I'll pick it up on Blu-Ray eventually. Its got some great scenes, like the intro, that were shot with IMAX cameras, so the video quality will be incredibly high in those scenes, up there with movies like Speed Racer.
Digital copies are awesome, even though I never actually use them! But whatever, I like it when studios actually work for my money. Its just too damn easy to pirate DVD's these days, which is why I only buy DVD's from companies like Criterion who actually put some work into their boxes and booklets, etc. You are lucky if you even get a slip of paper inside most DVD's!
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
