Rum

My good friend Dave gifted a copy of Hunter S. Thompson's  "The Rum Diary" to me. I have not yet seen the Johnny Depp film. I greatly hope that it reflects the book as well as "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas" reflected it's original material. Although, even "Fear & Loathing" held back quite a bit from the true savagery of Raoul Duke and his attorney twisting their way through Sin City. "The Rum Diary" director Bruce Robinson has some really interesting and strange films under his belt. "How to Get Ahead in Advertising"(1989)  & "Withnail & I"(1987) are worth mentioning in future blogs. Please let us know what you thought of "The Rum Diary" if you get a chance.
