(for lack of a better example, Oliver Stone) Top on my list

Just my two cents, oliver stone would probably be the best director to
convert a salinger to movie, although I would never want to see a
salinger on the big screen. I'm sure most of you are all familiar with
what happened the last time salinger allowed a story to be converted to
the big screen. The problem was that you didn't get a stone tye director
to do it. DeLillo calls Stone's work "a disnyland for paranoids". What
better way to describe a salinger film. The layering that would be
needed could not be captured by a cameron or speilberg. You need the
craziest of the crazies to try and understand the master.
