The message about the Catcher movie had me intrigued for a minute. Then I
glanced up to see who had sent it and saw it was that CHamil guy and I =
just had
to smile. A couple months ago, he was trying to convince all of us that he =
was
JD Salinger. In other words, he's full of shit. There's no Catcher movie =
in the
works. :)

Welp, there was a little but of truth to the Catcher movie post. A few =
months
ago, in a magazine interview, Jonathan Taylor Thomas said that he likes =
the
book (Catcher) and he would love to star in and direct the movie someday. =
Of
course nothing ever came of it.. the kid was just talking.
If I had to pick someone to play Holden, and it had to be someone most =
people
have already heard of... hmmm... why not Leonardo Dicaprio? He's OK, and I
can't think of anyone else. Unlike most people on this list, I wouldn't =
mind a
Catcher in the Rye movie at all. It wouldn't ruin the book for me... =
nothing
could do that. At best, it would be pretty interesting to watch. At worst, =
it
would be pretty interesting to watch.
Ok, that's all I have for today. :)
