"Irony lost on Ray Bradbury" on 06/18/2004
No disrespect to the man's great legacy of written work, but throwing a public tantrum over the title of Michael Moore's FAHRENHEIT 9/11 is not merely silly, it's somewhat hypocritical. Yes, it's a title inspired by FAHRENHEIT 451. As a title, it is also clearly a parody. Parody is protected speech -- Bruce Willis didn't get all huffy about that Leslie Nielsen movie SPY HARD. Remind me again what the story of FAHRENEHIT 451 was about? Oh yeah, the evils of censorship. |
