The Movie: Welp, aside from my general theme of watching movies that I should have seen a long time ago but haven't, I've also got my theme of movies set in Vegas that I'm sorta running with. I've heard really great things about this movie, and I've heard really bad things about this movie, and I figured, hey, even though it was mostly filmed in California, it is mostly set in Las Vegas, so I might as well give it a shot.

The coolest thing I've ever seen in a movie, ever, was the moving carpet pattern trip that happened while Johnny Depp was checking into The Mint hotel. [a little trivia -- the Mint was bought and annexed by Binion's Horseshoe]. But overall, I didn't really like this movie. Ok. So the movie is supposed to be like one big long drug trip, but really, if I wanted to experience that, I'd rather go out and do some drugs so I can really experience it instead of being bored off my ass wondering when this movie is going to end. To the true fans of this film, I'm sorry, but I didn't really enjoy it very much.

The DVD: Hmmm, it's hard for me to be impartial here since I didn't even really like the movie. But. It was presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen format, and the transfer did look pretty good. The special features I didn't really pay too much attention to because, well, why would I want to watch deleted footage from a movie I didn't like that wasn't even good enough to make it into the movie? But yes, there is deleted footage, plus your standard filmographies and trailers. Overall, average content, but potentially interesting if you like this movie.
