  If you are noticing audio sync issues, it is because of YouTube’s new “feature” called Stable Volume. It’s automatically turned on and can desync a lot of videos. <br>Turn it off in the settings of this video to fix the problem :)

  Hunter S. Thompson — &apos;I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they&apos;ve always worked for me.&apos;

  Trying to make sense of this movie while A. not knowing who Hunter S. Thompson is and B. being sober seems a monumental task.

  Hunter&apos;s philosophical monologue halfway into the movie about the american dream is strangly beautiful.

  So basically the production was very authentic to Hunter S Thompson&apos;s &quot;fictional story&quot; (read: slightly fictionalized account of what he and Oscar Zeta did in Vegas while high as kites) down to Johnny Depp wearing Thompson&apos;s actual real life clothes from this time period, given to him by the man himself. Despite the accuracies there is one significant blunder though. When Depp&apos;s character looks at the screen and says &apos;You&apos;re not Portuguese, man&apos;. This is incorrect, as in fact I am.

  Thompson said the only problem he had with this depiction of his book/him, was the abuse of the waiter at the hotel. He said he&apos;d never be rude to service industry workers.

  One of my favorite movie quotes is from this movie: &quot;Too weird to live, too rare to die.&quot;

  Terry Gilliam is the king of surrealist movies. Check out Brazil, The Fisher King , 12 Monkeys, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

  &quot;Right next to me a huge reptile was gnawing on a woman&apos;s neck, the carpet was a blood-soaked sponge—impossible to walk on it, no footing at all. “Order some golf shoes,” I whispered. “Otherwise, we&apos;ll never get out of this place alive. You notice these lizards don&apos;t have any trouble moving around in this muck—that&apos;s because they have claws on their feet&quot;<br> <br>Passage from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

  In that scene at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKlpRPDHH4w&amp;t=1283">21:23</a> there&apos;s a bit where he narrates &quot;There I was...&quot; then he stops to look at that guy sitting there and says, &quot;Mother of god, there I am! Holy fuck! Uh....&quot; That was a cameo by the real life Hunter S. Thompson. I love that the character gets so thrown off by encountering his real life counterpart that he needs to take a second before continuing.

  The best way I have heard this movie described &quot;it&apos;s like drugs. At first, it is fun and trippy, but eventually, you want it to end, but it won&apos;t. &quot;
