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.

The movie really did some solid justice to the book. I remember reading it for the first time and seeing Hunter's (Thompson's? Not sure what he would have preferred) recommendation in the foreword to read it in something close to the state as it was experience a.k.a intoxicated as all hell. I can't imagine trying to read or write at ALL if I was on half as many drugs as that dude took during his trip.
Heard a story.... HST worked as a bouncer for a strip club in San Francisco. He was writing a story of 2 bbrothes that ran the place. When one brother killed the other, HST was so bummed that he burned the manuscript. I heard that from a regular that used to play golf with HST and share joints. That's all I got. I will not be taking questions.

I haven't watched either movies based on fear and loathing. They seem pretty popular.

I watched Fear and Loathing about a decade before I did acid for the first time, so I knew what to expect when I did acid for the first time haha

Upvote for Oscar Zeta Acosta. Recommendation: "Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo"
Oh. And I will never not upvote HST.

Seems like a decent lawyer, despite his racial handicap. (It's from the movie!)

The Brown Buffalo was an actual licensed California lawyer and a leading figure in the Chicano civil rights movement.

His first article with Hunter, Strange Rumblings in Aztlan, is a powerful piece.

I remember that Acosta didn't like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas only because HST called him a 300-pound Samoan.

Could be for the Tequila. Could be cocaine. Although I thought they spilled it on the drive over ….
