I read the book before I watched the movie and I think it made the movie just that much better. This is one of my favorite movies to watch baked. If you haven't seen it, you should. For those who have... Gonzo: Jesus! Did you see what GOD just did to us man? -- Duke: Look, there's two women fucking a polar bear! Gonzo: Don't tell me these things. Not now man. -- Gonzo: (to waitress) Did they pay you to screw that bear? -- Gonzo: (after duke pushes him off bar at circus casino) You see that?! Some son of a bitch just kicked me in the back! -- Duke: There's a uhh.. big machine in the sky. Some kind of electric snake.. coming straight at us. Gonzo: Shoot it Duke: Not yet. I want to study its habits. -- What are some of your favorite lines/scenes?
Raoul Duke: One of the things you learn from 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 eye. ------------------ Raoul Duke: There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. -------------------- Raoul Duke: We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, 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 locked 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. --------------------------------- Raoul Duke: You better take care of me, Lord. If you don't you're gonna have me on your hands. -------------------------------- Dr. Gonzo: Are you ready for that? Checking into a Vegas hotel under a phony name with intent to commit capital fraud and a head full of acid? I sure hope so. ------------------------ And of course: Raoul Duke: We cant stop here this is bat country!
Fear and Loathing was alright. I thought Where the Buffalo Roam was much better. Bill Murray and Peter Boyle! Anyone see the BBC documentary they included with the Fear and Loathing Criterion release? It's about Hunter driving from Las Vegas to Los Angeles to sign off on the rights to Where the Buffalo Roam and meet Bill Murray. It is amazing.
Who are these people? These faces? Where did they come from? They look like caricatures of used car dealers from Dallas, and sweet Jesus, there are a hell of a lot of them at 4:30 on a Sunday morning.
"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhh dont put that thing on me aaahhhhh aaahhhhhh aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!" "Whoooo...well...that's that." lol I pissed myself at that part..to be a little bit more exact its the part right when Johnny Depp takes the Adrenachrome or whatever and the chick he had in the last hotel was calling his attorney
hah shit never watched this movies on boomers, it's trippy enough, though I've seen it so many times I think it's time to kick it up a notch.
