Growing up, I was a huge Hunter S. Thompson fan. Take from that what you will, but I devoured everything the man wrote. Like many, it was Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas that first grabbed me. It’s an incredible book, and the movie, from director Terry Gilliam and starring Johnny Depp as Raoul Duke, was as close to a visual representation of a book like this could probably be on film. Still, I was surprised at how low its Rotten Tomatoes score is (currently 51%), but thinking about, I get it.
