I just saw fear and loathing in las vegas for the first time

[420marijuana420]

and i have to say it was one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. I kept hoping that it would get better but it never did. Now i want to take the dvd and smash it into a million pieces and piss on it. I thought at the most it would be about some guys smoking reefer but it was really a bunch of drugged up fuck heads screwing around.

I would not recommend this movie at all. I can't see why anyone would want to watch this movie. It sucks.

[JaggedEdge]

Haha, dude that's just a little wrong.

Everyone should see it, I enjoyed it. I need to remember to buy the damn thing.

you can have my copy

[TheAtomicPunk]

The first time I watched it I was interested because I had apsolutley no idea what was going on, and I kept watching it trying to figure out the movie, and only untill the 20th time or so when I actually watched it straight did I understand it. I think it's funny and has a deep meaning behind it, the whole 'American Dream' thing, I'm still looking for the book.

[blazed620]

i liked it..i thought johnny depp was hilarious, and his acting was especially superb. The story is very hard to follow, I've heard your supposed to read the book to understand everything clearly..I still have yet to read it.

[Podge_Boro]

my mate just told me its amazin
now i wanna see it
sounds pretty good

got drugs, dont need nothin else :)

[blazed620]

this movie will blow your mind if your baked, and you will laugh uncontrollably

[Mike23artist]

I have watched it on coke weed and alcohol at different times with my friendits good but not in my top 20 though

[Podge_Boro]

my mate said its in his top 20

i aint seen it yet, will do soon tho
sounds good

[Frivolous248]

At first I was confused as hell too, but then I watched it sober and it made more sense.

It gets confusing. First time I didn't remember what they even went to vegas for, because the drugs sidetracked the story so much, but if you pay attention you will know whats going on.

Its gonzo-journalism. Thats how its supposed to be.

[RyanTheCaveman]

Yeh man i love the movie. its hard to understand while fucked up. but while sober its awesome.

[ipodguy]

it wasnt a really good movie but that movie was made by people high on every drug known to man, no joke
and have you read the book? that guy did some crazy shit

[OniEhtRedrum781]

Both the book and the movie are fuckin' brilliant. My personal fave in both categories... *points to my avatar*

[sam44]

Its a great movie. Wtf are you talking about? Do some acid, after your done tripping watch it again.

[4gan2ja0]

yeah man, its a great movie, you should read the book though, i preffered it over the movie:thumbsup:
peace:jointsmile:

[OniEhtRedrum781]

Its a great movie. Wtf are you talking about? Do some acid, after your done tripping watch it again.

word, any hallucinogen puts this whole movie in a completely different perspective...

[420marijuana420]

Its a great movie. Wtf are you talking about? Do some acid, after your done tripping watch it again.

well.............. I believe acid is harmful and I'm not gonna do it for a movie that I already hate as it is. I'll try smoking some weed and watch it again,

[potsmokingnome]

Haven't seen it yet...not sure if i want too...heard so many mixed reviews about it...will rent it one day.

[sam44]

well.............. I believe acid is harmful and I'm not gonna do it for a movie that I already hate as it is. I'll try smoking some weed and watch it again,

Well...Im not going to argue that because then this thread will most likely be nuked. :thumbsup:

[affasd]

i thought it was pretty good, over rated imo, but i haven't read the book, and i heard that its better so....

[make it legal]

well.............. I believe acid is harmful and I'm not gonna do it for a movie that I already hate as it is. I'll try smoking some weed and watch it again,

Acid's considered one of the safest drugs... Look it up on unbiased websites.

I used to think you were cool 420, Id see your posts and be like "wow what a cool person" then you start talking ill of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas AND acid (the most amazing substance on earth). Now I just dont know, I really just dont know

:jointsmile:

[ericwt]

The movie was great. But I have done a whole lot of acid in my life.

[Breukelen advocaat]

The movie was great. But I have done a whole lot of acid in my life.

The really heavy hallucinations in the film were more like synthetic mesc, which they was doing among many other things.

[ericwt]

Did I mention I grow cactus?

Oh man, I'm sorry. And who cares if you talk about acid on the thread, if it gets nuked it gets nuked, whatever.

edit: that last sentence was directed at Sam.

edit: I don't want to take lsd because of an unsafe trip, not the health affects.

[Polymirize]

This is some seriously blasphemous shit going down on cannabis.com right now...

I'd say fear and loathing makes the most sense to two select groups of people:

People who have read the book. Which is amazing. The movie tries, and comes very close to living up to the book, but falls short, as with any great novel.

and

People who have done large quantities of hallucinogens. Wheeee!
Seriously though, if you've never encountered concepts like "the fear", or self-narration, you won't enjoy the movie as much as people who have. The entire thing is made as a sort of homage to the gonzo spirit, drawing the reader, or in this case the watcher, into the story as well.

It's fucking brilliant man.

And as has already been said, it's got some amazing insights into the death of idealism as the sixties dragged into the seventies. The american dream, etc.

But I'm not going to try to convince you. Just like how I wouldn't go through the trouble to point out that even the fed's anti-drug propaganda doesn't say anything bad about lsd other than it can lead to a bad psychological experience. set and setting. it's all an experience. being scared of experiences is like being scared of life.

[JunkYard]

Are you kidding me!!??!! Fear and Loathing is one of the BEST movies ever made. You gotta watch it under some kind of influence, hint hint. ;)

Some trippy sh!t in there!! It will make your laugh your ass off, and then hit you where it hurts, lol! Send me your copy; I'd gladly take it off your hands...


Junk~

[timespaceandme]

The movie is complete bullshit. period

TITANIC MADE ME CRYYYY!!!

[Nochowderforyou]

Not a lot of people liked this movie. It was a boxoffice flop if I remeber right. :)

It's not for everyone, expecially if you're against any other drugs except cannabis, but it is one of favorite movies ever.

Probably because I used to do the LSD and blow, so I guess I can relate to the experiences they have. If you have never done those things, then you don't really get it, and yes, you find it dumb.

First time I saw it I was eating fungi, so what they were seeing and doing, I could relate making it that much more enjoyable.

[bucknuts1870]

You need mushrooms and/ or acid, dmt, dxm, etc. etc. One of my favorite movies books of all time, you just don't understand it, look deeper my son.

[chisme]

and i have to say it was one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. I kept hoping that it would get better but it never did. Now i want to take the dvd and smash it into a million pieces and piss on it.

I would not recommend this movie at all. I can't see why anyone would want to watch this movie. It sucks.

would you send it to me? i lost mine:D


if your a person whose done half or any of the drugs in the film youll like it:D

[timespaceandme]

People, dont talk about relativity and all that crap. I used to do it too, and i think thats what made me not like it, not the opposite.

The guy who wrote the book is the biggest lier ever. ITS ALL FICTION and u cant relate urself to it. WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO RELATE URSELF TO STAR WARS???!! MMMKTHXBAI??!?!?

peace...........................................11 111?

[420marijuana420]

^ lol i do that exact same thing with the ceiling fan. One time i made my whole fan dissapear, and there was this blank fan shaped spot.

that's what I don't want. It might be fun for you but not me

[Nochowderforyou]

You call him a lair and don't even know his name, wow, that fact must be true. :p

It is based on his experiences. It came from his original movie On The Campaign Trail '74. If you even saw that movie, Hunter S Thompson acts very much the same as Johnny Depp potrayed in the movie, exepct the movie in '74 was just done with home video cams., and wasn't a scripted film.

You obviously know 0% of this person and what he's about, so stop pulling facts from your ass.

I can relate to him. I did the acid, I did blow and stayed up for 5 days in a row. Maybe not to his extent, but I understand where his insanity comes from, so yes, I can relate, which makes it funny when I see someone else do that.

So...:S4:

[EbelEyes]

I love that movie! <3

erm no but i can relate to the shakes, a panic attack, giant pupils, spacy lights thinking theres a cd player halfway through a public park cos im so fucked out of my brain on many drugs, of course its fiction dumbass but we aint talking the story line were talking up close and personal with your own chattering teeth and spotty vision its like saying i can relate to smokey in friday liking to smoke weed.....im not relating to living in to the hood and getting shot at

i definatly cant relate to your "........11111?"

and the "MMMKTHBAI??!?!?"

maybee you could relate to a dictionary:thumbsup:

lol you know how many times i thought about putting that smiley in my rant? hehehehehe

[Humboldt215]

Hunter r0x!! the lead writer for the US counterculture. His book of living and almost dieing with the Hells Angels in Oakland, Calif during the mid 1960's was a great piece, including his countless other writings.

A elderly dope fiend living out in the wilderness - 1 of his descriptions about himself, truly a gifted man.

Hunter shot himself in the head a few years ago, maybe a reflection of his "Gonzo" style of journalism as he had to have it all to the extreme.

Dont go hating what you dont understand people, his books and movies and documentaries are great, just have a open mind not blocked by the idealogical stigma society puts on things or pure prejudicism.

Fear & Loathing, outstanding book, movie tried to capture it all, but did embelish some parts such as the bar scene, but all in all.. 2 thumbs up from this stoner!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

u either love it

or hate it

[silasbotwin]

I saw this movie and it changed my life.

in the good way.

[ganjah]

I really can not believe that you didn't like this movie. I have seen it once, while stoned and I completely understood everything. It is probobly the best movie I have ever seen if not, one of the top 5. I don't really want to argue why I think it is better but I am just going to say I liked it because of the randomness of it I guess. I thought the drug made something that wouldnt be ordinarily interseting (drive in a car etc). The drugs completely changed their perception of reality and showed us the other side of life. I really enjoyed it and maybe if you can't understand it stoned you should stop smoking!

I wasn't stoned and i understood it (not to give too much away): but it's just about a bunch of drugged up weirdos running around las vegas

[freewheelinfrank]

READ the book - and everything else Hunter S. Thompson wrote - truly enjoyed by we 'mutants', as Tim Leary would refer to us :hippy:

[thcbongman]

It would be a lot of fun to be that drugged up weirdo running around las vegas!

You're an idiot. OH NOES PERSONAL ATTACK!

[420marijuana420]

the guy could have pulled the script from his ass, it could be real, it could be fake or maybe a little purple monster sat on his shoulder and whispered it to him. But no matter how the script was made, that movie sucks and I'm seriously disappointed that I spent money on it. If it was a box office flip why do so many people on THESE boards like it so much? Because it's about all those drugs? If you want a good drug movie, which Johny Depp, none the less, go see blow. Now that was a good movie.

[NextLineIsMine]

If we wanted movies about thugs and shit theres no end to get. Fear and Loathing is all about the psychdelic experience, it understandably seems like illogical randomness if youve never gone on a trip, but it does an amazing job of capturing the feelings and states of mind

[timespaceandme]

If u can relate to the fucking panic attacks and all that shit ur a fucking loser, anyone can relate to shit like that. OH NO DILATED PUPILSSS OMG LOL IM RELATING MYSELF TO THE MAN IN THE MOVIE!!!!

That movie was shit. period. there are waaaaay better movies than that piece of crap.

[timespaceandme]

im glad that a person like Chrisme fucks himself on drugs and stays up for 5 days, NICE ONE MATE I HOPE U GET SOME KIND OF A MENTAL DISEASE CUZ PEOPLE LIKE YOU SHOULD GET WIPED OUT. period.

Explain the Adrenochrome then if ur such a smart ass. OOOH IM SORRY I THINK U'VE DONE IT TOO EH??? oh and im sorry, i didnt know that u know him 100%, ITS THE CALL FROM THE GRAVE!!!
And, right back at ya, anyone who likes this movie should kill themselves. PLEASE DONT CUT, FALL OFF A TALL BUILDING. HELPS OTHER PEOPLE learn about the insides.

Can we get a little moderation in here and get this guy banned or what? He's calling for the mass genocide of the enthogenic community, which I happen to be a rather proud member of, despite having to keep it hush hush around the new and improved cannabis.com.

And just for the record timeandspace... I totally fucking related to star wars. In my mind's eye, I sometimes choose to picture myself as a dashing and roguish Han Solo. Do I fly around in space? No. Do I have a walking carpet as my sidekick? No. Am I a human being in human-like situations. Yes. Why do you think people like characters at all? Because they can relate to them.

suck it.

I never did. Although I did once see 3 nuns pull up to the Citgo in a red El Dorado.

Wow, what a shitfest this thread has turned into. :p

Not everyone likes all the same movies, so how come no one can seem to grasp that clue?

I liked the movie. I thought it was hilarious.

yeah blow is good too i luv the bit when the guys testing the qaulity is like

".....i cant....feel....my face

[iPot]

I agree with that. I was sorely dissapointed. Johnny Depp is one of the most over rated actors. He has this thing about The Fast Show, its a sketch show from the 90's in the UK with 7 or so random comedy actors who came together and filmed some crazy skits. You will find plenty examples on you tube. It was very funny when it came out, and Depp became a huge fan because he loved the idea of playing really eccentric comedy characters. I see his performance in FALILV as him acting out his personal dream to be in the Fast Show, which i think he was at one point near the end of its life when it had become way formuliac and lame. I don't think he fitted the role, and his bad performance kind of ruined the whole film for me and became the focus of my attention so I can't really say otherwise if i woud have liked it. i tink I like the other guy though, he was OK.
