Ahhhhhh, Fear and Loathing. Absolute masterpiece. Without a doubt the finest work of everyone with a major role. Even now, ten years later, every part Depp plays seems to drip a bit of Thompson. The quotes stick in the mind and the cinematography simulates the Trip experience as near as a film can. I recommend everyone here read Hunter Thompson, whom I view as the last free man in Amerika.

I love anything by Hunter S thompson.
My suggestion is read the book if you liked the flick!
There's nothing more helpless and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge.

!funkybassface!

one of my favs, catch something new every time i watch it.
the book is fabulous too!

I havn't seen the movie but the book is BRILLIANT.... I mean really, after reading, "We were somewhere around Barstow when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like, " I feel abit lightheaded, maybe you should drive.." how can you not keep reading?

It really is awesome, I definitly recommend everyone check out the book! And theres alot of really fascinating biographies about Thompson too...I actually read in one of them that He was mad about the movie, they didnt do it the way he wanted or something, so Im going to have to check it out! But read the book!

Tuesday December 18, 2007 - 11:55 AM

fucking brilliant.

i love Johnny Depp. love

What The Hell Is Wrong With You People, This Is One Of The Best Movies ( not just the best drug movie ) off all times, You Gotta Give Hunter S Thompson Mad Props For This Shit

Awesome movie.

I love this movie, it's in my all time top 3 favorites. What more can I say. After being in highschool and going through all sorts of crap though I can't watch it. It literally makes me almost vomit watching it for some messed up reason. I'm almost ashamed to admit I've never read the book, I'll have to one of these days.

30 minutes before you turn into a wild animal or something!

(see where the buffalo roam. bill murray is hunter s. thompson.)

Monday April 16, 2007 - 4:26 AM

DarthHoodin

watch it again, and it's really not that good. Loved it years ago, got really bored when I watched it a few weeks ago...

It just doesn't have the impact as a movie as it did when I first saw it.

The book, however, is timeless.

I love seeing Hunter's works up here next to everytime i'm online smile puts me in a great mood, it does smile what would this world be wihout Gonzo????

Saturday April 14, 2007 - 6:12 PM

bangel

most def 5star The only complaint I have is that no matter how many times I watch fear n loathing, I don't remember it. All references to and for the duration of, I just have this odd sense of deja vu. I really must try watching it sober sometime... =P

Friday April 13, 2007 - 7:05 PM

THIS MOVIE IS SO FUCKING AMAZING>.<


^_^ YAYY EVERY TIME I WATCH IT IM SO HIGH:]

Friday April 13, 2007 - 5:18 PM

_paccocaine_

"We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world
more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and i knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon."

This movie rules........"Were in bat country man"

Friday April 13, 2007 - 7:27 AM

Hool-ee

No footing in this muck at all!!!!

The following is my favorite excerpt from the movie!!!

Strange memories on this nervous
night in Las Vegas.

Has it been five years? Six? It
seems like a lifetime -- the kind
of peak that never comes again.
San Francisco in the middle sixties
was a very special time and place
to be a part of. But no
explanation, no mix of words or
music or memories can touch that
sense of knowing that you were
there and alive in that corner of
time and the world. Whatever it
meant.

THERE WAS MADNESS IN ANY DIRECTION,
AT ANY HOUR... YOU COULD STRIKE
SPARKS ANYWHERE. THERE WAS A
FANTASTIC UNIVERSAL SENSE THAT
WHATEVER WE WERE DOING WAS RIGHT,
THAT WE WERE WINNING. AND THAT, I
THINK, WAS THE HANDLE -- THAT SENSE
OF INEVITABLE VICTORY OVER THE
FORCES OF OLD AND EVIL. NOT IN ANY
MEAN OR MILITARY SENSE; WE DIDN'T
NEED THAT. OUR ENERGY WOULD SIMPLY
prevail. We had all the momentum;
we were riding the crest of a high
and beautiful wave...

So now, less than five years later,
you can go up on a steep hill in
Las Vegas and look west, and with
the right kind of eyes you can
almost see the high water mark --
that place where the wave finally
broke and rolled back.

Definettly a Classic.... Best Trip Ever, Alongside Morrison.

Symbolizm

I LOVE THIS FILM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw it three times in the theater when I was young!
I own almost every book Hunter ever wrote!

"It was a good way to go, and I recommend it highly-at least for those who can stand the trip. And for those who can't, or won't, there is not much eles to say. Not now, and certainly not by me, or Raoul Duke either. FEAR & LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS marks the end of an era...and now, on this fantastic Indian summer morning in the Rockies, I want to leave this noisy black machine and sit naked on my porch for a while, in the sun."

I just finished an ISP on the comparison of the novel and Film and I cant get over Gonzo journalism. A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream, is engaging and i think everyone should read it or atleast see the film. GET SOME CULTURE!

Wednesday January 31, 2007 - 10:29 AM

NecroCaitlyn

i actually really like this movie, its so random, and out there that its right down my alley. but at the end it also has the little twist in it. plus all the drug humor adds to the entertainment

The movie is fucking amazing. I find myself inadvertently quoting it to this day. The book is a better legacy to Hunter S. Thompson though so if you really dig the movie read it. nuff said.

It's boring at some points.
Although it's still an awesome hilarious movie. Especially when it gets close to the ending. And there's so many memorable scenes and quotes, which often make a movie good.

After a long time of trying to actually see the whole movie (since everytime i had to leave prior to it ending frown )

Hunter S Thompson was a fucking maniac. A wicked cool fucking maniac.

All of his work is pretty fantastic, and this was no exception.

Good depiction of the book in this movie, and Depp did the job well...

If you dig Fear and Loathing, scope this:
www.imdb.com/title/tt0081748/

Bill Murray did it well too.

Thursday December 28, 2006 - 11:19 AM

Bomb movie, defenitly a favorite for sure,
i would watch it again and again easyerly for days on end.

A drug person can learn to handle such things as seeing their dead grandmother crawling up their leg with a knife in her teeth. But no one should be asked to deal with this trip.lol

Thursday December 28, 2006 - 1:29 AM

PaRtYBoI_[INC]

One of the things you learn, after years of dealing with drug people, is that you can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug. Especially when it's waving a razor-sharp hunting knife in your eyes.


grat movie!!! love Depp


Where the buffalo Roam is also a sick movie!

RelatveObsrvr

one of my favorite flicks ever. Once took 5 hits of acid with 3 frineds and watched continuosly for 5 hours. One guy thought he died and that we were aliens fucking with his soul. Then the white sox won the world series and three large men napped on a child size pull out couch. You had to be there. Then fell in love with a young Susan Sarandon (bad spelling i know). She has been following me ever since. My whole life now is a 5 degrees of Susan Sarandon bit.

Tuesday December 19, 2006 - 10:37 PM

Something I can watch over and over again. Read the book too. Too bad Thompson shot himself. I guess that's the only way I could picture him goin' out though.

about doing drugs. crazy fucked up drugs and doing whatever
in a time when no one cared!! man, 5 out of 5 stars!!

The movie was done very well, It a film where you can feel very invovled. Something you can watch a few times and never get bored because there is always something new. You could tell that they enjoyed playing the characters, the humor abeit dark - was still classic. Excellent film

"Some asshole wrote a poem about that once. Probably good advice if you've got shit for brains." - Dr. Gonzo

I saw this movie when it was in the new release section @ Blockbuster, and I didn't understand it one bit.

Then a few years later while bugging out on Acid at a friend's place, she poped it in the VCR(what's a VCR?) and I've never been the same since.

why in god's name does this movie only have 4 stars overall? who are you people? seriously? fuck. an easy 5 stars, the movie is just plain hilarious.

Mr.Me

I loved this movie when I saw it for the first time. Then the second time I saw it I thought it lost a little flavor. I didn't care for it as much. Depp was amazing in it, as he generally is in his movies. I didn't care for Benecio Del Toro in this movie when I first saw it. But after seeing him in other movies, then going back to watch it, I have a greater appreciation for him as an actor, especially in this movie. Overall, it had some pretty cool scenes, some interesting quotes, but lacking flow.
