Aye, while the movie is great, the book is even better. Same thing with Trainspotting, highly recommended.
where's the love for natural born killers? that was a pretty drug-fueled movie. and as far as trainspotting, i started reading the sequel, porno, recently. not as good as trainspotting i don't think but i guess it's still better than anything by teri woods.
Oh..I LOVE natural born killers! But I was talking about funny movies when on drugs.
Requiem For a Dream is excellent, everyone should watch it

The thing is awsome.. Personally I like it way more then trainspotting.
so no ones seen spun?
both good movies. spurn and fear and loathing also good. try fast sofa, permanent midnight...
Requiem for a dream is a work of art. One of the best movies I have ever seen.
Trainspotting....was ok. It was at least entertaining. I realize the two movies are both about heroin addicts. But other than that, I cant even see comparing the two.
Spun was ok too. I mean it was really funny and entertaining in some parts. But once again, not on the level of requiem for a dream.
But yeah Fear and Loathing is also one of the greatest movies ever. I have not picked up the book , even though I have wanted to for years. But it is just a very unique brand of comedy. I didn't think I would like "where the buffalo roam" but I actually liked that movie too. Not as much as fear and loathing. But its worth checking out.
^^
Definitely pick up the book, for sure. The movie is excellent - the book is something else though, like nothing else you'll read. Hunter S. Thompson was the shiznit.
Requiem for a Dream in my mind is one of the few films that is truly art thanks mostly to Darren Aronofsky and the way he choses to see...and put it on film.
In saying not only a visual but in my bias audio and emotional expression.
It's a movie...painting....CD....I guess.Great movie either way.
Trainspotting is an awesome film as well but imo it's on a different level especially in terms of artistic impact..
Each to their own.
oh yeah ive seen the fear and loathing on TV. i need to watch it again though.
requiem is more emotional really and that will grab you. Ellen Burstyn story is the one that shocked me.
some say spun ripped of requiem.
spun and requiem are not even close. I mean they are both about drugs. That's as close as they get.
and im not sure because I have never seen it. But im pretty sure that the TV version of fear and loathing would suck my ass compared to the un rated version
