fear and loathing

[crackjoy]

is a very good movie, but after watching it every day while baked for the past two weeks, i need something different.

any recommendations?

[ppcock]

requiem for a dream is also a classic

but another good hunter s thompson flick is Where the buffalo roam

[prodigyson]

drug movies eh?

requiem for a dream, trainspotting, acid house, so on and so forth...


btw, i want fear and loathing back from you! :finger:

[crackjoy]

u may have your fear and loathing...

if u drop all the movies u just said at my house. muaha. :c-tard:

[ppcock]

might wanna check out the criterion edition of fear and loathing

those extras sounds sweet.. but its like $40 @ chapters.

[ppcock]

and nothing beats the book fear and loathing.

[prodigyson]

unfortunatly i only have requiem for a dream...i believe that i gave trainspotting to sean last christmas...so you might find it at his house tomorrow....as for the acid house, i do not own that, but you may rent it at your friendly neighborhood rogers video store

[crackjoy]

geez, u sound like a freaking commercial.

i really want to read book fear and loathing, but i've only been able to find it costing $18. i need to get a library card or something.

[prodigyson]

i've looked for it at the semiahmoo library, but they don't have it...i think the one that does is guilford or something

[crackjoy]

fuck that. i'll just steal it from caitlins work. she wont mind, i'm sure.

as for the criterion edition fear and loathing, how is it different?

"requiem for a dream" sucks dont even bother, way to disturbing. Did you know they actually made a fear and loathing in the eighties too. It is called "Where the buffalo roam". With Bill Murray

[Miss T]

you could watch SPUN. its pretty fucked up.

[Sitting Duck]

^spun was really good

[crackjoy]

spun? what is it?

and btw, requiem for a dream rocked. in the way only a drug induced tragedy can.

[MissBehavior]

For sheer brainlessness, there's always Half Baked and How High.

And Run Lola Run is a bit of a head fuck...That would be good. Oh, and Lost Highway. I -still- don't get that movie.

[Rytalin]

cool trip movies?

apparently that's the point :)

I heard david Lynch said in an interview once that he purposely made Lost Highway just to fuck with people.

[MissBehavior]

Oh good...So it's NOT just me. =P

there are no visuals in the movie that the audience will see

And also bill murry does a horrible job portraying hunter S. thompson

Johnny depp did a great job as hunter S. in fear and loathing.

fear and loathing is sweet ass when ur fucked. As far as reccomending any other movies it really depends what mood your in. Hmmm i think ill watch lord of the rings the two towers baked today
