Dood, you're way behind the crowd on that one! 
I have tried to watch it like, 4 times while on acid, but I can never get through the whole damn thing! Even sober I can never sit through it

The effects of the drugs that they take in the movie (and book) are so far off from what the actual drugs are like. I'm pretty (actually completely) sure that Hunter S. Thompson did that on purpose.

Yes, as far off as the divide between those who choose to do them and those who chose to abstain.

Meh, I wouldn't say that F&L in LV is going to give anyone who hasn't tripped an idea of what tripping is actually like. If anything it will just perpetuate false ideas that you'll be hallucinating dinosaurs and whipping yourself into a nearly homicidal frenzy...
I'd say a better movie might be A Scanner Darkly. The visuals are very reminiscent of LSD distorted perception.

I just thought it looked like a weird animation. Nothing reminiscent of LSD, at least in my opinion.

It's not so much that it's dated...
It's that every kid and his mom already knowns Fear and Loathing is "the" movie to watch while tripping. It's a very popular film.
It's not so much that it's dated or it's a shitty movie, but most everyone has already seen this movie... many times... 15 years ago... and those who havn't have at least heard the name many times.

So then you agree with the OP, great, thanks.
Agree with what?
I didn't say I like the movie... I hate it, and think the depictions are nothing like actual trips. But thats besides the point. It's still pretty much a "must see" for anyone getting into psychedelics or drugs in general... even if it really isn't that good...

Like a good book, which it quotes mightely from, you can always find new insights and enjoyments in watching it IMO. I had to double that to make it more noteworthy.

I was just pointing out that Fear and Loathing is a very popular movie, and this thread is kind of redundant which is why most of the responses have been less than positive. I put the "the" in quotation marks because I personally hate the movie but it's so popular it's seen as "the" movie for tripping.
I wasn't arguing. I just don't get why you called me out in the first place. Honestly I really don't even get what you're trying to say... you're confusing and i'm not even high.

I read the thread. I own the movie. I've seen the movie countless times over the course of like 15 years... that's what makes it redundant.
You must have taken some good stuff man...
