Saturday in the Trailer Park
Apple debuted a handful of exclusive trailers this week. There are two documentaries and one Brit import. The first is Bill Maher’s Religulous (that’s Religious + Ridiculous), a doc about religion in the U.S. Directed by Larry Charles (Borat), the film was intended to be this summer’s hot-button documentary to capture the Michael Moore audience, but was pushed back to October in order to gain a little buzz on the festival circuit. You can find that here .
The other documentary is about one of the most eccentric political writers in American history, Hunter S. Thompson. Narrated by his friend Johnny Depp, Gonzo features interviews with Jimmy Carter, Pat Buchanan, George McGovern, Rolling Stone-founder Jann Wenner and many more. It looks OK, but not particularly stellar. You can find it here .
Boy A, on the other hand, looks very interesting. It’s about a young man who saves a woman’s life, but when his picture ends up in the paper, people discover he committed a violent murder when he was a child and his life turns upside down. You can find that one here .
Over on Yahoo, they’ve got themselves an exclusive teaser for Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Thankfully, there are plenty of lemurs and penguins. It’s available here .

Hunter S. Thompson dates me back to my cave dwelling days when I was writing on caverness walls. My God, I had almost forgotten about him!
Hunter broke ground for other writers. Gonzo journalism was done by the seat of your pants and a few lines of coke. It was a different time.
Thanks for the memory.
