These days it seems like Kevin Smith has more beefs than the Ponderosa Steakhouse. If he’s not raging at airlines he’s spouting off about the cruelty of film critics that didn’t take kindly to his most recent offering, the Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan comedy Cop Out.

Just last month, Smith took to his Twitter account to lambaste the critical lambasting Cop Out received, writing “A movie like Cop Out, while an easy target for critics, is clearly not intended to impress those prone to show off their cinema erudition. Critics can stab at Cop Out with their poison pens all they want, but it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s a funny flick.”

Now, Smith’s at it again, taking to Twitter to post a massive screed railing against those who make a living applying their subjective opinions to works of mass market entertainment, i.e. movie critics. “Writing a nasty review for Cop Out is akin to bullying a retarded kid,” he writes, “All you’ve done is make fun of something that wasn’t doing you any harm and wanted only to give some cats some fun laughs.”

Crass comments about the mentally disabled aside, Smith has now gone one step further, declaring he will no longer allow free screenings of his films for critics. “From now on, any flick I’m ever involved with, I conduct critics screenings thusly: you wanna see it early to review it? Fine: pay like you would if you saw it next week.”

Despite bad reviews, Cop Out has proven to be Smith’s biggest film, raking in over $40 million at the box office.
