Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - a Bit Over the Top
Not sure what to think of the movie we watched last night. It was certainly not my favorite Johnny Depp performance. I read the novel a while back, and I’ve read a lot of things by Hunter S. Thompson, from Rolling Stones articles to Hells Angels. It could just be me, but Depp looked more like Elton John in thie film than Thompson, and the constant effort to continue over-blown physical “tics” was more irritating than entertaining.
Still…there was a lot to like. I think they captured some fo the 1960s mentality quite well, and the tacky, gaudy Las Vegas scenes were perfect. It’s certainly not a movie for the faint of stomach.
Today we’re off to watch Wall-E…whole family outing.
