Martin Grove had an interesting commentary / interview with Gibney in yesterday's Hollywood Reporter. There's nothing terribly new but Gibney explains his approach and says how critical JD was to the film.

Thanks, Fan great read-I really enjoyed the part explaining why HST was considered so great, and the impact he would have had today-plus the comments about JD :rolleyes: were great. Anne r :)

Thanks FAN for finding that article. I'm hoping to go see the documentary when it comes to Ann Arbor.

:thanks Thank you Fan for bringing this article to my attention. I am looking forward to getting to see this.

Anita Thompson is once again on the rampage about any slurs to HST's name. Here's a link to her blog addressing her displeasure about parts of the Gonzo film:

I wish I didn't have such a cynical reaction to her words. I'll leave it at that.

We have an accord.

Just got back from seeing the Alex Gibney film here in Eugene. I really enjoyed it, even though parts of it are hard to watch/listen to. HST was an American hero, with human flaws. His razor sharp insight and writings about our political system are still valid today. I hope the young folks out there go and see this movie, read his books, and look beyond his flamboyance to see his brilliance. The sound track is great, too. :rolleyes: Nemosfriend
