Whoa! Why J.D. Salinger HATED Raiders of the Lost Ark

Whoa! Why J.D. Salinger HATED <em>Raiders of the Lost Ark</em>

J.D., J.D.—what's with all the hate for Raiders of the Lost Ark? I don't mean to diss the recently dead, but when the writer of a book I love goes after a movie I love, well, come on, what are you doing to me? It hurts. Don't make me choose sides, because I can't!

Sure, I knew Salinger had strong opinions about films. After all, in The Catcher in the Rye, he had Holden Caulfield say, "You take somebody that cries their goddam eyes out over phoney stuff in the movies, and nine times out of ten they're mean bastards at heart."

But to go after Raiders? That's a low blow.
