For all Your Rum Diary movie news.

I know I’m beating this to death but it must be done. For any, and all up to date Rum Diary movie news please see Rory’s Totally Gonzo. He has had his bony, wiry fingers on the Rum Diary movie pulse from day one. Judging by a few emails I’ve been getting some folks think Rory and I are in competition. Not so. It is all about keeping the Gonzo freight train moving and Keeping Hunter’s memory vigorous and interesting. This movie will generate a load of new Hunter Thompson fans, more readers of his books, and renewed interest from fans of old. For me this competition nonsense has no place here. There are important times afoot in the Gonzo world. Best if we got on with it.

Another Dimension.

Since I’ve been away friends/brothers have passed on. Old friends have re-emerged and new friendships have been forged, steady friends have remained as have family. Now its time to forge ahead, leave the bleakness behind without forgetting, begin adding to this nightmare of a site and see where we end-up.

I’m going to begin the second leg with a chap who calls himself Jon Berry (an Irishman in an American’s body, lost in the depths of Alabama.) This month Jon began teaching a course on none other than Hunter S. Thompson. I hope to follow their progress over the next number of weeks and naturally post details of their voyage on this site. I’ll be in touch with Mr Berry soon and hope to begin posting on Saturday. Hopefully, through this we’ll see another side to learning about Hunter. More soon.

Tom Benton and his famous Aspen Wallposters need no introduction in the world of Hunter S. Thompson. For anyone who is not familiar with Benton’s work please click the following links for more information. http://bentonbook.com/ and  http://blog.bentonbook.com/ and http://www.tomwbenton.com/

Daniel J. Watkins is currently working with George Stranahan on a book about Tom Benton. He was kind enough to send me some pictures of all Hunter S. Thompson related Wallposters. See the slide show above. There is a lot more to follow soon about Daniel’s great project..

(I’m trying to work out a minor bug with the slideshow, it will be fixed soon but you can see all the pictures none the less.)
