Any other HST fans? He's seriously a hero

Highly recommend the doc, it's on starz on demand for those that have it.

Maher's Religulous is the last one I've seen.

I've seen the one you speak of, great documentary. I've been a fan ever since "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". Saw the movie first then read the book second. Both great in their own way, respectively.

That's a great movie, really a work of art. It's just SO chaotic. I imagine his writing is the same way, anyone who's read a lot of his have a recommendation on what I should read first?

I liked Bill Murray's comment to Depp about snapping back into his personality for the rest of your life once you take it on. I can totally understand that, he had such a great perspective.

I'd recommend reading "Fear and Loathing". I really enjoyed it, he has a visionary way words. I think Terry Gillaim did a great job bringing it to the screen. I like Terry, he's directed some good movies.

I've been thinking about picking up "The Rum Diary" another novel he wrote.

The film is set to release in 2010.

I'd recommend you buy The Great Shark Hunt:The Gonzo Papers Vol 1. that has everything from the birth of gonzo journalism to HST's coverage of Ali vs. Spinks in '78. Fear and Loathing is included and tons of other writings.
