Blast – Wo die Büffel röhren (1980)

Blast – Wo die Büffel röhren: Directed by Art Linson. With Peter Boyle, Bill Murray, Bruno Kirby, Rene Auberjonois. Semi-biographical film based on the experiences of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson.

“I just happened upon this movie while perusing my u0026quot;Bill Murrayu0026quot; Favorite Actors Wishlist on my Tivo. I had never heard of it before, but since I enjoy reading Hunter S. Thompsonu0026#39;s work and having seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, I instructed my faithful DVR to record the movie at 4:30 one Sunday morning. WHAT A GREAT MOVIE!!! I cannot express this sentiment enough. From the dead on impersonation of Dr. Thompsonu0026#39;s mannerisms by Bill Murray to the militant antics of 60u0026#39;s radical lawyer Peter Boyle (Lazlo) throughout the movie, these two more than faithfully portrayed the crazy antics well documented in Gonzo journalism. Please, do yourself a favor, if you consider yourself a fan of this genre, or if you just want to see a timeless piece of funny, witty, action filled cinema, find a way to see this woefully under-advertised classic.”
