Joel Siegel doesn't like Clerks 2.

Or at least he didn't like the first 40 minutes. He walked out saying, "This is the first movie I've walked out of in 30 fucking years!" Careful with the link here, details but maybe gets a bit spoilery. A safe quote, Kevin had this to say:

Cardinal rule of movie-going: shut your fucking 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 fuck with my stuff WHILE IT'S STILL SCREENING.
You can find an MP3 of Kevin and Joel talking things over on that page too. Again, kinda spoilery, maybe you listen later.
