Gonzo - Life and Works of Hunter S.[views:2187][posts:7]______________________________________ [Jul 14,2008 12:54pm - ouchdrummer ""] Anyone else see it yet? I saw it totaly hung over from At the Gates Saturday morning in Kendall and it was so good. It's not another movie like "Where the Buffalo Roam" and "Fear and Loathing" but a documentary. If you read ANY of his stuff, if you admired ANY part of his heroic life, or if you think ALL he did was drugs, go see it NOW. It's so, so, good. He did the sort of shit that puts a smile on your face every time you think about it, and for good reasons too, for actual purpases, it's uplifting to think that someone with so many problems (like most of us) can still accomplish so many good things, and enlighten so many people. |

Do most people have problems? Or are they just neurotic? |

______________________________________ [Jul 15,2008 10:42am - ouchdrummer ""] i don't know about that rev, granted it seemed like senseless self indulgance, but I don't see it that way, maybe because i know more about his life after reading more of his stuff (before and during Gonzo writting) and seeing this documentary. I bet it would suprise ya. |
