more on thompson

I was recently made aware of a movie that was made in 1980 called Where the Buffalo Roam, starring Bill Murray as Hunter Thompson! The review at imdb.com says, “Now the first thing that struck me, was Murray´s incredible performance: He is 100% Hunter S. Thompson, the way he moves and talks. You can actually see how much Johnny Deep copied his acting in ‘Fear and Loathing’.”

Now, I know for a fact that Depp studied Thompson directly to get ready for Fear and Loathing, but I imagine that he had seen this movie and I am very excited to see how Bill Murray does in the role. I have the movie on my Blockbuster.com list now and I will post a review after I have watched it.
