| FILM Johnny Depp vs. Bill Murray Film · Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas · Where the Buffalo Roam Hunter S. Thompson impression · Very good with the exception of the wonky bow-legged walk and the silly bald head · Superb - entirely at home in a Hawaiian shirt, sun hat and Thompson's voice Past useful performances · 1985 teen sex comedy Private Resort; and two films with weirdo Tim Burton · Caddyshack's whacked-out slob Carl, the assistant groundskeeper, whose Kentucky Bluegrass and California sinsemilla hybrid would allow you to play 18 holes and then get stoned to the bejesus afterwards Other background · Helped kill bumpkin River Phoenix at Depp's legendary Hollywood young gun excess nightclub, the Viper Room · Worked at SNL with John Belushi - 'nuff said? Edge Bill Murray - while Depp's performance is quite good, his pretty boy actor to maniacal journalist transformation seems like acting; Murray, on the other hand, captures the humor and unpredictability of Thompson with ease and bang-on accuracy |
