#175 - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

 

This is our third Terry Gilliam film after Time Bandits and Brazil and truth be told, a DVD I've owned for a long time - I sort of like Hunter S. Thompson and the occasional drug epic - and this is probably why - LOL

I also love Vegas - Normally I put stuff here that I can remember what the movie is about but I almost replayed this one from memory and what a great two hours it was :)

all I'll say is Johnny Depp nails HST, the highlights of the book are hit, and it's a great piece of work that'll have you saying stuff like "as your attorney I advise you try the meat lovers pizza"

all I really got to say on this

#174 - Band of Outsiders

 

This was the next film Jean-Luc Godard did after Contempt which is surprising...because it feels like this and the next few will be steps back into Black and White - it uses the formula he likes, which is a girl and a gun - LOL

It was interesting - I was mostly waiting for the heist part and it took a while to get to - it was a fascinating story and I did try very hard to keep my interest but a lot of it was small french talk - and it was a LOT - LOL but I also always love seeing old France and Paris - some of my favorite movies are things like the documentary La Joli Mai where you get to see Paris in the 50's and 60's which is when I would have wanted to go

but I like Godard for the most part - some of his stuff like Masclin Feminin are some of my favorites but he is experimental and doesn't always hit 100% to me - but I will look forward to Breathless again when it shows up
