I started to watch the movie first, got about 20 minutes in and shut if off thinking it was stupid.

Then I discovered HST, sadly due to his suicide and all the grandeur around his funeral.

My son purchased Hells Angels and read it, I borrowed that from him and liked it. So I grabbed Fear and Loathing and loved that book so much. Then I went back and watched the movie, getting its drift, and loved the movie.

From all the video clips I have watched of HST and allI have read about him, Depp nailed his mannerisms to a T.

Rum Diary is also a decent book and the movie (while leaving out a key character) was well done too.
