Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

AdventureDramaComedy

Directed by Terry Gilliam

Raoul Duke and his attorney Dr. Gonzo drive a red convertible across the Mojave desert to Las Vegas with a suitcase full of drugs to cover a motorcycle race. As their consumption of drugs increases at an alarming rate, the stoned duo trash their hotel room and fear legal repercussions. Duke begins to drive back to L.A., but after an odd run-in with a cop, he returns to Sin City and continues his wild drug binge. From TMDB

    “There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.” ― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

    Hunter S. Thompson was known for critiquing society w/ his "gonzo journalism." His 1972, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" may be my first read of 2026, or maybe my last read of 2025. #DV1

    Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) - Dir. Terry Gilliam. > An oddball journalist and his psychopathic lawyer travel to Las Vegas for a series of psychedelic escapades. I'm a big fan of the novel, and I'm always amazed how well Gilliam and co. were able to turn it into a movie.

    So its important to note that yes, while HST was the emergent leader of this approach to truth-seeking in journalism, they weren't alone in their searching. Take for example ["The revolt of the cockroach people"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Revolt_of_the_Cockroach_People), which was written at the same times as "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", but after "The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved", which I would argue was Thompson's first "full" attempt at Gonzo. So with "The revolt of…

    that's good, because I felt nothing of the mood of the novel. I did (wrongly) feel the same way when the fallout tv show didn't start with "war. war never changes". There's something that's so profoundly disappointing in the adaptation of a work that begins with an incredible line that instantly sets the mood of the work, and maybe an entire genre. With Neuromancer, you HAD TO show , not just your hand, but your entire arm in showing that your creative team can make "The sky above the port…
