Last week’s Bill Murray movie was Where the Buffalo Roam. I thought it was very funny and Bill played an excellent Hunter S. Thompson. Well, my only reference is Johnny Depp’s portrayal of the gonzo journalist in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas but both it felt like the same person; with quirky jerky movements, mumbling monologues into a tape recorder, and random outbursts. 🦇
Prior to filming Fear and Loathing, Murray called Depp with the advice “Be careful, or you’ll find yourself ten years from now still doing him…Make sure your next role is some drastically different guy.”
