Fear and Loathing

Ever fast forward jumped through a movie and found it not worth a watch? Nothing to really grab your attention as you click randomly on the slider below the Media Player. Nothing particularly interesting about it. And then suddenly you find someone who is a real fan of that film. Curiosity strikes and you decide to give it a go. The movie grabs you at the first line and by the end of it, you are a fan of that movie.
Well, just saw a movie like that this week. Its called "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"

Narrator: We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like:
Raoul Duke: I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive.
Narrator: Suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us, and the sky was full with what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, and a voice was screaming:
Raoul Duke: Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?!
Acosta: Did you say something?
Raoul Duke: Hm? Nevermind. It's your turn to drive.
Narrator: No point in mentioning these bats, I thought. Poor bastard will see them soon enough.

The search for the "American Dream". My respect for Depp is even deeper now. Clearly he is a class of his own. And Benico Del Toro ...
"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die"
Have a great watch.
