I dunno.  I'm not dying to see a movie made from CITR, but I'm not totally
against it either.  People always act like this would be the worst tragedy in
the history of movies and literature, but I don't see it like that.  I think
it would be (at least) very interesting to see how it came out.  If it was
bad... and disloyal to the book, I would simply dismiss it and go on with my
life.  Actually now that I think about it... I would really LIKE to see a
movie made from Catcher...yeah!

Anyway, the only young actor that comes to mind to play Holden is Leonardo
DiCaprio... but... nah.  It'd have to be a new-comer.

WAIT!  I've got the perfect person:  ME!  I could play Holden Caulfield.
 Certainly I could.  I'm not kidding.
