J.D. SALINGER HATES INDY, STILL ALIVE
FilmDrunk.com — ... excused for its unwitty, unfunny awful socko-ness if it had been put together by Harvard Lampoon seniors. Ouch – I just checked and yep, I’m pretty sure that’s a burn.  A history burn.  Reached for comment, Raiders director Steven Spielberg reportedly shot back, “Oh yeah? Well, let’s just say there’s a reason he didn’t call the book Pitcher in the Rye, if you catch my drift…” [via Empire] 

Bid on J.D. Salinger’s Review of ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’
SpoutBlog — ... Maynard (also via Wikipedia), an ex-lover who also wrote a memoir, Salinger “loves movies, not films.” Of course, that would mean that he should have loved Raiders and disliked Truffaut, right? Anyway, you can bid on the letter with the Last Metro and Raiders comments in an Ebay Live Auction tomorrow evening, or if you’re short the few thousand bucks, you can just look at the photo of it on the auction’s listing.

You Can Bid on JD Salinger's Letter, Reviewing 'Raders of the Lost Ark'
Cinematical — ... weren't so nice: "I got hooked into seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark, which might be excused for its unwitty, unfunny awful socko-ness if it had been put together by Harvard Lampoon seniors." How fitting that someone decided to auction this puppy off as Indy gets ready for his next adventure on the big screen. I guess Salinger won't be going to see this latest installment. Should you want a letter typed by the famous recluse, bidding will start at $1,250.00. [via Empire]Permalink | Email this | Comments ...
