Just started. Never seen it. Never read the book by Bradbury, although I knew of it. Very, very interesting and all too close to reality these days.

3. That's a movie I'd like to see remade *well*.
Don't change a word of the script, mind you, but update the production design and SPFX. That film is so visually dated, it needs a facelift.

I feel the same about "Race with the Devil"--I'd like to see that funked up, too.

4. 50th Anniv of book this year
Unabridged editions out now.

but I just lurv the movie!
The opening credits are sooooo gah-roovie.
Love the music.
Love the art direction, set decor - covet the furniture in Montag's house.


Remember that Michael Moore's next film is to be called Farenheit 911

So, what books shall we all memorise and ought this be a new thread on its own?
