Bradbury and Moore

In the news this morning, I read that Ray Bradbury is angry with Moore for titling his new film Fahrenheit 9/11 because it so closely resembles Bradbury’s book Fahrenheit 451. Per the article, Bradbury contacted Moore’s company over six months ago about this matter, specifically requesting that Moore change the title of the film, utilized, per Bradbury, without permission, and apologize.  Ray wants to settle this like two gentlemen.

"Bradbury, who is a registered political independent, said he would rather avoid litigation and is “hoping to settle this as two gentlemen, if he’ll shake hands with me and give me back my book and title."

I’m afraid, Mr. Bradbury, that Michael Moore is no gentleman, and you will not be able to avoid litigation.
