    Fear and Loathing In Boise

    by divalizz

    Loved it, hated it, laughed,winced, retched - truly weird, wild, wacky, just what I would expect for a visual version of Hunter S Thompson. Brilliant performance by Johnny Depp (but oh, I missed his hair!) I hope the young people of today will see this as a parody and realize how truly horrendous the drug culture can be, but I'm afraid they just won't get it. Been there, done that - lived to tell the tale!
