fear and loathing in las vegas

fucking awesome movie, in which raoul duke (johnny depp) and his samoan attourney (benico del toro) travel to las vegas to film the mint 400. it takes place circa 1971, and shows the nation's mourning of the loss of the 60s era, but also the sheer experimentation and ruthlesness of the next. however, their "mission" turns into a massive drug binge, a crazy adventure where they end up "living the savage american dream." fucking classic. with cameos by cameron diaz, christina ricci, toby mcguire, etc. based on the book by hunter s. thompson. buy the dvd. watch it. tell your friends to buy it. then watch it again.

he was not made for reproduction. too weird to live, too rare to die.

(duke, referring to dr. gonzo)


as your attourney, i advise you to take a hit from the little brown bottle in my shaving kit. you won't need much.

(dr. gonzo to duke)

the possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real. there is no sympathy for the devil. keep that in mind. buy the ticket, take the ride.
