Marlon Brando says, "I just made him an offer he couldn't refuse," and the rest is history.  (the context is of course important.)

i was so blind (i don't mean on that evening) i hardly knew who Thompson was (at least from previous reading, i mean i knew he was echt famous) as we were carousing.  i thought only this was a great distraction from spiritual truth.  That night, and those in the ensuing years, showed me otherwise.

Meanwhile, back im Kino, Terry Gilliam is brilliant, far more that i was capable of understanding in those days.  Weiter!

I  always thought that the film captured the book quite well, in places, although I did seem to find that there were bits missing that should have been there.

Terry Gilliam is brilliant, far more that i was capable of understanding in those days.

He's at his morst brilliant in making Brazil, the more I see that the m ore prescient it seems.

Oh and the last two F1 races have almost restored my faith in the spectacle.
