I'm reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas right now. It's a chase of the "american dream" haha, to get money of course, and to experience a ton of drugs. Mescaline, acid, ether, pot, cocaine, you name it, on a trip from california to las vegas.
Hah yeah, that's an awesome movie. Johnny Depp does an amzing job potraying Hunter S. Thompson. It's based on Hunter's book "Fear and Loathing". The book has a slightly different story, and I suggest you check that out too.
Depp actually followed Hunter around for like 6 months to get his character down...and he did do quite a good job. the book is deffinatly a good read too
ya the book is great.. the movies great.. so is where the bufallo roam.. (i dont think its as good) bill murray is the shit lol
1. im not sure thats the american dream thompson was looking for. 2. the actuall american dream they find is a sleezy hotel where dope dealers hang out. 3. has anybody heard of the RUM diary's movie? i have heard from somewhere that Depp is supposed to star in that as well, when it comes out. i havent heard anything else about it. (i cant wait to see Depp play willy wonka!!)
Love the movie, love the book. Yeh ive heard of the rum diaries. its a kind of sequel to fear and loathing with depp, benicio del toro and josh hartnett as the lead roles. im excited, i think it'll be good. hopefully as good as fear and loathing.
i read some of the rum diaries and wasnt really interested, well not likei was in fear and loathing. so i wanna see how they make it into a movie, the directing will be really important to the film, do you know the director by any chance?
Yeah I heard that its confirmed that johnny depp will be in the rum diary, and josh hartnett will be in it too
yes you must watch this video after you finish the book its a great story of our time or better yet his experiences crazy to meditate on your imagination of how things looked and the directors of the movie
no its more of a prequel than anything else. depp is playing it but theres not really any drug use from what ive heard. but hunter is interesting enough to me where you don't need em to enjoy his movie
Whatever all you noobies. Depp plays Raoul Duke, not Hunter S. Thompson. If you really want to see what Hunter S. Thompson is like, either buy the official documentary = www.breakfastwithhunter.com Or rent Where the Buffalo Roam, where Bill Murray plays Hunter S. Thompson, he does a great job I may say as well.
one of the best fucking drug movies i have ever seen. depp's dona a fuckin awesome job n the amount of drugs they consume, it's not funny. would really love to get my hands on adrenochrome, that's some wild fucking shit.
Raoul Duke is the name of a character that Hunter Thompson wrote about. Fear & Loathing is a VERY exaggerated version of something the Good Docter did. Rum Diaries is not a prequel OR sequel. It's a completely different story.Johnny Depp is playing Paul Kent or Kemp or something similar to that. I would say that Rum Diaries is more realistic if you think of it as portraying Thompson and his life. There isn't as much drug use as Fear & Loathing (if any at all but I doubt it will be cut out completely) but there is lots of drinking!! I think the only ones who will see this movie and like it are the ones who understand and appreciate gonzo journalism and Thompson's style. A lot of people like Fear & Loathing for the drug use but miss the messages that he tries to instill in people. and to the person who wants adrenochrome (sp?).. you realize someone has to be killed or commit suicide for it to be active. Even if you didn't have to see it done, would you really take a chemical that was gouged out of a persons adrenaline gland as the die?
