not really *dupeof=http://videosift.com/video/Conan-OBrien-hangs-out-with-Hunter-S-Thompson

Except it really is dupeof.

The only thing different is a younger Conan introducing the segment, with almost the exact same words. Better quality, this one is.

Sorry, just saw dpt's post. This one is better quality....

This is a dupe, but you should leave it up for a few days because it's so awesome. http://videosift.com/video/Conan-OBrien-hangs-out-with-Hunter-S-Thompson

Just saw this flick again last night, and I've got to say, it's a lot smarter and better put together than I initially thought. It's the excruciatingly confusing tone that makes this thing work for me. Think Idiocracy meets David Lynch meets Hunter S. Thompson. It's messy, but intentionally messy because it allows it's critique of American shallowness to permeate every aspect of the film's production. Still, you are going to want to medicate heavily before viewing for maximum enjoyment.

Thanks, Sheriff Chien!

I looked into this a couple years back and found some credible stuff basically saying he wasn't working on a 9/11 story anymore - don't remember if it was never in the works or if it was dumped. Wish I could find that info now, because I was convinced at the time that this murder conspiracy was a non-story. I'm a big HST fan, so it would've been fun for me to believe in a mystery like this.

As far as nobody hearing anything, I do remember his son saying that he was downstairs, Hunter was upstairs, and he heard what he thought was a book hitting the floor, which was actually the gunshot.

The biggest mystery to me, though, if true: When he was discovered, a single word was typed out on a page on his typewriter: Counselor. Wonder if that had any meaning to it, hmm...

I have read a bunch of Hunter S Thompson books and always enjoyed them. The details surrounding his death, however, were always a little confusing for me. As far back as I can remember his wife was on the phone with him, he was talking about finishing some sports column and put the phone down a second then didnt get back on it. The fact that she, who was waiting for him to get back on the phone, and her son, who was upstairs at the time, both didnt hear a gunshot was suspicious to me. I dont know how much putting a gun in your mouth muffles the shot but it just seemed odd that neither person heard it. My opinion is there had to be someone else in there with a silencer.

Wow that API is pretty slick. With like 20 seconds of regex text editting I was able to grab the last 100 pages accessed. I could even grep for /search/ or whatever.
