hst retrospectives in rolling stone
I recently subscribed to Rolling Stone, and today I'm especially glad that I did. The issue that arrived yesterday contains approximately 40 pages (minus advertisements) of retrospectives and memoirs involving Hunter S. Thompson (a.k.a. HST). Guest authors include President Jimmy Carter, Johnny Depp, Jack Nicholson, Ed Bradley, Pat Buchanan, Jann Wenner, his widow Anita, his son Juan, his first wife Sandy, and many many more. Depp's article is great. You can tell he spent "bonding" time with the Good Doctor--especially when filming Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. At times in the article Depp almost sounds like HST.
We'd saunter out of the house to take a drive in the car like freakish twins. So, for good or ill, there we were, a pair of deviant bookends on the prowl. -Depp
If you pass by a newsstand, I highly recommend you pick up a copy.

I saw Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas last summer and really enjoyed it. There are few producers/directors today that really deliver an entire film in a consistent, interesting aesthetic style, and this was one of them. It was good fun. (And I must say that any desire I had to pop strange pills was entirely strangled.)
Chris,
I've found all of Terry Gilliam's films are that way. Try 12 Monkeys or The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Amazing that this all comes from a man who made obscure animations for Monty Python, n'est pas?
