To get the thread somewhat back on topic....
I'm watching the commentary track and the the director explains how his movie is not a rip off of F-451, 1984 and other movies. He says F-451 is about McCarthyism (I say its about censorship but its basically the same theme) and 1984 is about socialism while his movie is about being numb and how the society in the movie don't want to feel anything anymore. Its actually a really good commentary track. If you have the DVD go listen to it now.
