Somewhere Around Barstow

Terry Gilliam directed this 1998 take on the immortal Hunter S. Thomson's book "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream" starring Johnny Depp as Duke and Benicio Del Toro as Dr. Gonzo.

I read this book in High School. Yes, that's what happened to me.

I read this book in 1996 and fell in love with it. In 97' I got out of the military and was working at a psych hospital in northern AZ. Me and my wife decided to drive to Vegas. When we got onto the freeway I noticed this paper sign with "Fear and Loathing" printed on it. It had an arrow pointing in the direction we were driving. We got onto the highway and kept passing up these fake cacti. I told my wife "those look like the artwork from the book!" We passed up the production crew at one point. It was just strange being a huge fan of HST and driving right threw all of this scene on my own way to Vegas.

Sure, sweetpea.

But you can isdupe your own video if YOURS is the dupe. You can't dupe someone else's video if you are saying yours is the original.
