Hunter S. Thompson

After deciding to see a movie, we narrowed the choices to either Justin Timberlake’s futuristic sci-fi “In Time,” or Johnny Depp’s “The Rum Diary.”  Left to my own devices, I probably would have chosen the JT sci-fi.  Having to choose between Timberlake and Depp is a win-win for any girl.  When my husband preferred the Depp movie, I was happy enough.

What I didn’t know was that “The Rum Dairy” is an adaptation of an early Hunter S. Thompson novel.  Had I done the research beforehand, it would have been a no-brainer.
