catcher in the rye? that's kinda igby goes down, pretty much. which i liked a lot when i saw it. maybe on account of my film crush on sookie sapperstein. but yeah. igby was very much a holden cuntifield, in his way, updated for the 2000s. it's definitely an adaptation.
re: darjeeling- that was for me the weakest of them all. very forgettable. was tilda swinton in it? i can't remember what it was about except they're looking for their mom and she's a tibetan nun or something.
re: MOONRISE KINGDOM -- i fucking liked it! it really did capture some dreamlike qualities of prepubescent life -- right before raging hormones set in. it was like a storybook "come to life." as they say (who is they?). but yeah. they say storybook. they say come to life. it was sweet and innocent and i liked it in those terms. i don't need cynical ultraviolent irony everywhere.
