By the way, I managed to watch part of the film version of Fahrenheit 451 last weekend, hoping it would be as good as the book.
Um, no way. I couldn't even sit down and watch the whole thing. I turned it off halfway through. Now, I don't think everything make in the 60s was crap, but this was one of those cases. Weird as it seems, Equilibrium was a far better remake of the novel than 1966 version. Props for Bale and Bean for actually getting the message across with far less effort than that Austrian guy from the 60s version.
That being said, I can't wait for the remake that Frank Darabont (The Green Mile) is working on. Hopefully, he'll get people that at least sound American. I can't get over Guy Montag sounding like Arnold.
