FUCK. GOD DAMN. Salinger wouldn't let it be adapted for a reason, and until recently, I wondered why. I'm sure some could do a good adaption of the book, especially with the "heavy first person narration" book-into-movie adaptions which've been going around (Fight Club, American Psycho, High Fidelity), BUT THIS makes everything Salinger feared understandable.
TALKING COCKROACHES AND RODENTS!? FUCK YOU, Disney. SWEET CHRIST, Disney just FUCKS EVERYTHING UP, don't they!? This makes me sick, physically fucking ill. God damn.
God fucking dammit. Now I'm pissed.
