To date... I forgot...
Where the Buffalo Roam [1980] Bill Murray plays Hunter S. Thompson. I saw Terry Gillam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas [his screenplay], and liked it somewhat. Johnny Depp was very satisfying. And I remembered loving Where the Buffalo Roam when I first saw it many years ago. I was so wrong. It is Bad. I'm sure I would profit by reflecting on why I liked it then. Maybe it was odd. Maybe I liked the Counterculture then. But it's just unwatchable.

This comment is as much to demonstrate the comments feature as anything else. There's a scene in Where the Buffalo Roam that is a personal favorite:
Hunter Thompson (Murray) is standing at a urinal in the Watergate Hotel, when he realizes that at the next urinal, is Richard Nixon. He goes into a long rant about everything that's wrong with the country, ending with the words "So Mr. President, what about the doomed?!"
Nixon turns to him, and waits a beat.
"Fuck the doomed," he says.
