View Full Version : Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
3 Sheets To The Wind

I recorded it (courtesy of Sky+) and watched it this morning, smoked 4 bowls throughout the film's duration.
Let me start off by saying I thoroughly enjoyed it, and am now about to ask for it on Dvd for Christmas :D
I am telling you this because I want you to answer something for me.
What is that small package thing they break open (I can't remember Johnny or Benecio's characters names lol) and sniff, that gets them really fucked up? It kind of looks like powder to me.. I was thinking mescaline, but then thought against it, someone like to confirm this for me?
Anyway, I'm glad I saw it was on tv, and glad that many of you on here have posted about the film and rated it so highly.
:thumbsup:

this movie always reminds me of my highschools senior class trip to canada..
unsupervised upper middle class kids + a hotel in canada that just didn't give a fuck + access to three strippers who supplied mass quantities of drugs to about one hundred of us = one hell of a good time :D :smokin:

I thought it was Cocaine but then don't they spill all the coke in the car in the beginning? < Spoiler

The 1st time I saw fear and loathing - I didnt like it, but maybe its one of those movies you need to watch twice so I will give it another go before I make up my mind. I dont see how I cant like a drug-themed movie..... :confused:

ENJOYED IT?
FaLiLV is my fucking bible dude, it's like a friggen car or something driving and you have to have the steering wheel, I have to have this movie. Possibly one of Jonny Depps GREATEST acting positions.

Yes, I enjoy that movie, and after seeing it so many times throughout the years, I watched it last week and I still laugh my ass when I watch it. So yes, I quite enjoy that movie.
If you ask me, Johnny Depp got that role down perfect! After seeing Depp, then watching Hunter, the only diff. I could find between them was the age.
itll wear off
that films a fucked up spin out

It was a small white capsule/small package and they broke it in half, put it under one nostril and snorted it. It wasn't coke as it made them like just go.. lol.
Kinda like the effects Raoul got from the pure human adrenaline the doc had lol :p
Also it wasn't amyl nitrate (poppers) as that's a liquid, in a bottle, and it doesn't kick your ass like that stuff looks like, llol.

thats how they did coke in the movie. it was in little coin wrapper like package so they idnt have to do lines or pur it on a spoon or anything like that. so it is coke. final answer.

Oh ok, well it makes Benicio Del Toro kind of pass out when he has a sniff in the car, also when under the influence of it, they snort coke off a knife, so they wouldn't take coke 2 different ways I wouldn't have thought.
Great film anyway :D

Heroin?
Might be!
Or just some drug like 2C-B and 2C-I and shit, all those type of things, but powder form :D
Obviously not either of those, as they are like acid I hear, and wouldn't make them react straight away :p

I was thinking that, but it maked Benecio pass out and Raoul like get fucked and fall backwards, and also they snort some coke off a knife just after sniffing that package at one point, so I wouldn't have thought they'd take coke twice in different ways, and also I don't think they would react quite like that to charlie :p

the thing that they crack open is not cocaine, this is one of those sticks you break open to revive someone when they've passed out, it comes in most first aid kits.. i;ve done this and gotten fuctup a few times, , its pretty heavy.. and its not ether and im not sure of the name, prbly very unsafe
you're refering to the scene when they're still in the desert with the hitchhiker and Raoul Duke replies: "and now for the Dr."

It is actually the concentrated form of Amyl-Nitrate, it's much better but i can't remember the name of it for shit, but that's what it is. I also love the fact they have ether in that film..
My mate's got the front cover with all the bats and the warped helmet tattooed on his arm, trippy.

i first saw it when i was younger and didnt like it cuz i didnt know those things at the time but now that i do, that chuffin movie is great.
Dr. Gonzo: As your attorney, I advise you to take a hit out of the little brown flask in my shaving kit.
Raoul Duke: Look, there's two women fucking a polar bear!
Dr. Gonzo: Don't say shit like that to me man

Those things are Amyls. And yeah, that dude above got it right. I really wanna try them, they sound like a blast.
But yeah, has anybody read the book? It's superific. And since it's a movie made from the book, there's quite a few scenes they left out.
For instance, at the end. Raoul gets on a plane and zonks out, waking up while landing in Denver. He then fakes a prescription for Amyls at an airport first aid booth.
But the reason I like the book most of all, is the diner scene. I FUCKING HATE that scene in the movie. It always fucks up my high and makes feel bad. And kinda scared. Ugh.
But's it's different in the book. Actually, not really. But I kind of like it. I remember reading it for the first time just DREADING it, and knowing it was coming up. But it's a lot easier to appreciate the humor. So, pretty much for that reason I love the book more.

12-03-2005, 03:16 AM
Oh shit, and whilst we're discussing Dr. Thompson, if you ever find Screwjack in a bookstore, FUCKING BUY IT!
It's just three short stories. Not like fiction, but, you know, Gonzo stories. It's easily my favorite work of his.
And, in the beginning, there's a note from him to the editor, telling him what order to put the stories in, and he nailed it. If they were in a different order, it wouldn't have had nearly the same effect.
GO BUY IT! Or, steal it. It's pretty small, it'd be pretty easy.

LMFAO!!! :D:D:D:D:D That movie is the fucking best:D Yah, johnny depp was really fucking good in that movie. I love it, havnt yet had the pleasure to watch it stoned yet:dance: Yah, chakruh, hes got it right pretty much. I dont know what Amyls are, maybe the name for them, not common name. They are called smelling salts. Thats why when Dr.Gonzo is freakin out, like fuck, he breaks it open and lets him smell it, then Raol Duke takes a big wiff, lmfao:D. Its for like when people are passed out and other shit, really strong. :D :D :D :dance: GREAT MOVIE

Human adrenaline, buddy wants some! I think the stuff the crack open is a form of smelling salts used when someone passes out. Dang can anyone tell actually how many different drugs they take? What a road trip!

No worries dude, you can get it from USA amazon fairly easily, thats what I did alon with Gremlins 1 n 2 as the UK ones don't have v good extras. Just make sure your DVD player can play R1 discs, as the gremlins movies played even on my ps2 but for Fear and Loathing had to use my "spare" dvd player! Doctors used to use poppers to treat angina and I remember reading that marriage counsellors used to use MDMA in sessions to promote closeness n honesty :)

Negative - â?¦I just want to comment on how much this series has negatively affected my child. I let my son read the first book and took him to the movie. I didn't much care for the movie but didn't realize how much it made my son want to be a wizard. He started carrying around a stick and trying to cast spells on things. I thought, 'oh this is just a phase. He'll grow out of it.' Then he tried to fly with my broomâ?¦off the roof of our house. He broke both of his legs because he is possessed by this book. I haven't let him read or view any of the other ones, and I won't but he is clearly possessed because he keeps asking me if he can ,and he still wants to be a wizard, and he doesn't want to go to church anymore.â?¦

HAH fucking Christians! maybe if you didn't shelter your goddamn child so much he wouldn't be so fucked up in the head. some people just like to blame anything but themselves. and I'm sorry but ADHD and other child disorders are BULLSHIT. its all because of faulty parental role models. so suck it you bible thumping cocksuckers ITS YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT....
sorry if i offended any bible thumping cocksuckers with that last paragraph.
also i will bet money that its amyl nitrate, because in the beginning when hes listing the drugs that he has, he says amyls and that's the only drug that they didn't clearly use later on.
