Hollywood, CA, July 26th- After a 24 period which sources would only describe "tense", the dust has finally settled on the heavily anticipated all Spielberg bout between Raiders of the Lost Ark and E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. Moments after it's crushing loss, Mr. Spielberg was seen consoling a young boy by the name of Elliott, who is said to have deep ties with the alien life form. The drama, however, started soon thereafter when cameras caught Mr. Spielberg celebrating the victory with the titular character from Raiders, Dr. Henry Walton Jones.
Choosing to remain anonymous, a source tells ComingSoon! "It was a win win for Steven. He knew one way or the other, he was going to advance, so it didn't really matter to him, and therefore some here fill he didn't do a good enough job preparing the members of E.T. It's selfish, it really is."
The prevailing thought heading into yesterdays match, as evidenced from the quote above, was that Mr. Spielberg, rather than preparing both of his creations for the intense, emotional rigors of a tournament such as this, decided to rest on his laurels and spend more time by the hotel pool, where there was an all you can eat buffet.
The source continued "One minute he's seen consoling crying young children, the next he's popping Champagne with Karen Allen. Bad optics, if you ask me."
The future remains murky, at best for Mr. Spielberg who has come under an intense level of scrutiny the last 24 hours. Nonetheless, he will live to see another day with Raiders. While most in the know seem to be upset with Mr. Spielberg's actions, one source did have another opinion. "Either way you look at it, Steven was going to upset somebody. Someone was going to be offended no matter who won or lost here. Quit being a pussy and move on."
Raiders of the Lost Ark advances. Next battle up shortly.

For a second there I was genuinely thinking "What's 'Fenster in the Hof'?"

The Alfred Hitchcock movie with Jimmy Stewart and a blonde leading lady defeat..... the Alfred Hitchcock movie with Jimmy Stewart and a blonde leading lady.
This ends the 1950's region, and more importantly, the first round. Round Two to begin shortly.
