I guess the italics, tone of voice and the complete idiocy of the suggestion just weren't clear enough signposts. I apologise for any subtleties missed on your part, but suggest you henceforth consider my argument un-undermined.

For starters, you have gotta be kidding if you think the dude from Twilight would make a good Holden. That statement undermines your whole argument. Anyway it would be Robert if they picked any actor from The Twilight saga. Secondly this book is ripe for Hollywood, they might actually make the story enjoyable. It's the coming of age tale to end all coming of age tales. Colour me excited.

Hopefully they use those other works as the commenter above says, because it would be great if everyone could finally shut up about this overrated tripe.
