Hey, you know where hurricanes are pretty common? Puerto Rico. And you know who once spent a brief, hallucinatory stint in Puerto Rico while working for a newspaper? Hunter S. Thompson. He wrote a book about it in the early '60s, called The Rum Diary, when he was just 22. And now they've gone and turned Thompson's semi-autobiographical tale of treachery, booze, and the newspaper business into a movie, starring longtime Thompson pal Johnny Depp. Check out his very best mumbly Thompson impression! (As first seen in Fear and Loathing.)

The Rum Diary, also starring Amber Heard, Aaron Eckhart and Richard Jenkins, will be out on October 28th, so don't be surprised if there's even more short-shorts and Hawaiian shirts on the streets for Halloween this year.
