Fear and Loathing

hey

[shadowfox]

Its a deff cool movie. I watched it last night. Johnny Depp is an awesome actor

Yup, Benicio Del Toro was great too. It's too bad that just bc the movie involved drugs, Hollywood refused to acknowledge the movie. It got bad reviews and everything.

Anyway, I love the movie, as well as the book. I like them both equally. A lot of ppl hate on the movie bc they say that it's not exactly like the book.

yeah i read the book 3 or 4 times before the movie was finally made. funny how you show yourself the visuals or u see it as you read. bit like lord of the rings too.

so who likes fear and loathing in las vegas? that movie made me laugh like crazy when i saw it!
i am still struggling to understand how some people cannot appreciate it, so if you dont like it clue me in? yay thnx

Ya really ought to read the book, though. Especially the part where the attorney is doing the technicolor yawn down the side of the big white caddy -- the great white shark, as HST calls it -- while Raoul Duke blithely keeps some visitors to the national anti-drug convention from getting into the turn-around lane to go to their casino. Heh.

I once went to see HST speak at a movie theater near Boston. He came in and sat down at a table on the stage, opened a bottle of Wild Turkey, lit a cigarette, and then called for questions. Yeah, he got paid for that ... but what I thought was cool was that this woman in the audience asked him, "How come you get to smoke, and we don't?".

"I dunno," he replied. "Come up here and smoke, f'cripesakes!". So she walked up on stage, found a chair, sat down at the table, and just smoked through the whole show.

He offered her some WT, but she declined. "Awright, suit yerself," he slurred.

Hunter S. Thompson is fucking great, anyone who likes F&L should read "Hunter:The Strange and Savage Life of Hunter S. Thompson" by E. Jean Carroll. It offers a lot of insight on HST and has a bunch of great stories, and I have a sneaking suspicion it was written by HST himself under a pseudonym, the writing style is very similar.

I just smoked some Thunderfuck and feel like sharing, sorry about the long post in advance

Ch.1, pg 1

I have heard the biographers of Harry S. Truman, Catherine the Great, etc., etc., say that they would give anything if their subjects were alive so they could ask them some questions. I, on the other hand, would give anything if my subject were dead.
