Very sad. :(
I remember Fahrenheit 451 was one of the few required-reading books that I enjoyed in high school. I may still have my book, on the shelf of books downstairs. You know -- the shelf everybody has to look smart to guests, even though you probably never read any of them, or hated reading them; Shakespeare, Dickens, etc. ________________________________________ It's a bit dirty, but I've always found the comedian Rachel Bloom's music video to be an amusing tribute to Ray Bradbury. From what I recall, he had seen/heard it, and found it amusing, though I can no longer find a direct quote from him online. Attached below is a photo from her Facebook profile, purported to be him viewing the video, when they finally met (after she'd made the video, obviously). She's one of the writers on Robot Chicken. And she's rather attractive and funny in real life. The video was nominated for a 2011 Hugo Award (a prestigious sci-fi/fantasy award) for Best Dramatic Short!! Here's a news story from the time: Quote:
I rather like her rip on Disney's The Little Mermaid: I Was a Mermaid and Now I'm a Pop Star. It starts out with a really good homage to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and then breaks into a funny auto-tune pop synth satire (in the style of Katy Perry) mixed with more chick rap jabbing Disney. |
