Dukes tribute to Dr. Gonzo – “There he goes. One of Gods own prototypes. Some kind of high-powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die” – is taken from the foreword of “Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo,” the semi-autobiographical novel written by Oscar Zeta Acosta. Zeta Acosta was the famous “Chicano lawyer” and friend of Hunter S. Thompson whose notorious party binges served as the model for Dr. Gonzo. Thompson changed Zeta Acostas ethnic identity to “Samoan” to deflect suspicion from Zeta Acosta, who was in some trouble with militant Chicanos in L.A. at the time the book was written.

Cameo: [Hunter S. Thompson] at the Jefferson Airplane show. When Johnny Depp, as Thompson, sees the real Thompson, Depps narration says “There I was . . . mother of God, there I am!”

Plot Outline: A biographical portrait of a pre-fame Jane Austen and her romance with a young Irishman.
Plot: The year is 1795 and young Jane Austen is a feisty 20-year-old and emerging writer who already sees a world beyond class and commerce, beyond pride and prejudice, and dreams of doing what was then nearly unthinkable – marrying for love. Naturally, her parents are searching for a wealthy, well-appointed husband to assure their daughters future social standing. They are eyeing Mr. Wisley, nephew to the very formidable, not to mention very rich, local aristocrat Lady Gresham, as a prospective match. But when Jane meets the roguish and decidedly non-aristocratic Tom Lefroy, sparks soon fly along with the sharp repartee. His intellect and arrogance raise her ire – then knock her head over heels. Now, the couple, whose flirtation flies in the face of the sense and sensibility of the age, is faced with a terrible dilemma. If they attempt to marry, they will risk everything that matters – family, friends and fortune.

Plot Outline: Based on writer Susanna Kaysens account of her 18-month stay at a mental hospital in the 1960s.
Plot: Susanna is rushed to the hospital. Afterwards she discusses this with a psychiatrist. She had been having some delusions. She had also been having an affair with the husband of her parents friend. The doctor suggests that combining a bottle of aspirin and a bottle of vodka was a suicide attempt. This she denies. He recommends a short period of rest at Claymoore. Claymoore is a private mental hospital full of noisy, crazy people. Georgina is a pathological liar. Polly has been badly scarred by fire. Daisy wont eat in the presence of other people. Lisa is a sociopath, the biggest exasperation for the staff – like Nurse Valerie – and the biggest influence on the other girls in the hospital. Lisa has a history of escapes, so gaining access to personal medical files is not a problem… Susannas boyfriend Toby is concerned that she seems too comfortable living with her institutionalized friends…

Crazy Credits: We know about 3 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
While this Picture is based upon the book “Bully: A True Story of High School Revenge” written by Jim Schutze, some of the characters and persons have been composited, invented and recreated and a number of incidents have been fictionalized, emphasized and exaggerated for dramatic effect.

Goofs: We know about 18 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Anachronisms: The girls in the hospital are shown watching The Wizard of Oz (1939) during the daytime. In the sixties the “Wizard of Oz” was only broadcast once a year around Easter and only during the evening. Since this movie takes place before the availability of the VCR theres no way they could have been watching this movie during the day.
