“Michael Moore is a Stupid Son of a Bitch” Filed under: Film Books- Paul O'Mahony (Stockholm, Sweden)@ 3:26 pm Freelance journalist Mårten Blomkvist has done us all a service [Dagens Nyheter, June 2] by phoning Ray Bradbury, author of the classic dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451, to find out what he has to say about Michael Moore toying with his title. Moore recently walked away from Cannes with the Palme d’Or for his anti-Bush filmFahrenheit 9/11. Is Bradbury, now 84, flattered by the reference? Well, not quite: “Michael Moore is a stupid son of a bitch. He stole my title and changed the numbers and never asked for my permission.” Bradbury explains that he tried to get in contact with the director. Moore was “busy” and promised to get back to him that same afternoon…but he never did. “He is a dreadful man. A dreadful man.” Bradbury sees Moore’s appropriation of Fahrenheit as a simple case of theft: “I could write a novel tomorrow called Gone with the Wind, couldn’t I? But I’m not going to do it because that would be dishonest. Let’s just say that Michael Moore is dishonest and that I want to have nothing to do with him. That pretty well does it.”
