Siegel Won't Get Kevin Smith Down Over Clerks II

E!Online quoted director and creator Kevin Smith on his thoughts about Siegel's walkout; "As Paul Thomas Anderson once said of the man, getting a bad review from Siegel is like a badge of honor." And, I couldn't agree more. Smith's films are notorious for their excessively lewd and utterly merciless humor, and it's this simultaneously offensive and realistic dialogue and outrageous situations that make the "Clerks" and other Smith movies so provocative, inciting some very vocal inflammatory response. If Smith isn't getting this kind of rise out of some of the population, then he's not doing his job.

These films are enjoyed and beloved by their fans because they are daring and don't hold back. Also, Smith's movies are very specific as to their audience, the target age range being approximately 20-40. Outside of that generation, it may be quite difficult to see the immense relevance of a film with a lot of shocking material molded into outlandishly hysterical comedy. My best advice is this; don't go in expecting anything or anyone to be safe. Some love that about the original "Clerks." and some feel it's overrated for that very same reason. Such is the controversial and double-edged genius of Kevin Smith. You will be able to read our review tomorrow in the meantime you can Watch the new Clerks 2 Movie Trailer !
