Read the book after you watch the movie.
I personally liked the book better.
They're making an On the Road movie, i will actually go see that.
i only ever got halfway through on the road, btu i found my copy earlier this week so i'll restart/read the whole thing soon
 
IMO the Fear and Loathing movie is HORRIBLE. Could hardly make it through the whole thing. It is one of my favorite books and they definitely did not do it any justice.
 
Well, as I haven't read the book, I will solely be judging its merits as a film (it can be a bad adaptation and still a good film). Also, I've been drinking since like 1:30pm, heh.

So should I see it drunk (and throw in some jwh) or drunk/tripping (and throw in some jwh, the psych would be 2c-e, which is enjoyable 100% of the time for me)? Answer in the next 45 min and I will take your opinion in consideration. I could throw in some 4-meo-pcp but I did that twice this month already, and the second time lead to a resurgence in my colon inflammation (and ended in the vomiting of bile)....

Story time: so the night before I left for SD (I had the person loaning me the money wait until then to give it to me so I wouldn't go spend it all on drugs) I ended up driving around the hood in the middle of the night but couldn't find my H getting alley (people work it all day and night, you just have to wake them up), which kind of sucked but was lucky as well. I dunno, the stuff makes me happy and gets rid of the loneliness in a way that I've never experienced in life, but on the other hand doing it twice led to me thinking about it 24/7 for at least a week. It's like, I know it will ruin my life, but I still wanna seek it out because I want to be happy. Bleh, opiates, a bunch of you guys know what I mean .

That movie is trippy as shit, if you want to really EXPERIENCE the movie do the 4-meo-pcp and the 2c-e lol
Never done 2C-E or 4-meo but im guessing with the PCP you wouldnt really be able to follow the movie

I watched it on acid and the scene in the beginning where he looks out at the room and its full of reptiles and lizards and shit, holy fuck probably the most intense shit Ive ever seen in a movie, almost had to stop the movie but the scene ended pretty quickly
 
I enjoyed the movie. Yeah its not top-notch cinema, but for gods sake its a drug-induced paranoid bender movie! Its pretty damn goofy and all-around entertaining. The book was good, but I also don't get why people think its so amazing, it was good, but not deep or really insightful.

Still, both are fun.

I haven't taken any drugs besides alcohol and some herbals (non-weed) in a long time (weeks for weed, months for stuff like LSD or MDMA). Gonna take some molly this coming weekend at a show and I am looking forward to it :). Might take a low dose LSD with it too.

Edit: oh, wait, I did go through a pack and a half of nitrous cartriges over the last two weeks. Good times that I forgot about. Lol.

Also: yeah, the movie is a trip, and has a very hard to follow plot if you are fucked up. Good luck.
 
ok i just wanna say...

i love it that the PD forum always has the most people viewing threads than any of the other focus forums. (well, aside from "other drugs" but since that encompasses sooo many things i think that makes it an obvious exception :b)

psychonauts ftw :D
 
i didnt really like fear and loathing the movie. it seemed to try to hard to be really trippy, and im not a huge fan of that kind of thing, neither in the movies, nor in music. its an ok movie, but not something that id deem a must see. but im partial to not watching tv during tripping anyway.... the book was also ok, more funny than insightful.

^ Thinking about going to Netherlands this year. Do they still sell Cannabis to foreigners? :)
Click to expand...

Yes, they still sell to foreigners. :)
The whole place was a bit of a madhouse when I was there(middle of tourist season). Almost no room to walk the streets, and the place is pretty cramped as it is.
People were literally passing out in the coffeshops from smoking too much weed. Smoked some really nice, spicy sativa weed, and tried some water sifted hash which was also nice. You can also find salvia extracts, ayahuasca, and sclerotia truffles in the smartshops. :)
 
re: F&L: I'd agree the book isn't especially "deep" but it's definitely very intelligent (I wouldn't call much of HST's writing deep, but I think he acknowledges the superficiality of it as a reflection of the culture he's writing about, and does so with a lot of humor and wit). The movie to me felt like a series of 'psychedelic cliches' geared more towards 16-year-olds, without any of the subtlety that made the book great. Just really didn't like the style of it.
 
Just stumbled upon a quantitiy of aMT, and I took 10mg to asses it last night. Didn't feel to much different even after vaping 2:45 minutes into it. I'll be taking 30mg tonight to see if I can get a reaction. I'll post back :)
By the way, does anyone take aMT at raves? If so, what is your experience with it. Like dosing, danceability, etc.
 
Man, the site is more inaccessible now than before the upgrade, I've been trying to get on all day and just managed to now.

Also, I quite enjoyed the movie, it was delightful and captured the mood of the subject matter quite wonderfully. If they actually let you walk about whilst that fucked up in vegas (which I doubt they'd do these days), I wouldn't mind emulating it.

Oh, and I faxed in the paperwork for the paperwork for my monies today, so here's to hoping all goes well and smoothly. I've been thinking I should scram as soon as I get my hands on it, preferably before I pay back the money I borrowed for my SD vacation, but after if need be, and get mah one way plane ticket. I'll have enough to get by for a few days, then I can try my hand at homelessness or die, depending on my mood. But who knows, maybe circumstances will change in the meantime. I hope not, because I feel like I left something important behind when I came back here and I'd like to go look for it.
 
where you gonna fly to never?
i hope you find what you're lookin for diggity, srs/
youre a mad cool diggy dog
