I think Holden Caulfield would have loved the movie `Dead Poets Society'
(which, when you think about it, has some slightly Catcheresque overtones -
Robin Williams would have to be a shoe-in for a Mr Antolini should, in a
moment of insanity, JD sign over the movie rights). I always cite the scene
about the J Evans Prichard method of rating a poem's overall greatness (by
plotting various attributes on a graph) to embody all the worst things
about literary criticism - as you say, those people who almost seem hell
bent on ruining all the fun.
