Ray Pride clued me into this with this story on Movie City Indie

View the letter in a big enough size to read

Man, that NY Times story is really quite disgusting. It's ALL guessing and innuendo. I especially like the line about Arriaga not writing as complex a screenplay for THE THREE BURIALS OF MELQUIADES ESTRADA because he didn't want to "overtax the abilities of Tommy Lee Jones." Ohhh Mr. Terrence Rafferty...you know so much....please, tell us more. Is there life after death? I mean, where the fuck does this clown get off even thinking that? Whatta moron.

Oh! Right after I wrote that, I found this gem that fits in the same holier-than-thou category:
"There are sequences in “Babel” where you can sense the tenuous symbiosis of writer and director starting to fall apart — when Mr. González Iñárritu overextends scenes for, apparently, no sounder reason than to demonstrate his virtuosity, prove he’s in charge."

Wow.
