The guy's an egocentric, selfish man. This tries to reform the vile. Just because someone can write doesn't mean they belong to the human race. Only if you've got a strong stomach.

Yawn. Probably okay for a fan, or someone who really wants to hear the sycophantic opinions of a bunch of Hollywood has beens.

nice little overview of the great mans life, although it doesn't go deep enough for me - a great primer.

A touching overview of the good Doctor's final days and the two movies his work inspired. The star power featured here is phenomenal, including the opening three minutes of Gary Busey being a complete whack-job.

After watching this one we all wondered how we'd never heard of Hunter Thompson before ... he was one clever & crazy SOB ... this doco is a must for fans of film & literature.
