NPR interview with Ray Bradbury

I heard an interview with Ray Bradbury this morning on NPR (can't seem to find the link for it on the NPR website at the moment), and Bradbury, I have to say, came off as something of a querulous old man. He called Michael Moore "not just a thief, but an impolite thief", distanced himself and his book as much as possible from the film, and said he hoped the film "sinks and is forgotten". He said that he had called MM's film company 6 months or so before the release when he found out about it, was told MM would call him back, and he never did. I personally think the title is great, and a fitting tribute to a chilling classic sci-fi dystopia story. Anyway, interesting interview.

    i think it's lame that that guy is being such a shit about the word Farenheit.. you know what? it's a word.. and the pop culture reference is there.. but the case can be made that it is about heat rising... and the temperature surround 9/11... so screw that brat..

      Yeah, It ticks me off when Parker Brothers raises a stink about the word Monopoly. It is a word that is in the language, longer than the company has been around. I think the copyright laws are screwed up.
