Anyone else cautiously optimistic (wtf, 21st-century cagey phrases?) about the filmic Rum Diary?  I kind of grew up on Thompson, so it’s hard to say.  I rather enjoyed Gilliam’s take on Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, but then again, Benicio Del Toro’s corpulent belly was its own character.

This will probably call for smuggling Cuba Libres into the theatre.
