Right. I don't have the movie.

Marlboro kings. He described it in the book "fear and loathing in las vegas." I honestly thought the book was better than the movie.

Count me as one who was profoundly disappointed by the film. I thought it was campy. It was too...it's hard to describe. It tried to push some image. It seemed inauthentic and more like a Gilliam film than a Thompson film. I don't think Hunter came out in either of the films.

I totally agree. Johnny depp didnt do that good of a job. I mean hes great in pirates and all but Hunter S Thompson wasnt his type of character. I believe the book brings you deeper into Hunter himself.


He was the true American outlaw and all

Of course the movie wasn't as good as the book, they never are(except Fight Club). I was a big fan of Hunter before the movie was made and have read most of his books, but I really liked the movie too. Of course I like Depp, Gilliam and Del Toro a lot. I think it captured the spirit of the book for the most part and stayed true to the central themes. Of course it went through a bit of transformation being made into a film, but I thought the end result was quite satisfying and that most directors and actors would have totally butchered and mistranslated it. Hunter's mojo was totally imprinted on Depp when he played him, he's been channeling it in almost everything he's done since. He even paid for the construction of the freak fist cannon that Hunter had designed to shoot his ashes out of.

God damn right Depp did a good job portraying Thompson, and like the last guy said its been seeping out of his characters ever since, much the same way its been doing to me since I started reading the books. If you have ever had in your possession the special edition of that DVD which is all they sell anymore, watch the special features. It has lots of things on the both of them. In fact, in the movie that flashback he was having in the acid club where he looks down at some old guy sitting at a table and is like "huh?? Is that me?" The guy at the table is Thompson. If you dont think Depp did a good job portraying the real Hunter S. Thompson, perhaps you have a false image of what Thompson is really like?? He was there for every part of the movie scrutinizing over it, so you know he didnt let Depp deviate at all.

I cant help but slowly start to transform more and more into Thompson it seems. His gonzo journalism makes so much sense to me on so many different schizophrenic levels I invented it in the past through him before I was born.... ?? ... Whatever. Anyway I must keep the tradition alive. Like he said "Crazy lives forever." And I know god damn well Im beyond crazy. Fuck... my arm has been telling me that for years.

SO heres to Thompson. And hell.. why not? Heres to Depp as well. Amen. Git R DOne.
