Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream is a novel by Hunter S. Thompson, illustrated by Ralph Steadman. The book is a roman à clef, rooted in autobiographical incidents. The story follows its protagonist, Raoul Duke, and his attorney, Dr. Gonzo, as they descend on Las Vegas to chase the American Dream through a drug-induced haze. The novel first appeared as a two-part series in Rolling Stone magazine in 1971, was printed as a book in 1972, and was later adapted into a film of the same name in 1998 starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro.
I just saw this movie last week and it tripp'd me the ******** out!! 3nodding I think that Jonny Depp played this part good. I could't stop laughing when they were all on ether or the other bunch of drugs they were on =3
I rate this movie 5/5
The drugs they do:
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....
Quart of tequila
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."
