One of the best openings to a movie!
Raoul Duke: "I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive" Suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us, and the sky was full with what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, and a voice was screaming: "Holy Jesus. What are these goddamn animals? " Dr. Gonzo: Did you say something? ... Link

The book was great but I think the film adaptation was extremely impressive. How they managed to port some of the psychadelic imagery into actual moving pictures is quite a feat... The acting was of course brilliant too... ... Link

I love the movie... I'm watching it tonight.... Terry Gilliam did a fucking great job I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me. ... Link ... Comment

The Feds did it!
anyone found any conspiracy sites commenting his death yet? Considering HST's distrust of law enforcement this is bound to spawn plenty of conspiracy theories. ... Link

Give them a chance!
Even conspiracy theories take more than a couple of hours to make up and then publish on the Internet... He only 'shot himself' yesterday evening... ... Link ... Comment

His last article
(aparently) http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?id=1992213 HST: "Well, I'm writing a column for ESPN.com and I want to know if you like my new golf idea. A two-man team." BILL: "Well, with all safety in mind, yes. Two-man team? Yeah! That sounds great. I think it would create a whole new look. It would create a whole new clothing line." HST: "Absolutely. You'll need a whole new wardrobe for this game." BILL: "Shooting glasses and everything." HST: "We'll obviously have to make a movie. This will mushroom or mutate -- either way -- into a real craze. And given the mood of this country, being that a lot of people in the mood to play golf are also in the mood to shoot something, I think it would take off like a gigantic fad." ... Link ... Comment

Found it!
My favourite quote: We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-coloured uppers, downers, screamers, laughers and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Once you get locked into a serious drug collection, not that we needed all that for the trip, the tendency is to push it as far as you can... ... Link

ahh there is more
The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon. ...................................... I also like: Know your dope fiend. You will not be able to see his eyes because of tea shades, but his knuckles will be white from inner tension and his pants will be crusted with semen from jacking off when he can't find a rape victim. and Sounds like big trouble. You're going to need plenty of legal advice before this thing is over. As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with no top. And you'll need the cocaine. Tape recorder for special messages. Acapulco shirts. Get the hell out of L.A. for at least 48 hours. ... Link ... Comment |
