Try the link.
I'm not willing to waste that kind of time just to watch a movie.
And the point to it is?. . .. I guess you had to see the movie to understand the GIF.. . ..

You're an uncultured lout.
(Hey, you requested it.)
It's not really a movie that I would consider culture-y. Yes, there is plenty of period political pontificating, but if you want to see that more than you want to see drunk/high people interacting with a world that isn't really prepared for them, then I'd recommend the Rum Diaries.
Although, it is thanks to that movie that I start whistling Ride of the Valkyries when I encounter a severely dusty rallycross.

Actually, I almost posted this in the Minor Confessions thread, but it's equally relevant here:
Despite being born in 1965, I don't think Hunter S. Thompson was the second coming of druggie Jesus, nor do I think the vast majority of his writing is particularly good or even interesting. Mostly, I just think he was a drunken shiny happy person. I watched the whole documentary interview(s) that are on the B-side of the Rum Diaries DVD, which are at least as long as the film itself. He never said a single word that wasn't either outlandishly childish and/or self-serving. I wanted to punch him in the face about 17 times. I kept thinking "This man is the James Joyce of my generation - over-rated, under-talented, unstable, and arrogant."

This made me look stuff like this up and watch it:

Dick. 
At the urging of a roommate I read Thompson's collected works some years ago.
I also saw him give a "speech" when I was in college. About an hour and a half after he was supposed to arrive, an ice chest was dragged on the stage, which had only a small table and a folding chair. Thompson then ambled onto the stage, sat down, reached into the cooler for a handful of ice, cracked it over the glass. He then reached into the cooler again for a bottle of something (looked like whiskey) and poured himself a tall one. Then he said "any questions?"
A few folks asked him some banal, fawning questions about his writing. He answered off-handedly and obviously was only interested it getting it all over with so he could get his check.
Drunken shiny happy person is about the best description I've heard of him.
