Obviously the guest writer had her priorities a little backward. Kind of a slap in the face to the great director.

The writer of such a piece has so much to live up to. Will they do his memory justice, will they be able to convey the true spirit of the person they are commissioned to write about, will they be able to tell the story in so many words or less. A hard task when that subject is Hunter S. Thompson, a man whose words echoed so much to a generation. This writer has done that and more. It has been written in such a way that those few unfortunate souls, who have yet to learn about Hunter and his accomplishments, will be pushing and pawing their way to the theater to view this masterpiece. This write up with its excerpts from director Gibney and Hunter’s dear friend Johnny Depp, shows the reader that this is not just an autobiographical film about an author that lived life on the edge. But that this is a story about a man, who was dearly loved by all who had the good fortune to be invited in for a closer look. If the trailer isn’t enough to get you to the theater, then reading this article should bring you there with friends in tow. A must see and this is a must read!
