Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - What's the board's review?

It all looked like a weird trip.

Dig into it and this will make a lot more sense.

Pretty boring. The only people who like it are druggies.

It’s a fun movie if you like drugs

Hunter S Thompson was an interesting cat

Cracks me up everytime

I'm not trying to be a dick but you never even heard of this movie until listening to Alex Jones and Joe Rogan today?

Serious question, no troll, and it's none of my business, but how old are you, and where are you from?

Have you ever heard of "Hunter S Thompson" ?

i'll be 30 this year and i'm from alabama

i've never done drugs. not even weed.

for the record, jones referenced the adrenochrome scene and mentions how it's harvested from kids or some shite.

The guy had writing chops. Let’s not act like drugs are the only reason he’s celebrated.

confused as to what the actual plot was about.

Fear and Loathing is one of my favorite movies, i love it, seen it a million times, and i would still struggle to describe it's plot.

its much more about the writing, the performances, and the situations.

"We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold."

I watched it many years ago, maybe around 2003, for the first time ever when a friend told me to watch it. They recommended it because it was probably the first time a movie got the accurate depiction of what it feels like to do acid, mescaline, pot, cocaine, ether, and amyls.
