Is the movie pretty accurate? I liked it a lot, never actually read anything longer than his magazine articles from Thompson though

Book and Movie are different; movie retains some semblance of the HST spirit but unpotent, uninspired, and tired. J Depp looked tired in it; his x-wife looked tired; the guy from Batman was here also, and he looked tired too. Has it moments though.

The best ones are the simple ones
Add too much to the "what I got" column and you lose the edge
You don't need to cover every aspect of the book

For me the best are the ones with a single "what I expected" and a complex "what I got"
Simple expectations vs a complicated reality. The simple all the way through ones are good when they're clever, but that's no common.

I actually really liked the cetology section. For me it really reinforced the idea that because of limited scientific knowledge and relying mostly on the tall tales of other Nantucketers hunting whales was almost like hunting dragons (thus the image in top left). The whales are borderlines mythical creatures.
The latter was a bit of a slog to get through, yeah.
