Re: Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas

to be honest, the first time I watched it, I wasn't impressed either... but "The Big Lebowski" has a way of growing on you...give it another chance down the road.

^ what florida said.

Couldn't make it to the end of Lebowski...found it too boring! Will have to catch fear and loathing soon...

it's understandable that since these two films are both cult classics, they're usually hard for foreigners to appreciate. just saying.

Re: Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas

I saw this movie last weekend for the first time after many years and it's still awesome.

"We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, 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 locked into 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."

Oh boy!

Totally agree with this.. Watched this for the first time last year and I found it to be very random and with really no plot whatsoever.. Specific parts to it were hilarious but as a whole I was left with this "wtf did I just watch" feeling lol.

Lebowski is still one of my favorite films to this day since I first saw it back in high school, Bridges just plays that part way too well.

This I may give Fesr and Loathing another chance one of these days tho.

Unfortunately that was my reaction to the Rum Diary, I thought it was worse than Fear and Loathing.

The Rum Diary was a snoozefest to the 159th power. Suck.
