Hunter S. Thompson Didn't Like Tobey Maguire in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'
You've probably heard of the man, the myth and the legend that was Hunter.S.Thompson. He lead an incredibly unusual lifestyle (to say the least) as a Gonzo-rock-star-esque writer in America during the swinging 60's, 70's and up until his suicide in the mid noughties. In 1998 his, arguably best, novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was brought to the BIG screen directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Benicio Del-Toro and Johnny Depp who played a version of Hunter. In one drug fueled scene early on in the film, as the characters race to Vegas they pick up a hitchhiker played by a fresh-faced Tobey Maguire.

Herbert West Is Back in New Animated H.P. Lovecraft Movie
Re-Animator Fans rejoice! it seems our manic scientist is returning to the big screen in this official adaption. I'm personally a MASSIVE fan of the Re-Animator movies and H.P.Lovecraft's work, the guy was a genius but so underrated in his time (i can relate lol).

My 'Ghostbusters' Trailer Reaction
As the Ghostbusters reboot speeds towards it's somewhat troublesome release the whole internet has been in an uproar. I previously shared my article 5 Hilarious Ghost-buster Trailer Reactions on the subject (the stay puft marshmallow man's is still my favourite) and have been encouraged to share my own views on the matter.

5 Hilarious Reactions to the New Ghostbusters Trailer...
So the internet has gone slightly crazy after the first official Ghostbusters trailer hit last week. The all-female Ghostbusters team idea seems to be getting a similar response to that of Marmite, which has a love it or hate it marketing ploy.
