Title: RIP Ray Bradbury, 91
Post by: RGMike on June 06, 2012, 08:19:40 AM

The sci-fi great, author of "Fahrenheit 451", "Illustrated Man" and many others.

Whenever I see someone walking around talking into his bluetooth, I think of the final scenes of the movie of "Fahrenheit", with people walking around reciting their books.

RIP Mr Bradbury.  One of the greats.  I think I'll download "F 451" and "Illustrated Man".  Which makes me wonder:  at what temperature does a Kindle catch fire and burn?

Maybe we'll find out in the remake. Frank (Shawshank Redemption/Green Mile) Darabont has been trying to get a new version off the ground for a while.
