Anyone see this? My wife rented it last night and watched 20 minutes of it and turned it off. She said it was terrible but our tastes differ quite a bit. I might give it a shot tonight but don't wanna waste my time. We have the DVD for 5 days.
Let me know.

I personally love this movie, and when you get into the story of it, its really interesting. A older friend of mine actually met Hunter S. Thompson, and the way Depp portrays him is smack on the money. The story of the movie was, Thompson was a VERY heavy drug user back in the 60s and 70s, and an incredible write at the same time. He got this idea to take a two week period, grab his "Simoan" friend, go to Las Vegas, and take as many drugs as possible and record the whole thing for a story. Needless to say no one took the story, but here it is, its all its glory. You have to have a little stomach to watch it, but i personally love it to death!!! To each there own though
