ahh well, Rest well Hunter
He was a journalist, and that wonderful movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, was based on his personal experiences back in the 70's. Yes, the drugs and mayhem is all based on the original reality film he made called Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trial '74.Quote:

And if you haven't seen that movie, then go, go now and rent it! :p
*Fixed. This is a great movie! I watched it with Hunter Thompson commentating. I wish I had the book, or knew of a store that would actually sell it :(Quote:

If you can't find the book in stores, which you won't, order it through Chapters or Amazon books. They can get any book you desire. :)
man it doesnt really seem like its been 2 years. I love fear and loathing
I just downloaded the torrent and watched it...
Man..what a mind blowing movie.
I doubt he committed suicide. He was in the process of writing a book exposing the Franklin Coverup. If you don't know what that is go here:
The Franklin Coverup Scandal The Child sex ring that reached Bush/Reagan Whitehouse
He's isn't the only one who has "committed suicide" in an attempt to keep this quiet.
That's what I was getting at in my first post. :)Quote:
