[yoda]

ive never read fear and loathing, nor seen the movie. im interested in both. i just want to know, should i read the book first, or watch the movie?

i also finally finished watching requiem for a dream. saw half of it nearly a year ago, my bro bought the dvd the other day, i faced a blunt then watched it. amazing.

I saw the movie before reading the book, and it was all good. Either way I think will work fine.

Watch the movie first.
If you read the book first, you'll always feel dissapointed by the film, or spend too much time noticing the differences.
At least that's how i've always felt.
Intense film though.

movie---->book

movie is good lol where he goes, is this not a reasonable place to park and hes parked on the red carpet in the rope barrier thing lol

Book then movie.... The directors actually did a pretty damn good job
at bringing the book to vision though, so I guess either way would be
fine.

Where the Buffalo Roam is another good movie based on Hunter S. Thompson
Hunter is played by Bill Murray.

Fear and Loathing is great in both movie and book but you should probably watch the movie first without reading the book so its more of a surprise.
