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.
