Another reminder...
I just saw Ray Bradbury on Miller's show and Dennis asked the aged, very nice and down-to-earth author what happened with Michael Moore and the Fahrenheit title. (Remember, Fahrenheit 451 is a classic--it just celebrated its 50th year anniversary and it is the title probably most associated with Ray Bradbury's lifetime of work and achievement.) Mr. Bradbury said he saw the title for Moore's movie about six months ago in a newspaper and said to himself "What's going on?" So he called the paper and got a number for Moore's office. When he called, the people there were all friendly and said the Moore woud call him back later that day. He never called.
The movie came out. Two weeks ago Moore was at some Hollywood party and got Mr. Bradbury's number. He called to talk and the author asked him why he hadn't called earlier. Moore said he was sorry and he should have called and was there anything he could do.
Mr. Bradbury regretfully replied, "Yes. You can give me my title back."
