Watching Movies With Salinger
Great ‘Talk of the Town’ item from the New Yorker. Worth reading but here’s my quick take:
Guy calls his friend Matt who says, “Hey, stop by my place and watch a movie with my dad.” Yeah, whatever. Except that Matt’s dad is J.D. Salinger. So the author, John Seabrook, goes over with his girlfriend and they watch movies on a reel to reel projector with J.D. Salinger. Who, by the way, made popcorn.
It’s not exactly the 10th story, but it’s certainly good enough to be number 9 1/2. Hell, if it had happened to me, it would be number one.
And don’t forget — J.D. Salinger Was Captain America’s Dad.

J.D. Salinger Was Captain America’s Dad
J.D. Salinger’s other legacy is giving birth to Matt Salinger, who played Captain America in a crappy Captain America movie
That’s right. J.D. Salinger was Captain America’s dad.
Sort of.
If you’ve never seen the unreleased ‘Captain America’, it’s worth a peek. Especially since you can just watch it for free via Hulu, rather than searching for it at your local video store, which is what I did many years ago.
Actually, you can watch Matt Salinger as Captain America right here. Ain’t technology grand?
