Man this is a crazy movie. Johnny Depp at his best. The movie is almost as good as the book. You'll take a crazy ass LSD trip through Las Vegas with Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) and his 150 kg heavy lawyer Dr. Gonzo (Benicio Del Toro) in all kinds of fucked up situations. If you haven't seen the movie yet I advise you to go RENT IT NOW or even better, read the book.

One of my favorites.

Agreed! The book was great and the movie was even better! I own it on paperback, vhs and dvd now!

check out thompson's where the buffalo roam if you like fear and loathing.

I thought the movie was very disturbing as well. But funny too.

Lizard Lounge eeeek

It royally kicked ass, although I didnt realize that he really was a writer untill after (I thought he just thought he was).

I gotta say i loved the film.
Benicio del toro switches from funny and comforting to scary and threating in a second flat...he's such a good actor...
BUT not as good as Johnny Depp. He kicked ass in that film! :razz:

i'm sorry to reign on your parade but, that movie sucked. it had no point and maybe that was part of the "genius" of the movie. i own and have watched it at least 8 times trying to figure out why people like it so much. but maybe i can't relate because i don't take drugs? to each his own.
