The question is, does that say anything about Siegel's effectiveness as a critic? If an obit writer decided not to write about the "Clerks II" blowup, what would have replaced it? At least Smith’s self-aware enough to post on his blog now about the blowup and that he feels like ass over it.

If you read Kevin Smith's blog entries—I read the series dedicated to Jason Mewes' heroin troubles—you'll see that, prose-wise, he's a truly inept writer. Solid on the dialogue, I suppose, but stick to that, S.B. P.S.

Ambushing a guy on live radio because he SPEAKS during your movie and storms out—a distraction lasting ten seconds—equals pantywaisted-ness to the nth. So you ambush him on live radio surrounded by your pals and whine like a little baby. All without revealing who you really are. What a puss, and as his website reveals, a SHILL. I never read Joel Siegel's reviews, unfortunately. I briefly saw a story about him on the news last night but didn't register its meaning. Sad deal. That Kevin Smith-Joel Siegel debacle was lame.
