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?

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)

Not to censorship, but to brainwashing. In "451" society books were dangerous because they prevented people from being fed by TV.
From what I sometimes see on this board - the title was a brilliant choice.
The film itself didn't impress me. I could predict almost every scene. Moore definetly learned a lot from Soviet documentary school. I mean - from a professional political propaganda school that used good artistic methods. But compared to "Ordinary fascism" (http://imdb.com/title/tt0059529/) it's a college student work.

Isn't bookburning a form of censorship? I always thought it was.

In case when every book has to be burned and the owner punished - IMHO it's not censorship but total ban, in favour of government-controlled TV -> brainwashing.
This novel was very popular in USSR, and considered an "anti-totalitarian" masterpiece by state propaganda.
I wonder why they banned "1984" in USSR. Orwell wrote a brilliant book about where Western society can drift. Provided with comments that corresponded with Party line it could be printed without any problems.
