Hi Vicki, all...
I think Mr. Bradbury must have no friends...
To take him aside and direct his attention to how-it-is,
that his well known Book was titled "Farenheit 451", whilst,
Mr. Moore's film, almost certainly paying hommage TO Mr.
Bradbury's Book and thereby respecting it, is called,
"Farenheight 911"...which does not equate to
anything...being
'stolen'...(or even borrowed,) at all...
Love,
Phil

adapted Ray Bradbury's work or hijacked it, I will defer to
Ray Bradbury. Hijacked is one of Bradbury's own words and I
further quote his response to this incident:

asking me for permission."

referred to finding close approximations of his work on the
cover of magazines by other people taking credit. If we
support the taking of other peoples work, where will it end?
