Depp rules.

For anyone who hasn't seen "Dead Man," I highly recommend it.

I have it. Hunter Thompson is the wildest and greatest. That movie kind follows a Thompson book and Murry does a great job of the transfer. That "'72 election campaign story" is the very worth while reading imo.

So you read the '72 Campaign book and know the story behind all the scenes ?

yeah i've read FEAR AND LOATHING ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL '72. What's your point?

It was a really poorly-made movie. It is boring, the actors don't look like they know what do do in each scene. It is a bad movie.

my point is that the movie is a good redention of Thompsons' act.
I don't think he directed or produced the movie. It wasn't a blockbuster. I think you missed the point of the book.. try reading it again.

I think you are the one missing the point. The book and the movie are two completely different entities. The book is a good read, essential HST - really one of his only three "Must Read" books along with FaLiLV and Rum Diary. The movie is terrible. Actually, I think Bill Murray does a decent job of transcribing Thompson to the screen... but if you think that WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM is a good movie, then I think you are missing the point.
