How sad. I loved reading and listning to his movie reviews, he was usually right on the money. It will be hard to find someone as good as he was.

Not many here, if any at all other than you and me, know who the hell Joe is or was and what he represents.

I give this news two thumbs down.

Here, allow me...:slap:

He was okay as a critic. Much better than Gene Shalit, but that's not saying much. "My" critic has always been Roger Ebert, but Siegel was good, too. He never came across as a film snob, which I'm sure is pretty tough for a guy who makes his living analyzing films.
