Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
 

I have nearly finished reading the book and im obsessed with the film too

anyone else here a big fan of this story

That film has you written all over it, Dan.

yes, I have take the Gonzo approach to life in many regards.

I just started The Great Shark Hunt and I plan to re-read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas next. I haven't read that one in years, since before I saw the movie...

Obviously By God you can tell I'm a fan.

whats his other books like?
im not all that farmiliar with hunters other work

Great book, decent if overblown and tiresome film.

I have the movie but rarely watch it.

I love the book as well as the film. I've read most of f&l on the campaign trail but I didn't understand alot seen as it was way before my time.

Rum Diary is the only other one I've read and it's brilliant. It made me wanna jump on a plane and go live somewhere else. It's supposed to be released as a film next year with Johnny Depp but it will probably get delayed again. Anyway I really recommend it.

movie is one of my favourites.

i just ordered a poster of a drawing of roal duke by ralp stedman
its gonna be cool as icecream

Really! I'm a big fan of Depp and Gilliam but I can't say that F&L is one of thier better efforts. I see they are working together again on something called The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

havent read the book. but I love the film and especially the acting of depp and I forgot his name

Del Toro?

indeed

I always forgot his name
he did quite a job to gain that much weight for that film

he is such a wild man in the film

Hells Angels - analysis of societies ultimate dropouts, Hunter spent a year with them to write this.
Fear & Loathing in the Campaign Trail '72 - Hunter covers the 1972 presidential elections. Consider it the gonzo companion to Timothy Crouses serious The Boys on the Bus.

Gonzo Papers, Vol. 1: The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time

Curse of Lono - never could figure out what this was about.
The Rum Diary - The Great Gatsby in 1950s San Juan.
They're what I've read.

i want a trunk full of goods like this guys had.

oh yes for sure

dr Gonzo in movie :D
they did great duo with Depp.

The Kentucky Derby is Both Decadent and Depraved is such a brilliant piece of writing. Probably one of my favorite Gonzo pieces by him.

Indeed.

I haven't seen the movie in a few years, not since I read the book. The next time I see a copy of it I'll have to get it / rent it.
