Oh yeah! I should pay more attention to film releases but most are just so much crap.

This could be really good and I think I should see it on opening night in the theater.

This should be fantastic, how can you go wrong with Thomson afterall!
Should make for a rollercoaster of a soundtrack too.

Sounds leek Johnny Depp will be making some good commentary too

Have you guys read the behind the scenes of Fear and loathing in las vegas?

"In the Spring of 1997, Depp moved into the basement of Thompson's Owl Farm home and lived there for four months, doing research for the role as well as studying Thompson's habits and mannerisms."

This looks great and its really time for a first class Thompson Documentary.
Now I'm just hoping that "The Rum Diary" is still being made. Didnt hear much about in the last... year or so.

Just saw it last night. Fantastic. It really focuses on the best years of his work and features some of the most important people in his life both pro and con Hunter (too bad Nixon's dead).
