... some big-time Thompson fans on this board.

I, too, read Fear and Loathing at an early age and loved it. But something else I loved was the Bill Murray movie, Where The Buffalo Roam. Several people here have mentioned the Johnny Depp movie, so my question is: What do serious Hunter S Thompson fans think of the Bill Murray movie? I loved it, but I'm easily amused.

I must say that I was saddened by the news today, but when I later heard it was a suicide, a sly grin came across my face. I'll have to dig out that Hunter S Thompson for President bumper sticker I've had for 25 years.
