No, JD Salinger won't sell the rights to it but I am sure that his estate will sell it when he finally dies. And they will massacre it like they did all the Dr. Suess books. \n\nDr. Suess did not want Hollywood to make movies of his books, but then he died and his money hungry wife sold the rights to them.

Mine's the Notebook too! I can watch that movie over and over. I love that Ryan Gosling and Rachel Mcadams are dating in real life. That movie is amazing. Anybody who hasn't seen it  definitely should.

Maybe "Explorers", by Joe Dante (was a Paramount movie)\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089114/

Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen that one.  It starred Terrance Stamp (a very sexy young Brit at the time).  He was either a sailor in the British Navy (or a deckhand of some kind) during the 1700's. He gets into trouble of some kind while sailing the high seas. I don't remember a whole lot about it other than Terrance Stamp's curly blond hair and gorgeous eyes, and it had a very sad ending.\n\nNow I want to see it again!

No, but there is a novelisation of the film which is quite good.

From master storyteller John Grisham ("The Firm," "The Pelican Brief") comes RUNAWAY JURY, a  suspense-thriller about a  high-priced and ruthless jury "consultant" (Gene Hackman) who will stop at nothing to secure a verdict on an explosive trial. With lives and millions of dollars at stake, the fixer wages a deadly battle with a jury member (John Cusack), a mysterious woman (Rachel Weisz) and an honest lawyer (Dustin Hoffman).  The film marks the first pairing of screen legends Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman.\n\nWhen a young widow in New Orleans brings a civil suit against the powerful corporate consortium she holds responsible for her husband's murder, she sets in motion a multi-million dollar case.  But it's a suit that may be won even before it begins - based solely on the selection, manipulation and, ultimately, the attempted "theft" of the jury.\n\nRepresenting the widow is Wendall Rohr (Hoffman), a courtly Southern lawyer with a moral center and a heartfelt passion for the case he's presenting. His opponent is ostensibly the attorney representing the corporation. But in reality, defense counsel is only the front man for Rankin Fitch (Hackman), a brilliant and ruthless jury consultant.\n\nAt a high tech command center set up in an old French Quarter warehouse, Fitch and his team work on the surveillance and assessment of potential jurors.  He will know everything about their lives, and strategically manipulate the jury selection process.  The only acceptable result is the perfect jury to vote in favor of his client.\n\nFitch and Rohr soon realize they're not the only ones out to win the jury.  One of the jurors, Nick Easter (Cusack), seems to have his own plan for swaying the panel. And a mysterious woman known only as Marlee (Weisz) contacts both Rohr and Fitch telling them the jury's for sale to either of them - and that the verdict won't come cheap.\n\nWhile the case is argued in court, a dangerous cat and mouse game begins to play out in New Orleans' French Quarter. Rohr's morality put to the test, and Fitch is poised to cross the line from selecting a jury to stealing it - no matter who gets hurt in the process.

"Catch 22 has become a term, inspired by Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22, describing a general situation in which an individual has to accomplish two actions, both of which require that the other one be done first. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_22_%28logic%29\n\n[modified below with more details]\nI have both read the book (more than once) and seen the movie.  However, that may not have been a sufficient source for your answer.  If I were to simply say, "It comes from a book I read", then how would you know that I'm not making it up?\n\nSo, I'm happy to provide a valid reference for you to check to verify the answer I've provided.\n\nRegards,\nKevin

In high school I wrote a paper on how much I hated Holden. He really is a prick when you think about it.\n\nI'd suggest writing a dialogue between two of the members of Holden's fencing team.

I tried to do a quick search for you, but couldn't find out at which school it was filmed. I would suggest contacting the production company directly, or maybe one of the people who worked on the movie, a production assistant or a location scout. www.imdb.com has a full list of the cast and crew as well as the production and distribution companies involved with the film.

No, for the following reasons: (1) It is not pornographic (2) It is considered a classic of American literature (3) If there's one thing that American children need these days it is to read more and a book like The Catcher In The Rye is ideal to get teenagers reading.\n\nOnly a fascist society would ban a book like The Catcher In The Rye. Only a fascist society would want to suppress individuality to that extent. Has America become a fascist society?

sadly very little. While it would allow rorcharch's legacy to continue, the events of the qiant squid would not be in that journal.\nit may out nightowl but at this point the story is over and nothing new technologically or socilologically,would come from it.\n\nthe problem with the story has always been the ending which is realtively niaeve even then and would need to be changed for any reinterpretation (read movie , honest, honest, coming soon, alan moore loves what we've done with the characters and the production should be seemless well under our summer 2008 deadlin....why are you laughing at me?)\n\nbut the ending is quite definate, which is more than can be said for a lot of work these days.\n(please insert :kewl, rocks, and wouldnt it be great is ashton kutcher, yadd yadda yadda, and how much I fancied the chicks in it within the previous paragraphs)

yes, black and white 2005 film by Philippe Garrel. If you like it, try Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Dreamers .... it is set in the same heady student riots of 68... but a bit more erotic.
