Glad I took time out of my day to catch Rum Diary yesterday though. Gave me an excuse knock back a few mid-day. Was not The Notebook or anything but I came close to shedding a Hollywood tear as the movie came to a close.<br /><br />And why, by the way, doesn't Canada have a country where we can go and knock golf balls from atop palaces in the sky off non-gringo noggins? Oh, that's right, the non-gringos can too easily pull us off their tee-pees or our Winnebagos if tried that crap.Mr. Beer N.

As a acolyte of The Doctor, I quite enjoyed reading Rum Diary and I think Mr. 21jumpstreet, being a of a similar Kentucky heritage as old Doc T., does a fairly good job of aping him in the Fear and Loathing movie and is a decent actor when he is allowed to act in real movies as opposed to cavorting in costume at the direction of Tim Burton or goofing on mr. Richards in bucaneer drag. Thompson was no Hemmingway or Fitzgerald, but neither of them wrote "The Great Shark Hunt." He was no Twain or Salinger either, but neither of them could have written "Strange Rumblings in Azatlan" or any of "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72" or "Fear and Loathing at the Super Bowl" or "Screwjack."<br /><br />I look forward to seeing the Rum Diary movie sometime on late night cable tv with large bottle of Bacardi Amber and other sundry accoutrements.<br />"Prince Jellyfish" sadly,never really got off the ground. Nor did "Polo is My Life"<br />I miss HST every day.<br />I can only imagine what he would say about the Obama administration and the current GOP leadership goat rodeoRev.Paperboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14561796588927776371noreply@blogger.com
