While I couldn’t call him a friend or an esteemed colleague, Joel Siegel is still a man who represents the world of film. Joel died this afternoon, after a ten year battle with cancer. We will remember Joel for his “punny” headlines and his animated reviews. He will be sorely missed by the film community, and his impact on the field of film criticism is immeasurable.
Joel Siegel may have been on the short end of jokes lately, due to several incidents, including his argument with Kevin Smith. However, Joel is still a man who has left his mark on the world. He has been the face of entertainment for ABC news for over 20 years and has been a consistent force that has driven fans to the theater.
All of us here at FSR send our condolences to Mr. Siegel’s family. He will be missed.
Joel Siegel
(July 7, 1943 – June 29, 2007)
