Funnily enough, my friend introduced me to Hunter S. Thompson at a gathering last week, and got out 'Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas' for us to watch. I thought the film was absolutely brilliant, and was highly intrigued by Depp's persona - I must get the book. I heard that while trying to get into the character of Thompson, Depp spent around a month visiting him, only to find at the end of month there was a large collection of dynamite under the bed which they had sat on and talked for so many hours. I'm not too sure how true that is, but if it is, that is pretty awesome. Would you recommend 'Where the Buffalo Roam'?
