So I tried to watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas featuring Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro. Two great actors, which normally would be a good sign. However, this is the crappiest movie I've seen in a long, long time. It's based on a novel by some dude (can't remember who), and I think the idea is to give a portrait of a drug trip or something. But it fails. It is just plain boring to watch. It's not funny, it's not interesting and it doesn't make you think anything special about drugs/ drug abuse (good or bad). Force myself through about an hour, and then I couldn't take it any more. Two thumbs down!

Amen to that, brotha'.
I'm thinking that public showings of this movie constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. It's probably on at eight every damn day at Gitmo
You've seen it? If so, what was the point/ storyline and how did it end?
The dude who had his mind set on disputing the "room full of monkeys with typewriters" theory in this case is Hunter Thompson, no?
As far as I could tell, there was no point. Neither was there a coherent storyline.
Compared to this, any Steven Segal movie is to be considered a freakin' masterpiece.
Damn hung-over art school drop-out fiesta hyped up by coked-out movie critics
Damn !!!!!
For once I agree with you guys. I've stopped it after 1/2 hour.I don't understand why this so called movie is now considered cult.
Yes, I do think the author in question is Hunter Thompson. Haven't read the book, so it could be great for all I know.
Also, in most cases "cult classic" = turkey.
Interesting, it seems that of the three of us, Wilhelm is the only one who managed to sit through the whole movie. I wouldn't have guess that; I think he has stop midway through a movie more often then I have.
So you're saying that V to da V secretly loved Falilv but pretends not to for obscure reasons.
Interesting
Pigeon: You just stopped watching because you realized it wasn't called "12 Monkeys In Las Vegas" after all, didn't you?
Btw; nice use of my "Are you saying that..." bit
