Camille writes in Re: Linklater:

"No piece of art truly withstands the transition between mediums."

and:

"*Any* of us bananafishers would have to be lying if we said we wouldn't go
see it [a film of Catcher], even just for interest's sake."

 I ask:

1.  Why are these "transition[s] between mediums" being made?
2.  Why must they capture our imaginations and compel our
attendance/support?
3.  Why doesn't JDS (unlike innumerable contemporary authors) see the light
and sell the rights?

P.S.  I guess I am not a bananafisher.
