It's worth reading, anyway.

I don't know, the movie just seemed like it was going on and on forever. It kind of made you conscious of how camera angles and shots were set up, and that was odd. Like you knew that they had just trooped down to the beach, set up, said their lines and went back to the hotel.

There were a couple of funny parts, but he was going for more of the "Hunter S Thompson is an intense and moral political activist" thing than the "Hunter S Thompson is a funny stoned-off-his-ass guy who proffers deadpan witticisms with a cigarette holder clenched in his teeth" thing, so the whole tone of the film was very different. It felt like he played him older, when the character was supposed to have been younger.

I think if we wait around long enough, he'll take on "Hell's Angels" too.
