Mustachioed movie critic Joel Siegel got his panties in a wad during a recent New York screening of Clerks II. During a particular scene that described a donkey show, Siegel could take no more and decided to leave the movie 40 minutes into the screening. Siegel got up during the movie and apparently said, "Time to go! First movie I've walked out of in 30 fucking years." The fact that he did not like the movie did not ruffle many feathers, but the unprofessional and juvenile way in which the Good Morning America reviewer responded really pissed off Kevin Smith, who responded in his blog.

Good Morning! This kitten has two faces. Cheap, plastic crap has finally taken the backseat. Exxon surpassed Wal-Mart in the rankings of the 500 largest companies on the planet. The 2008 Class President of Lehigh University in PA set a good example for his class after he robbed a bank to pay off some gambling debts. After being humbled by the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, our favorite Mr. T is losing all the bling...

Silver Lake's Irving first gained recognition back in 2002 with Good Morning Beautiful, a solid debut notable for its artfully crafted blend of psych-pop and electronic eclecticism. In the four years since then, they've made quite a name for themselves, having released a follow-up EP, I Hope You're Feeling Better Now, and earlier this month their second full-length, Death In The Garden, Blood On The Flowers. Do a quick google search and you'll find most critics and music bloggers mentioning that, A) they've also opened for the likes of The Arcade Fire, Franz Ferdinand, and the Polyphonic Spree, and B) all five members of the band (Aaron Burrows, Alex Church, Brent Turner, Brian Canning, Steven Scott) are songwriters, both being nifty bits of cocktail party information as well as telltale indications of the band's deft musicianship. SPIN's Alyssa Rashbaum describes Death In The Garden as "filled with lush harmonies, summery pop, and a keyboard that was mined for every possible sound it could make."
