According to IMDB, there is no such movie.
Mr. Hamilton (chamil78) has a record for "clever" stunts like this. His
introduction to the list was by pretending to be J.D. Salinger. The
cookie-cutter stunt is twofold. For the people who believe him, he gets to
say, "You're so stupid." For the poeople who refute him, he gets to say,
"Monkeys always look."
In other words, he is the funniest, smartest, coolest person in the world,
and the "trick" was so "funny" the first time that it must be repeated
every few months, lest we forget what a "cool guy" he is. Don't worry,
though. Tricks like this are a common and expected step in the maturation
of every list.
And I think we've discussed who would play Holden. Is it in the FAQ? But
don't let that stop anyone from giving the dead horse a few good whacks.
Seriously.
