20. Fuck Bradbury!
I love his books but he's always seemed like a cranky old shit whenever I've seen him on TV in person. Writers borrow from each other all of the time in terms of titles and in the names of characters and so forth. Bradbury just needs to get the bug out of his ass. If anything, he should be flattered that his book has made such a powerful impact that it is now being paid homage to.

And one more thing, for Bradbury to write a novel about censorship and then not mention anything at all about the politics behind Moore's new movie kind of indicates to me that he cares more about his own ego than the actual issues behind what he wrote his book about. That makes me have a lot less respect for him as a writer.
