Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
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

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…

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…
