There are many really good points Ray makes in this interview, like on feeling vs. thinking, science vs. religion, and I value this segment more so than about anything I have heard before on the subjects. He is so sure of how he feels people should be it is awe inspiring(..' if you're not doing something you love, consider suicide') just takes my day to new levels listening to this. Remarkable speaker. 2 Earth and 3 Martian thumbs up!
Not to sound gripey but cmon, Farenheit Four Five One? HAHAH The intro guy has never read the book or even Cliff's Notes. That number, 451 is a TEMPERATURE. Just wow. What an insult to the Bradster. Ray says it right at 16:35. Four Fifty One. Only thing about writing like he does is that it CAN adversely affect the consistency and plot. You can write yourself into a corner sometimes. But it's way more enjoyable doing it his way instead of mapping it out outline form. thx for the vid.
@TruthSurge This is actually the only interview with Mr. Bradbury where I hear him refer to it as Four Fifty One. In most of the other interviews out there, and in his reading the audio version of the book, he says Four Five One.
@sgribley Well, then there's evidence for my belief! hahaha FOUR FIFTY ONE, baby! Who says "Set your oven to four five zero and bake for 20 minutes"? cmon, man. cmon. hahahahhahahaha
@sgribley Yes, the old lady is one zero three years old today. Ah, nobody cares. hehe If Bradbury himself called his own novel two different things in two interviews.... why should I care what it's called? :) But I'll ALWAYS call it "Farenheit Four Fifty One".
@RuthSLHare He says that because of the old "nothing new under the sun" and if the plot is never new then you must find your enjoyment in the journey, rather than the destination. It's kind of true. Very hard to write a plot that people can't guess halfway thru. I mean, take the lord of the rings. 3 entire novels to basically say that bad guy gets destroyed by dropping a ring into lava. We kind of KNOW he's going to get it but he strings it out for 3 novels. hahah
Love those old shows where they actually let their guests TALK instead of showing off their latest cleavages or gimmick...

@TeesByTruthSurge I considered Mayan base 12, but there is no application to use their numerals here.

@TruthSurge Nice - I think that you and I should refer to temperatures that way from now on, "Whew! The heat index is one one five today." :)
