Hunter Thompson Speaking about First Novel Rum Diary With Charlie Rose

[marcusmay86]

Hunter S. Thompson is my Favorite author read fear and loathing in las vegas and the rum diary, im reading another one of his books. GREAT GREAT STORIES. I really miss Hunter and flipping America up side down LOL and showing us how we are. HE WHO MAKES A BEAST OF HIMSELF GETS RID OF THE PAIN OF BEING A MAN LOL

[werobanks]

charlie rose along with hollywood, each in their own tedious ways - have no imagination. nor would either of them know art if it bit them in the hindmost

[MicroNuggets]

They fucked up the movie.

[werobanks]

@MicroNuggets yes, a shame....but no surprise

[GPsgurl80]

I wish this whole interview was posted. :/

[MurphyBurrito]

People don't get it. This man predicted the future. He emerged himself in the extremes to learn about them and then related them to the rest of our sad souls. He knew how society's shit heads back then would lead to society's shit heads today.

[JonnyUnderrated]

@MurphyBurrito Well said ....well said. T'is the truth.

[ZEITGEISTism]

@MurphyBurrito

in other words he stated the obvious right ? ....too bad he wasnt listened too more widely (but who knows if that wouldve made any difference anyway)

[werobanks]

@LaughingatpainUSAway which one?

[deadskyfallin]

[Filmzie]

Johnny Depp is great as a young Thompson but if they want to do the last parts of his life no one is more perfect for this role than J K SIMMONS.

if not Johnny Depp, the guy who plays the newspaper head honcho in Spiderman should play him. anyone else see it?

[timmay301]

[74bomayemcfc]

The one And only Hunter S Thompson...

[ianwist]

4 dislikes...aka..4cuntts watched this

[GhotiPhish3]

He talks about seeing the film and enjoying it. Filming didn't begin on The Rum Diaries in Puerto Rico until March of 2009. Hunter shot himself on February 20th 2005.

[ninjaking333]

@GhotiPhish3 The film they're talking about is obviously Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas

[TheHexeract]

@ninjaking333 it could have been "where the buffalo roam"

[ninjaking333]

@TheHexeract Depp didn't star in Where the Buffalo Roam. 

[stalepixel]

@GhotiPhish3 no hes talking about having seen fear and loathing]

[seppukuification925]

@GhotiPhish3 haha lol are you dumb? He was obviously talking about Fear n Loathing

[GhotiPhish3]

When was this shot?

[maureencora1]

This Guy was So Cool, R.I.P.

[kingcole55]

Yea the movie looks like shit. Love Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but the Rum Diary looks like a traditional hollywood movie.

[timmay301]

my attorney was poring beer on his chest in order to facilitate the tanning process.

i just finished the rum diary - excellent book. real, honest, sensual, and true to thompson's character..

[clebb11]

you should read the book before

[quasispyder]

I can't wait for this to come out!!! Only a few more days! Sweet...... This movie will ROCK! Johnny Depp is the MAN! Hunter S. Thompson is brilliant! On another note.... THIS IS BAT COUNTRY!

[mimmimooter]

kudos to Johnny for getting the film made, and even though Hunter said the book was rejected by seven publishers and his best friend said it was garbage, I will go see the film regardless!

[mekanik187]

i wonder if the hells angels book will be made into a movie. Mr. Barger pllease greenlight it.

[OneUserNameLeft]

i hate when people compare hunter thompson to god. i mean hes good but hes no hunter thompson ;)

[MrDangerwarning101]

[hg585]

i wish Terry Gilliam was directing the film!! im sure it'll be decent as it is though.. you don't fuck with Hunter Thompson's mind; he fucks with YOURS!

[illinoisstalker]

Is it just me or does he look and sound a lot like J.K Simmons?

[Astonish70]

Cant wait to see the movie vs the book.

[mekanik187]

@Astonish70 i thought the book was good but damn man the trailer is throws me off.

[whitejay441]

i love when he laughs at the comment about art being its own reward

[CelosTV]

Can wait to see the world he wrote. The Rum DIary

[colemartinst123]

[lovificationofmusic]

@colemartinst123 just saw in interview where johnny depp said it was coming out this fall. He said they finished it last year but waited to release it this year because so many of his films and big films in general were coming out and they wanted to wait for the right time to release it
