Is Terry Gilliam’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas a brilliant rendering of one of the greatest pieces of 60’s reportage or a pitiful regurgitation of a self-indulgent piece of 60’s “look at me!” journalism? Is it proof of Gilliam’s visual genius or an even more compelling proof of his inability to articulate a thought? Is this Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo’s drug-fueled dream of Nirvana or our popcorn-fueled nightmare Movie Hell? Join us when we take the high road for a Cinema Slapdown screening and debate of this cult hit. Featuring celebrated author and Fiction Writing Department faculty member Don (“This blows me away!”) DeGrazia versus Film & Video Department Chair Bruce (“No, it just blows”) Sheridan. Referee’d by Ron Falzone, Film & Video faculty and host of Talk Cinema
