Vicki and all,

Please keep all political reference off this list!
This is one of the only places I can safely escape that despair!

So pleeeze let's not get into thinly disguised political pissing matches
with the film titles, assorted reference web sites and comments.

How many times has the thread about "It's all been done before
and that there really is no new pot, shape, glaze etc."
The truth is that it is all new.... new because it was
a different person made, wrote, painted, etc. it!
Even copies are different if one is able
to discern the subtle differences. Forgeries can
be detected by tangible & intangible means.

I've been depressed since I heard a Thomas Kinkaide
room freshener commercial....... a counterfeit soulless "artist" selling
his work in the form of air fresheners that likely contributes to the
allergy & asthma
epidemic to the masses.
Ok I'll shut up now!

As to whether Michael Moore tastefully and appropriately 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:

"He stole my title and changed the numbers without ever asking me for
permission."

I don't see this as any different than when Mel has 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?

Here's more on the article for those interested.

Bradbury's title in his powerful film.
