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.
