Yeah, Irish, Depp was fucking fantastic. If you've ever seen any footage of the real Thompson, you'd know he nailed him right on the head. Depp actually spent three months living in Thompson's basement, walking around the house observing him and mimicking his mannerisms and speech patterns. Did you watch it on the Criterion Collection DVD? If so, check out the "Fear and Loathing on the Road to Hollywood" documentary. It's a BBC film from 1978 that follows Hunter as he drives from his home in Colorado, through Las Vegas, and on to Hollywood, where he meets with representatives of Universal to begin planning 1980's Where the Buffalo Roam, the first attempt to capture Hunter on the big screen. It's quite interesting, and watching that, you just come to appreciate Depp's performance so much more.
