The Rum Diary (2009) The Rum Diary on IMDb

not so much a personal brag, but it's awesome nonetheless (for any fan of hunter s thompson, at least).

beat - 2009

variance - johnny dep as Yeamon?

this is cool, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it'll be made.

the imdb page says they should be starting production in puerto rico whenever depp is done filming whatever it is he's filming right now.

nice

i have faith in this finishing because of the personal relationship depp had with thompson

clicked the link; can't decipher intelligence.

However, Hunter S. Thompson would win BBV4L, if he had started playing poker. He wins the list of recently dead idols for degens.

yeah HST would have made a pretty spectacular bbv4l poster, assuming that he avoided getting banned, which he certainly wouldn't.

I saw a biography on him in a bookstore the other day and I want to get it still.

Yeah, I heard about that movie. The book was OK. I'd rather see a loose adaptation of Hell's Angels tho.

Where the Buffalo Roam = beat due to Bill Murray and Peter Boyle imo

Hunter S. Thompson- one of best writers from late 60's- mid- 70's. I hear he sucked at fiction, but his non-fiction was in different class.
