I understood what they were trying to do but I didn't like it. Depp character actually got a little less annoying and just plain clearer as the movie went along which I thought was win in and of itself even if I thought Del Toro was better.

I guess you gotta understand the source material (Hunter S. Thompson) to really 'get it'.
As a fun aside, when Depp says "Mother of God, there I am", the old man he is looking at is Hunter S. Thompson himself.

I knew about S. Thompson life & work before watching the film but that is beside the point, I shouldn't had to have read anything about Thompson to "get" the movie. The movie is an entity into itself, influenced by Thompson's work? Absolutely, but a work that should stand alone.

And it does, I'm just saying there's further facets alluded to than just what's in the movie. Fan service, if you will.
I watched "Pumping Iron" last night for, surprisingly, the first time. I usually don't have one and a half to two solid hours that I want to commit to watching a movie.
A day before i watched Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) which is surprisingly quite good and The Amazing Spider-man 2 which is unsurprisingly bad. I'm currently near the end of Blue is The Warmest Color (2013)
Bought the Limited Edition Trilogy Collection. One of the nicest collector's editions I've ever bought, bar none. Gorgeous presentation for relatively cheap ($54.99). Full die-cast vehicle replicas too.
i was playing my game rohan yesterday when my friends asked me to go outside and see a movie. We watched Guardians of the galaxy and Into the storm. I love these two.
