Film review
A movie critic's fear of escapist entertainment isn't always justified, but Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a unique, eerie film that is a satisfying blend of dark humor, substance, and production design. While the film's filmmaking techniques are a little offbeat and the dialogue isn't always grammatically correct, the overall impression of the movie is a good one, and it's a worthwhile purchase for the whole family.
Johnny Depp vs Benicio Del Toro
After their successful collaboration in the 2004 film Pirates of the Caribbean, Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro are teaming up for another project. They'll reunite to star in an adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's semi-autobiographical novel The Rum Diary. The Rum Diary follows a wannabe New York writer's escapades in Puerto Rico, where he battles the bottle and runs into locals. Johnny Depp will reprise his role as the rogue casino owner in this film, while Del Toro will be juggling directing duties and supporting roles.
Psychedelic rock genres
Psychedelic rock is a genre of rock music that originated during the mid-1960s among British and American musicians. The genre involves music that invokes the three core effects of LSD, while simultaneously incorporating novelty studio tricks, unconventional instrumentation, and disjunctive song structures. Some of the genre's early music features Indian classical influences. Psychedelic rock is split into two main categories, British and American. British psychedelic rock is more surreal and progressive while American acid rock is more hard-core and aggressive.
Hunter S. Thompson
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a novel by American writer Hunter S. Thompson that chronicles his experiences in Las Vegas. This novel is written in a gonzo style of journalism, and is based on autobiographical incidents. In fact, fear and loathing was Thompson's first published work, and he says that he was inspired to write it after an experience he had in the city.
Raoul Duke vs Dr Gonzo
The film is set in Las Vegas where two journalists are assigned to cover the Mint 400 motorcycle race. Gonzo and Duke arrive in a red convertible carrying copious amounts of contraband, but Duke begins to get nervous about the assignment and panics, assuming Lacerda is on board. In reality, Duke has already checked into the Flamingo, but he's still unable to attend the seminar.
