Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

[Ultra-Violence]

i saw it for the first time ever and i was under the influence of marijuana and all i have to say is that this movie was fucking a trip and awsome at the same time my favorite part had to be when they did the ether at the circus casino and they were running around in the carasol good shit
on a more deeper not i couldnt realy relate to the characters in the movie but probalby people form that time generation could i dunno

Yeah i saw it, like i dunno how many times, only once when sober. It's boring when your sober, lol :P (don't do it!).

If you like Hunter S., check out Oscar Zeta Acosta, the guy on whom Dr. Gonzo was based: His semi-autobiographical novel The Revolt of the Cockroach People is both funny and anarcho-socialist.

I've read the book but haven't seen the movie.

I love Hunter S. Thompson. He's probably the reason I started getting more into political theory since he was not afraid to show how bullshit American politics were and are. I cried a lot the day he killed himself. :crying:

Absolutely love the movie. It's good when sober, but it's brilliant when you're toasted.

The soundtrack is pretty good too.

Hunter was one of us. Only someone like us could write a book called "Better than sex: confessions of a politics junkie".
He was definitely left leaning and his writings on politics are hatefilled and brilliant. I'm now in the middle of "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72" and it's fantastic. I think it will round out every one of his books that I've read and I've enjoyed them all; even and especially when sober.

The film is hard not to like. Although watching it drunk is not recomended.
