I have yet to see The Dark Knight-- mostly because every screening we wanted to go to was sold out! (Seeing it in IMAX seems crucial too.) Settled for another movie and saw Gonzo. Saw this movie with three people-- two of whom do magazine work, so they were especially stoked. The third person is getting a dual degree from Yale (MD and MBA, that is hardcore).
Anyway, this documentary was very good, especially since Johnny Depp narrated. In short, Hunter S. Thompson was a crazy journalist with an insane infatuation with psychedelics. He also had a son that he named Juan, which is bizarre, since neither he or his wife are of Hispanic descent. Thompson chose to off himself in 2005 by shooting himself in the head—he had been speaking of killing himself for years and owed many, many firearms. I am not a proponent of suicide, but this guy really had to go out with a bang (no pun intended).
