For some reason, the sound is very low, so you have to turn it way up.

If this has already been posted, my bad.

I think it was within Siegel's right to walk out on a film if he didn't approve of the material.

 

[Indiglo]

And yell obscenities

Did he have the right to yell and cause a big scene while the other critics were watching it? He gets paid to watch ****ing movies. He said that he didn't walk out of Bachelor Party which delt with the stuff that offended him.

[IAmHe9]

I think it was wrong for Siegel to walk out the way he did, but once he started apologizing incessantly, the argument should've ended there.

 

[Mentok]

Heh, OWNED

'You do realise you have been talking with Kevin Smith?

What? Where is he?'

ROFL.

 

[Kaleb]

[Joe Kerr]

[Erzengel]

That was from Opie and Anthony yesterday.

 

[RogueLDN]

Cant use sound at work, is their an article on it anywhere?

 

[Movies205]

Pretty cool of the guy to stand there and take a verbal beating for 10 minutes I must say.

 

[Erzengel]

Joel Siegel liked Bewitched!?

 

[Lurk]

How did he take a verbal beating? Smith's comments were spot-on correct; Siegel couldn't defend any of it and refused to address the real point of the interview, ultimately forcing Smith to keep repeating himself.

 

[FlameHead]

Man, this is awesome! What a jerky jerk boy.

I agree...to be honest, Joel Siegel was really cool in that interview for listening to everything that Smith had to say without getting all high and mighty and lashing out. Siegel said that his emotions got the best of him and the next time he should just walk out quietly, but Smith kept on badgering him and badgering him. I don't care for Siegel's thoughts on film all that much and he was dead wrong in this case, but, come on, did Smith really need to keep going and going and going on and on with him in that interview like he was a spurned lover trying to prove a point during a fight with his partner. BTW, I am not defending Siegel, but his actions are straight out of a character from a Kevin Smith movie where someone needs to announce to everyone around him what they think - I find it funny that Siegel acted just like "Randal" would act and Smith gets upset. Life imitated art and Smith didn't like it - poor baby.

 

[Topdawg]

Siegel got OWNED LoL.

I think Smith smelled an opportunity to not only ream out a critic (which most directors despise, anyway) but to stir up a little controversy over his film, which might pull some people in to see it who might not otherwise.

It was cool of Siegal to do that but, the thing is, he didn't even know it was Kevin that we was talking with until about 5 minutes into the coversation. I'm not sure he would have went on there if he know he'd go head to head w/ the man.
