Absolutely mind blowing film. Imagine Taxi Driver without the taxi! Directed by regular shit stirrer Gaspar Noe (Irreversible). This is not for the faint hearted.

No it's not, a very good movie, I think that one would be first, then Rise of the Foot Soldier, then The Football Factory.

What an incredible film. It was the first of its kind when released in 1976. Peter Finch does an amazing job. Here's a clip:

And Waking Life, for those of you who haven't seen it, here's a short clip:

Where the Buffalo Roam

Rezz might like this one, seeing your avy.

Watched it last night again. I might actually like it better than Fear and Loathing. Bill Murray is one funny guy.

Where the Buffalo Roam is a 1980 comedy film based on a number of semi-biographical stories written by author Hunter S. Thompson. The film loosely depicts Thompson's rise to fame in the 1970s and his relationship with Chicano attorney and activist Oscar Zeta Acosta. Art Linson directed the picture, while Bill Murray portrayed the author and Peter Boyle portrayed Acosta, who is referred to in the film as Carl Lazlo, Esq. A number of additional names, places, and other details of Thompson's biography are also changed in the film.

Yea, this is one of my favorite movies. Much better than the remake with Depp. The story line may not be as crazy but the acting is imo superior.

That movie was fantastic. A real sad yet entertaining story.

I read Fear and Loathing, but it was word for word with the movie. The book is mostly killer because of all the illustrations. I think they were done by Ralph Stedman.
