god, i LOVE that movie, it just has so many great moments "a drug person can learn to cope with seeing their dead grandmother crawling up their leg with a knife in her teeth, but no one should be asked to handle THIS trip" lol. i just love the way Depp plays that part. the book is even better, but in some respects it is more and less confusing.
Oh, and i watch everything with captions, it's just worth it.

I love the movie... I've watched it a 1000 times over and never get sick of it. BUT, I just can't watch it on shrooms or acid. Just has way to many negative connotations in it for me to enjoy while tripping. I start to feel dirty and feel really negative. The movie just turns me on to a completly bad trip everytime.

I dont really like it cause its nothing very intelligent. Might sound a bit dumb, but they dont do anything but consume drugs. I tend to get a bit weary halfway through.

My last mush trip I was having wierd hallucinations exactly like some in that movie...images, film clips from the TV being projected onto a blank wall in front of me...it was intense, great film if you ask me! I watched it while coming down on my first experience ever also...that movie and I go way back, hahaha, its great!

Its a pretty good movie, but it does get tiresome after a while. As always, the book is much better. It can be a downer so i'd recomend watching about 10 min of it before you trip to get a feel for it and see if you think you'd be cool watching it tripping. For me, i get a kick out of anything on tv while shrooming. Infomercials are a riot. "trippy" movies are better on acid - comedies are where its at when shrooming IMO.

Infomercials are too intense. I get way to into that shit. Thats one reason why I dont watch the TV while tripping.
I have even cried while watching the spanish channel. I was just way to into it. It was like I was totally tuning into their culture.
Ive never watched a movie while tripping. Maybe I'll try it one day just to say I did. I try and stay away from to much media while tripping with the exception of music.

The movie is pretty cool and almost an identicle visuial representation of the book. With very little missed out, except for the airport bit at the end.
I mean there is things that are metioned in the book, which isnt realy made to obvios in the film but they are still there in the background hidden away almost like an easter egg. Although wathching the film on psychedelics does seem to show some type of unrealism to it.
Just wished there was a fear and loathing 2 even if it was just the book.

If you like Thompson's work I highly reccomend his "Gonzo Papers vol. III" and "Hell's Angels."
Very political, too, especially the former.

I liked it. You won't understand the movie unless you read the book. Awsome book. Watch the movie while stoned unless you got a lot of patience. It kinda goes along slow... You'll see what I mean.
If you do drugs or have an interest in drugs then this movie is a must see.

About a year ago I met the lawyer whom the character of Dr. Gonzo is based on... needless to say, he was a really cool guy. He's a professor at a major university and i think is also judge. I happened to be lucky enough to sit in on his class when he told the story about Fear and Loathing and his relationship to Hunter S Thompson. A real treat that was unexpected as I was just visiting my cousin who is an actual student at the school.

Fear & Loathing is very awesome.
You can start watching it anywheres... it's just two guys in the midst of insanity. I mean even if you watch it from the beginning, you still barely know why the fuck they are doing what they're doing next, bwaha...

I've watched this movie many times, and it remains one of my all time favorites... not only for the acting and content but the directing. I'm also a big fan of Terry Gilliam, and I think Fear and Loathing is one of his best films. The cinematography is simply amazing...

Fear and Loathing is a great movie to watch, but i have never watched it while tripping, i allways whent for the yellow submarine or other cartoon movies. Howerver Fear and Loathing still remains my favorite movie, and book. I also recomend 'Kingdom of Fear' its the newest book by hunter thompson and it has some great stories in it.

The book was excellent. The movie sucks.
I enjoyed them both. I have watched the movie and followed along in the book... until the end of the book/movie, they follow each other pretty well. The first twenty minutes of the movie match the book almost word for word.

the song was 'sergeant peppers lonley hearts club band' by the Beatles. However, they have some weird instrumental version of it in the movie, not sure if you will be able to find it for download, but the original version is good too. I think if you look in the book it actually tells you that was the song she was performing too before they were kicked out. Great stuff.
