Allen,
Just FYI, the main character in Bottlerocket who has the very Holden/Phoebe
dynamic with his sister's name was Anthony. I always found that interesting
as well, but never knew how discussing film would go over here. You may
already know this but Bottlerocket, Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums were
all co-written by Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson, and directed by Wes
Anderson. Rushmore has some Catcher-ish elements as well... The fact that
the main character Max is so involved with odd extra-curricular activities
(including fencing), and is obviously very intellegent, yet fails to perform
well in classes is interesting.
