He was a tortured soul with an energy that was phenomenal. Hunter Thompson, formed and shaped by the most controversial generation that the United States ever had, was the man that helped to change writing and journalism as it is known today. He was known for his flamboyant writing style, Gonzo Journalism, which blurred the distinction between writer and subject. He was a visionary and an ?in your face? opinionated force to be dealt with. His imagery was too much for many who could not comprehend his perception on politics and life in general.

The independent film, ?Gonzo,? concentrates on Thompson as the unique individual he was. Oscar nominated and Academy Award winner, director Alex Gibney brings about a raw perspective on the inner thoughts of Hunter as only Gibney can. The project was brought to Alex nearly three years ago and the director expresses, ?I had no idea what I was in for. Hunter was somebody who didn?t play by the rules-he used biting humor to show people how politicians lie to us. So I thought it would be a good idea to go back and look at him as a writer.? When asked what he took away from the film he states, ?The most satisfying part of the journey was through the words of the man himself.? Alex is known for his brutal honesty in the films he directs. The movie ?Gonzo? is no exception, as the viewer is able to see the true Hunter in his life?s work and goals.

Mr. Depp now claims the top spot on the IMDb’s STARmeter for the fifth year in a row — even though his biggest appearances of the year were on the red carpet of the Oscars (where he was nominated for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street) and at the MTV Movie Awards, where he snagged trophies for both Sweeney Todd and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. And fans couldn’t stop talking about his upcoming roles in Michael Mann’s Public Enemies (as John Dillinger) and Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (as the Mad Hatter), as well as salivating at the concept of him playing The Riddler in the next Batman flick. Check back with us next year to see if that comes to fruition — we’re sure he’ll be somewhere at the top of this list again!

It?s a well known fact among all those that follow Johnny, Pirates or Disney that the character of Jack Sparrow will no longer be at the Disneyland park. HOWEVER, the news that Jack was ?fired? from Disneyland because of flashing and inappropriate incidents (as stated in San Diego Tribune, ktla, TMZ.com and The Tribune) are categorically inaccurate. ?The Boob statement was totally not true and never happened at all.? states Brandon Pinto, whose quote to the SDTribune was misconstrued and now misquoted by these publications. Other individuals quoted in the Tribune article have not and do not work for the park in anyway. ?All Disney employees are held to a very high standard and these false incidents were in no way shape or form the cause of Jacks disappearance from the park as far as I know.? Pinto expressed. Disney?s official statement that these rumors are false, also match with the truth that Jack was moved to another part of the park and his numbers went down. Of course Jack will return to the park in booming popularity in the coming years as POTC 4 opens!
