Ugh! A movie made of The Catcher in the Rye? I don't even want to think 
about it. In the past few years I've quite come to dislike the majority 
of motion pictures coming out and the thought of Catcher being made into 
a movie just makes me cringe. Every movie adaptation I've ever seen is 
just awful (I haven't seen A Clockwork Orange)and if a big time studio 
gets its hands on the rights to the book (which it won't if Salinger has 
anything to say about it) we'll get some extremely sappy flick with 
someone like Leonardo DiCaprio ( I agree with Jente here) playing 
Holden, a whole bunch of flashbacks and a completely different ending. 
God forbid!
