Ray Bradbury RIP

Most writers above their books can be found here in our book case here...

The movies of Bradbury's books always had a surreal aura to them that I loved. Must have worked closely with the producer and director?

Could be my very favorite Bradbury work is The Illustrated Man. The movie, with Rod Steiger, is one I can watch over and over.

R.I.P, Mr. Bradbury.

Bradbury wrote a lot for TV & movies, so I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that he personally had a hand in those projects.

As opposed to, say, the movie version of I, Robot -- used a few character names and some very basic concepts, but otherwise had nothing to do with Asimov's Robot books. And we won't even begin to discuss what they did to Heinlein's The Puppet Masters or Starship Troopers.

Must admit. I *tried* to read a Bradbury tome a long time ago and it never clicked with me. Not much into sci-fi.
