He made the cable talk show circuit whining about it, but I don't believe he ever took legal action.

I think copyrights don't fully apply to the titles of books. Thusly, naming his movie F 9/11 was legal.

As for the title, it just sounds catchy.

It's not catchy..It sounds like an action movie. When in reality it's nothing but a retarded fatprettythang that hates America and our government spouting lies and twisting sound clips and interviews to appear to agree with his "points"

Coolridr, have you seen the film?

Coolridr · « **Reply #12 on:** August 31, 2004, 10:17:07 AM »

Yes I have...It is an elaborate piece of fiction. Too bad the American public is easily duped but crap like this.

The American public is easily duped by a lot of things.

451 is the temperature where paper burns, and the book refers to censorship and therefore to book burning.

The Moore movie title was chosen due to it's obvious relationship to the Bradbury title and was explained in the advertizing as "The temperature at which freedom burns" (that's at least close to a quote)
