fear and loathing in las vegas

i own it.
johnny depp is good at drug movies.

 

absolutely love this movie.
maybe i'll watch it again tonight. i don't know.
wish i owned it!

Raoul Duke: Ignore this terrible drug. Yeah. Pretend it's not happening.
Raoul Duke: Yeah. HI THERE! My name... is, uh, Raoul Duke. I'm on the list, that's for sure. Free lunch, final wisdom, total coverage. I have my attorneyyyyyyy, with me, and I realize that his name is not on that list, but we must have that suite! Must have that suite. What's the score here? What's next?
Desk Clerk at Mint Hotel: Your suite isn't ready yet. But someone was looking for you...
Raoul Duke: [seeing her morph into an eel] Why? We haven't done anything yet!

Raoul Duke: There's a uh, big machine in the sky, some kind of, I dunno, electric snake, coming straight at us.
Dr. Gonzo: Shoot it.
Raoul Duke: Not yet, I want to study its habits.

and when they wak in on ether... just they way they're walking cracks me right up! haha.
oh god, there's so many!

this whole part, too:
Dr. Gonzo: Music, man. Put that tape on.
Raoul Duke: What tape?
Dr. Gonzo: Jefferson Airplane, "White Rabbit". I need a rising sound.
Raoul Duke: You're doomed. I'm leaving here in two hours and then they're going to come up here and beat the mortal shit out of you with big saps. Right there in that fucking tub.
Dr. Gonzo: [Splashes and screams]
Raoul Duke: Alright, I'll do it. But do me one last favor, will you. Can you give me two hours? That's all I ask man, just two hours to sleep before tomorrow. I suspect it's going to be a very difficult day.

Dr. Gonzo: Sounds like big trouble. You're going to need plenty of legal advice before this thing is over. As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top. And you'll need the cocaine. Tape recorder for special music. Acapulco shirts. Get the hell out of L.A. for at least 48 hours. Blows my weekend.
Raoul Duke: Why?
Dr. Gonzo: Because naturally I'm going to have to go with you. And we're going to have to arm ourselves... to the teeth!
Dr. Gonzo: As your attorney, I advise you to drive at top speed, it'll be a god damn miracle if we can get there before you turn into a wild animal.
Raoul Duke: [waving a flyswatter behind Gonzo's head] Pig fucker, pig fucker, pig fucker, pig fucker, pig fucker, pig fucker, pig fucker!
Dr. Gonzo: [oblivious] 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.

haha, god i'm keep editing in more and more.

 

DID YOU SEE WHAT GOD JUST DID TO US MAN?!!?

That wasn't God you idiot, it was you!


THe whole opening scene in the car is one of my favorite pieces of film ever.

 

you know what we need...we need some opium.

 

Bill Murray was better.

Go get Where The Buffalo Roam

 

Ya know, theres about 500 threads about this already in the movie section

 

yea bill murray was better. thats why slept in Thompsons basement and lived with him so he could understand his manorisms and master the role. oh wait that was depp.

are you kidding. murray didnt capture half of depps accuracy in portraying HST. and i have see Where the Buffalo roam.

 

i've never fucking seen it. time to get high and go to block buster.

 

Raoul Duke: And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of old and evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.


Raoul Duke: There was only one road back to L.A. - U.S. Interstate 15. Just a flat-out high speed burn through Baker and Barstow and Berdoo. Then onto the Hollywood Freeway, and straight on into frantic oblivion. Safety. Obscurity. Just another freak, in the freak kingdom.


Raoul Duke: What was I doing here? What was the meaning of this trip? Was I just roaming around in a drug frenzy of some kind? Or had I really come out here to Las Vegas to work on a story? Who are these people, these faces? Where do they come from? They look like caricatures of used car dealers from Dallas, and sweet Jesus, there were a hell of a lot of them at 4:30 on a Sunday morning, still humping the American dream, that vision of the big winner somehow emerging from the last minute pre-dawn chaos of a stale Vegas casino.


Raoul Duke: We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60's. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously... All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped create... a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody... or at least some force - is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.

 

Yep, thats what I saw both movies for, accuracy.

They were both funny as fuck, and WTBR is better IMO.

To quote El-Dudearino quoting TBL; "Hey man... that's just like... your opinion, man"

Edit; And Bill Murray DID know Hunter personally, from what I recall. So he didn't have a sausage fest in his basement......... OH well.

 

Damn straight.

I think the language barrier might have affected your decision making... I own both movies and have watched them countless times, Bill Murray is way better.

 

And thankyou to RoL again ^^

 

I like both, but I like Murray better. And just for correction's sake, Murray lived with him for the same reasons.

Silly teenagers and their Johnny Depp

 

i have never seen where the buffalo roam! now i need to check that out.
yay, a movie to watch someday! hah.

 

It's worth it. I watched it BEFORE I saw F'n'L... which probably made it better, not having seen the "shittier" (Dont get me wrong, I still love F'n'L) version first.

 

I just blazed a bowl and you know what? Its time to watch Where the Buffalo Roam!

 

this movie is so great. if your like me and you think back to the first time you ever saw it, and it makes you smile.. it holds a special place in your heart
