s Joel Siegel, for Christ?s sake. As Paul Thomas Anderson once said of the man, getting a bad review from Siegel is like a badge of honor. This is the guy who stole his mustachioed critic shtick from Gene Shalit years ago, and still refuses to give it back. This is a guy who seemingly prides himself on being ?punny? - that is, he likes to add his own nyuk-nyuk wordplay into the reviews he writes/gives. For ?Pirates 2″, he made us all titter with ?Yo, Ho, Ho and a Bottle of Fun?. For Pixar?s lastest, he made us squeal with delight when he wrote ?Wheelie Good Time for ?Cars??. Can you believe he somehow not only made us laugh, but also think, when he challenged our perception with ?X-Men? Fails to X-cite?? I mean, Fozzy f***ing Bear laughs at this guy (AT, mind you, not WITH). So while I feel like my life will be a little bleaker now that I?ll never know what pun Joel would?ve dug deeply into his comedic well to produce for ?Clerks II? (??Clerks II?? More like ?Jerks, Too?!?), I?ve gotta admit that I?m relieved somebody was finally offended by the flick - enough to head for the exit less than an hour in. I was beginning to think I was losing my touch. I can?t fault Mr. Siegel for feeling ?revolted? (his producer?s description of Joel?s reaction) by our flick; in truth, there is a donkey show in it, and I recognize that brand of whimsy might not be for everybody. Film appreciation is very subjective, and maybe Joel just isn?t into ass-to-mouth conversations. However, I CAN fault him for the manner in which he left the screening. Apparently, rather than quietly exit, both Joel and his Cum-Catcher (my slang for the fancy kind of mustache he sports) made a big stink about walking out, calling as much attention to himself as possible, and being generally pretty disruptive. Check this sh*t out: roughly forty minutes into the flick, when Randal orders up the third act donkey show, Siegel bellowed to his fellow critics ?Time to go!'? and ?This is the first movie I?ve walked out of in 30 f***ing years!'? Now, I don?t need Joel Siegel to suck my dick the way he apparently sucks M. Night?s, gushing over his flick before he?s even seen it; but sh*t, man - how about a little common f***ing courtesy? Never mind the fact that when you?re paid to watch movies for a living and the only tasks required of you are to a) sit through said movies and b) write your thoughts about them before your deadline, walking out before a movie?s over is pretty unprofessional. Never mind the fact that the scene he was offended by (the ordering of the donkey show), with its (misleading) crude references is only the set-up to a third act pay-off that is a true bait-and-switch from where Joel?s imagination went (and if you?ve already seen the flick, you KNOW what I?m talking about). Never mind that this dude is so straight-laced in his tastes and hyperbolic in his praise that when The Onion took a poke at Joel, I was almost unsure whether it was a joke or not? You never? NEVER disrupt a movie, simply because you don?t like it. Cardinal rule of movie-going: shut your f***ing mouth while the movie?s playing. They even ask you to do so in the pre-show run-up to every flick (?Cell phones and pagers off, no talking during the show?). This guy went beyond talking, even; he was making a spectacle of himself as he left. I?ve now spoken to three folks in attendance last night, and all have said that Siegel WANTED everyone to know how disgusted he was, and that he was leaving. If you want to share your displeasure with everyone, that?s fine, dude; just do it AFTER the movie, not during. Some folks were enjoying themselves. I don?t come down to your job and slap the taste out of your mouth for coming up with a line like ??Shark Tale? Is a Halibut Good Time?; so don?t f*** with my stuff WHILE IT?S STILL SCREENING. sh*t, Joel, I know you like being on camera and all, but was it so difficult to not be the center of attention for 40 minutes that you just had to sparkle, Neely, sparkle-it up for your peers instead of showing them a little goddamn courtesy by leaving the theater the way most people do, either during or after the picture: quietly? What are you, a twelve year old boy, cutting loose with your pals at a Friday night screening of ?Scary Movie 4″ while your parents are in a theater down the hall watching ?The Devil Wears Prada?? Leave the diva-like behavior and drama-queen antics to the movie stars, not the movie reviewer, ya? rude-ass prick. It makes me laugh to think that, had Joel stayed ?til the end (like any good critic would for any movie they?re paid to watch), he would?ve seen that we weren?t going where he seemed to think we were going. But apparently, Joel took a cue from his own ?Poseiden? review, in which he wrote ?Audiences today wouldn?t stand for an hour of exposition before the flood hit. In fact, they wouldn?t stand; they?d walk out.? Well, Magnum (y?know - because of the mustache), I guess you?re a member of that same audience that can?t stand exposition. Look, I don?t hate the guy. sh*t, I?m glad he survived his fairly recent bout with cancer. But his behavior in that screening was unconscionable and professionally unethical, not to mention childishly disruptive. And while I might get laughed at for saying this? well, I just expected more from Joel Siegel. *sigh*

This is by far my favorite new show on tv. I just saw it for the first time last Thursday and promptly downloaded season one and the first five episodes of season two. Golden. I agree that the underage drinking episode is the best one so far. This is classic Tammy... Welcome to the boards! I like how they are calling this show "Seinfeld on Crack". It is so fitting :notworthy

Game Info: Washington Nationals @ Florida Marlins Starting Pitchers: vs Ramon Ortiz vs Anibal Sanchez 6-8 4.95 ERA 2-0 4.50 ERA TV: FSN Sports Radio: WQAM Scheduled Start Time: 1:05 PM ET

The early reviews are in and it's great news... 100% at RT.

The underage drinking episode was my favorite episode I've seen thus far, even if it was a repeat. I was wondering why Devito wasn't in the episode. :lol I agree, that one has been the funniest thus far.

I think it's only a matter of time, Howard will become the "it" actress in Hollywood.

Why would you abbreviate such a known phrase?

Never even heard anyone say Dee Dee Dee But I'll go with #2 on this list Quoting Napolean Dynamite is also incredibly annoying. Okay I was searching a video for you on YouTube (I can't believe you've never heard it before) and now I'm scarred from using YouTube anymore. I got one of those popup things with the scary-looking green person screaming through my speakers. It still feels like I'm bleeding through my ears.

a Miss USA named Dustin?? haha ... so when does this season start? I can't wait. http://www.misscalifornia.org/misscalifornia2005.htm She looks like Alison...

I'm sure you've heard these three at one point in your life. I honestly didn't mind choices #2 and #3 when they were the "it" thing to say. But choice #1 just bugs the hell out of me. Heck, Carlos Mencia bugs the hell out of me (part of the reason why I don't want Comedy Central anymore). This damn "dee-dee-deee" gives me headache every time I hear a person say it. I've even heard girls saying it too which is like the most unattractive thing ever. I hope I'm not the only one.

It actually makes sense though. Everytime he has a good game we could call it Hermiday.

The Marlins are in the Win Column!

AND HE HITS IT DEEP, HE HITS ITS FAR, AND IT IS GONE!!

I had such a crush on her in Wonder Years. Her face is sort of exotic looking. ditto

If this isn't the beginning of Armageddon I don't know what is. The writer could have written it a lot better.

a Miss USA named Dustin?? haha ... so when does this season start? I can't wait. It's actually going to be released today during the TCA Press Tour. My guess would be second week of September.

PASADENA, Calif. -- The 10th edition of "The Amazing Race" will kick off with one of the most diverse groups of teams the show has ever had. The Emmy-winning series, which moves to Sundays in the fall, will feature 12 teams this time, up from the usual complement of 11. Racers include the show's first-ever Muslim team -- a pair of Browns-loving best friends from Cleveland -- along with an Indian-American couple, an amputee (Sarah Reinertsen) who competes in triathlons and a father and his lesbian daughter. And, yes, there are a couple of models, as well as a pair of Miss USA contestants. "The range in this cast is remarkable," host Phil Keoghan told reporters Saturday at the Television Critics Association press tour. "We've never had such a broad spectrum of people." The 12 teams will be put to the test right away, executive producers Bertram Van Munster and Jonathan Littman say. Instead of "easing in" to the competition by sending the teams to Europe or South America first, the teams will first head to China after starting in Seattle. The racers will also travel to Mongolia, Kuwait, Vietnam and Madagascar. In all, the race will cover some 40,000 miles in 30 days. Here's who's competing: Names: Vipul and Arti Patel Ages: 29, 26 Occupations: Sales, nutritional educator Hometown: Windermere, Fla. Relationship: Married Names: Lyn Turk and Karlyn Harris Ages: both 32 Occupations: Teacher, program analyst Hometown: Birmingham, Ala., Helena, Ala. Relationship: Best friends Names: David and Mary Conley Ages: 32, 31 Occupations: Coal miner, homemaker Hometown: Stone, Ky. Relationship: Married parents Names: Bilal Abdul-Mani and Sa'eed Rudolph Ages: 37, 39 Occupations: Medical supply technician, power lineman Hometown: Cleveland Relationship: Best friends Names: Peter Harsch and Sarah Reinertsen Ages: 35, 31 Occupations: Clinical prosthetitist, motivational speaker Hometown: Laguna Beach, Calif., Trabuco Canyon, Calif.

Relationship: Father and daughter This group is lacking the oldies. Why?!?! It's part of the unwritten rules of reality shows. Besides that, it looks to be another exciting season. 12 teams this time too.

Might as well just create a music subforum and kill the media part all together. That's not a very bold statement, Juanky. TV Shows and Movies subforums are mainly for running threads that can be discussed over long periods of time (if you look at the TV Show forum it's been pretty successful especially since we're in the middle of Summer Hiatus). I doubt you can do the same with Music (well at least not on these boards). Not only that but Media Guide is used for a wide variety of entertainment news.

I need some information on Greek Alumnis :plain

Isn't S already taken? Sp sounds like the most logical.

That is a huge cast. Some folks are calling it the next Saving Private Ryan. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I own a couple of these but I'm not sad at all. It was a pretty useless idea. Info here.

Did anyone see the last two episodes? Probably the funniest of the series thus far. They are at their best when they do parodies. Million Dollar Baby and Fight Club :lol

Begins on July 27th on Sci-Fi (created by Stan Lee). Check out the Superheroes. http://www.scifi.com/superhero/heroes/ Feedback probably sounds like the best one. LOL at Cellphone Girl and Fat Momma.

We recommend that you grade your movie in whatever scale you wish to use. Ex. Batman Begins - 10/10 - [Description] Spoilers are no longer allowed in this thread.
