is it just me or is everyone hyping the film too much? the book is far far superior, other good shit everyone should read by HST is hells angels, fear and loathing on the campaign trail, and the rum diaries (didn't enjoy this one as much, but good to read some of his stuff before he got quite as intense)

This film is definatly one of the most abstract films you could ever sit down and have a smoke to!
Detail to wierdness is immense (like the tyre fire whilst driving down the highway. the smoke bellows INWARDS) Hardly noticable, very subtle
Remind me of being a yut and trying to work out what it all ment.
Not many films can stand up to this one for utter chaos
