 Washington City Paper: Joel E. Siegel, 1940-2004
Siegel was not a flatterer, a bandwagon rider, a sucker for conventional wisdom.
Although Siegel was known—both affectionately and not—for his barbed sense of humor, his tastes were often softer than his hide.
Siegel's enthusiasm for such music led him to expand from criticism to promoting concert series, producing records, writing lyrics, and even managing reclusive local jazz legend Shirley Horn, a singer and pianist.

At least stop casting your wife (or whoever you happen to be dating at the time) as anything beyond Doorstop #1.
Siegel on M. Night or Smith on Siegel?
Considering Smith is as excited about the Siegel walk-out as he was for the 8-minute ovation at Cannes (well-deserved I might add, that donkey show really brought a tenderness that other donkey shows have lacked before)...sounds to me like that little bitch Smith has been gunning for Siegel and his bleep-catcher for some time now.

 Kevin Smith Rips Into Joel Siegel (by Jeremy Zawodny)
He holds back nothing in his on-line abuse of movie critic Joel Siegel, who loudly left the screening of Clerks II [IMDB] (the same move that got an eight minute standing ovation at Cannes) after 40 minutes.
If Joel Siegel wanted to write a negative review on Clerks 2, that's one thing, but to not give the movie his "time", and make a big scene about his distaste just proves further he was very unprofessional in his job duties.
Perhaps Joel Siegel was at last obeying his conscience, which told him to leave the theatre and forsake the rubbish that he felt obligated to watch---the stuff you all lay down and die for---vulgar filth touted as high art of some sort.

 The View Askewniverse - GMA's Siegel storms out of 'Clerks II' screening - Kevin replies
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.
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.

At times heart-wrenching, at times laugh-out-loud funny, Joel Siegel has crafted an indelible and enduring love letter to his son, and a literary gift to us all.
Joel Siegel graduated from UCLA and has worked as a radio newscaster, Los Angeles Times book reviewer, freelance writer for publications including Rolling Stone and Sports Illustrated, and joke writer for Sen. Robert Kennedy.

Siegel has to be the biggest Hollywood suck up in the world of film critics.
In my mind Siegel destroyed whatever credibility he had when Shyamalan commented that he was worried that critics would have bad things to say about The Village and Siegel replied with something like “ You don't have to worry about me, you know I'll love it”.
But Siegel is, as Suzie commented, so milquetoast, so bland, and so boring.

 The CHUD.COM Message Boards - Just got back from a Night with M. Night
07-20-2004 10:20 PM Calling Joel Siegel a critic gives a bad name to all the critics around the world that are sufficient at their jobs.
The reason I say Joel Siegel gives critics a bad name is because he's regularly on Good Morning America and for a critic to be that poor (seriously, some of his questions and comments were mindnumblingly awful) and have that much of an audience is a bit of a travesty.
Joel Siegel was questioning Night about Unbreakable, so Night was talking about his approach to storytelling, how he believes there are many layers to a story, the first two layers being those that connect to your audience (i.e., giving the audience what it came to see, hitting all the notes you should).
