Watching Fear And Loathing makes me want to do really reckless shit.
Anyway,as someone pointed out,Thompson's lawer was hispanic.
I think Depp did an excellent job portraying Hunter. Supposedly,Thompson really hated the movie. He thought they portrayed him all wrong. I just think that they were too dead on and he saw some things about himself and his past that he didn't like( ie the way he rambles and mumbles)...and supposedly it was nothing like how it really happened,but isn't the movie's fault because they did a pretty good job of translating the book I thought.
I actually think I kind of talk like Hunter Thompson,or the way Depp portrayed him anyway (many people have told me this).
On a related note,Papaver looks like Hunter's long lost twin or something.

People think that if you just say the word "hallucinations" it explains everything you want it to explain and eventually whatever it is you can't explain will just go away.It's just a word,it doesn't explain anything...

I have a feeling a lot of the book was personal symbolism or some crap, that would only make sense to him? I dunno. Probably not at all... nevermind

The Rum Diary is not a sequel to F&L.

I have considered such matters.

Good book though.

After one comes, through contact with it's administrators, no longer to cherish greatly the law as a remedy in abuses, then the bottle becomes a sovereign means of direct action. If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it. - Ernest Hemingway
If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it. In the law courts, in business, in government. There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent. -Cormac MacCarthy
He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus
